Kenzie Wallace
Design Consultant
Hi, I'm Kenzie! I'm a Design Consultant with Budget Blinds, and I love helping people find window covering that feel right for their home and make everyday life a little easier.
I know there are a lot of options, so I like to start by listening. Whether you're looking for more privacy, better light control, or a look that pulls the room together, I'll help you sort through the choices and find something that fits your style and the way you use your space. One of my favorite parts of this job is getting to know my customers and seeing their ideas come to life.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, Ben, and our dog Nellie. I'm usually up for a good cup of coffee, time outdoors, or a day with family and friends. My faith and community are a big part of my life too.

Voyen Adamson
Professional Installation Technician
I like working at Budget Blinds because I actually get to see the difference my work makes. As an installer, I’m the one finishing the job and making sure everything fits, functions, and looks top-notch. I enjoy the challenge of figuring things out on site and leaving customers happy with their new blinds or shades. It’s a good feeling driving away, knowing I made someone’s home just a little better. Plus, the team here feels like family; we joke around, help each other out, and take pride in doing things right. It’s a combination of the hands-on work with a visible payoff alongside people I get to interact and learn from every day.
