Meet The Principal and Founder

In 2007, after 10+ years of experience with high-profile design firms, Heather Richards founded Bloom Studio

 

Heather Richards, AIA
Architect, founder

Heather holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the acclaimed Interior Architecture program at Arizona State University. After gaining industry experience, she founded Bloom Studio in Arizona, and then relocated the firm to the Denver metro area in 2010. Heather’s passion for excellence and creative solutions is evident in the firm’s extensive portfolio of work. She is directly involved in all projects, and is known to be a perfectionist. Her design solutions are economical, creative, and function-driven. Her design talents are widely recognized and have resulted in award-winning projects.

Away from work, Heather’s perfect day would be spent with her husband and daughters! Her favorite activities include running, biking, gardening, paddleboarding, hiking, and traveling the world.  Her dogs and pets bring a huge smile to her face – she’s never met a dog she didn’t think was adorable.

The Impact of Design – Bloom Studio believes that the design of your space has a tremendous impact on how your business functions. A well-designed space allows you to function efficiently, retain employees, and set yourself apart from competition.  It’s just good business.

 …“I have been working with Heather for over 5 years now and would recommend her to anyone of my friends or clients.  Her great attention to detail, amazing space design skills, quick turn-around time and affordable cost of services have helped me and dozens of my professional clients.  I have never had a client go away unhappy with her price or services provided.”
