Heather Richards, AIA
Architect, founder

Heather holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the acclaimed five-year Interior Architecture program at Arizona State University. After 10+ years of experience with high profile design firms, she founded Bloom Studio. 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 functional. Her design talents are widely recognized and have resulted in award-winning projects.

Away from work, Heather’s perfect day would be spent outdoors with her family. Being outdoors makes this Colorado native feel alive! Favorite activities include running, biking, paddleboarding, hiking, and traveling the world.
