Don't Get Blindsided

The name "Blindside Blinds" was inspired by the way many window covering companies surprise—often not in a good way—their customers.

Traditional full-service businesses tend to "blindside" customers with high costs, charging for everything from product markups, to labor and service fees. They handle everything, which is convenient, but customers often end up paying more than they expected.

On the flip side, modern DIY websites can also "blindside" their customers by making the process seem easier than it really is. With vague instructions, generalized marketing, and limited support, many homeowners find themselves frustrated, needing extra help just to complete the project they thought would be simple.

At Blindside Blinds, we aim to change that. By offering both full-service and customizable options, we give you control over how much or how little help you want—without any surprises along the way.

Meet the Owner

Hi, I'm Brady!

My experience in the window coverings industry began when I was just 19 years old, at a small blinds manufacturing facility in Gilbert, AZ. While simultaneously attending college as an engineering student, I got my start on the assembly line, stringing and cutting blinds with precise specifications, ensuring a custom fit with each order.

This operation was quite small compared to most manufacturing plants, and our team was even smaller. This was the perfect learning environment for me, because it encouraged me to be cross-trained in multiple areas of the business; this included forklift operation, warehouse management, and installation of window coverings in the field (my personal favorite). I learned how to install blinds and shades of all styles, including shutters!

After college, I got a job working for an online company that sells and ships blinds directly to consumers. I began in the Customer Service department as a design consultant, and worked my way up over many years to being the head of website operations. I also worked on side projects to create instructional manuals, educational DIY videos, and installations for influencer and celebrity homes!

By utilizing my experience on both side of window coverings retail, I've gotten a close look at the struggles many customers face. If I could put it simply: either they're paying too much, or they're running into technical issues when trying to measure and install by themselves.

And so, I started Blindside Blinds. I aim to combine my 12 years of unique experiences and connections in this industry, and help any possible combination of needs throughout the window-covering journey. Let us know how we can help, whether you need an all-inclusive service, or just a little bit of help!
