Designs by Kristy
I have 20 years of experience in Interior Design bringing bold colors and textures into my client's homes and most importantly, finding what brings each one joy! My clients become my friends and often share our joy of the outdoors whether skiing, hiking, sharing a good glass of wine or bottle! I am lucky to share my everyday love of life with my funny, adventurous 6 year old son, River and my husband, Bret who keeps me laughing and my heart full!

Owner, Abloom Florist
Abloom Florist
9325 Dorchester St. F-122 abloomhighlandsranch.com 303-470-1700
Leah worked for ConAgra Foods for over 30 years in various management positions, when the opportunity arose to fulfill a lifelong dream of being a small business owner. Leah took over as the owner of Abloom Florist in Highlands Ranch January 2020. Much of the early days were spent in the height of the pandemic, she wouldn't trade those days for anything! Abloom became flexible and shifted to accommodate protocols to ensure safe deliveries to all customers. Leah and her team are extremely grateful to have the support of our local community!
