Our Ponte Vedra Beach Team

  • Tricia Thompson Owner

    About Me: The Queen Bee

    As the proud owner of Bumble Bee Blinds in Ponte Vedra Beach, I bring a unique blend of experience, passion, and dedication to every project. With a background in sociology and a master’s degree in public administration, my career has been driven by a deep love for people and community. I spent over 20 years as an executive leader in nonprofit organizations, specializing in operations, human resource management, and training—always with a focus on excellence and integrity.

    Growing up as a military brat, I moved every two years, gaining exposure to diverse people, cultures, and styles. This ever-changing environment instilled in me a passion for design on a budget—transforming spaces to reflect personality while promoting a sense of comfort and well-being. Now, as a business owner, I get to blend my love for community, design, and service, helping homeowners create beautiful, functional spaces that enhance their daily lives.

    Family is at the heart of everything I do, and opening a family business has been a dream come true. At Bumble Bee Blinds, my goal is simple: to leave things better than I found them—just as my dad taught me. Whether it’s through top-quality window treatments, exceptional service, or a personal touch, I’m committed to helping my clients bring their vision to life with style and purpose.
