Today With Theresa Harmon:

Join me in this inspiring episode as I chat with Theresa Harmon, the current president of the Richmond, Virginia WCAA chapter. Theresa shares her journey in the window covering industry and emphasizes the importance of discovering your “why.” With a background in graphic design and a passion for creating, she discusses the challenges and joys of running her own business, from problem-solving design dilemmas to connecting with clients. We also dive into the supportive community of the WCAA and how collaboration enriches our industry. Tune in for insights that can inspire your own creative journey!

More About Theresa Harmon

A lifelong creative, Theresa Harmon’s first professional fabrication job involved making soft furnishings for a bed-and-breakfast in Jonesborough, TN in 2006. She was hooked, but unable to fully realize her workroom dream until 2018 when she opened All the Trimmings Shop. She fabricates window treatments and pillows, but loves making custom cushions most of all. Theresa has a BFA in Communication Arts & Design from Virginia Commonwealth University. She taught for Husqvarna Viking 2017-2019, won a Jill Robson Memorial Scholarship in 2020, and most recently was one of the instructors at the Custom Workroom Conference in Warwick, RI. She is currently the president of the Richmond Chapter of WCAA.
