About The Custom Shade Company

Guided by experience.
Local expertise.

The Custom Shade Company is a woman-owned Portland business built around a more personal approach to window coverings. I work one-on-one with each client, taking the time to understand your home, your style, and how you use each space.

From selecting materials to balancing privacy, light control, and design, I guide you through every detail—from consultation to installation.

MEET YOUR DESIGNER

Every project begins with listening.
Personally guided by Zee.

The Custom Shade Company began from a simple belief: choosing window coverings should feel personal, not overwhelming. After years in the industry, I created The Custom Shade Company to offer something different—a more personal experience where every client works directly with me from the first conversation through installation. Instead of a high-pressure sales experience, I focus on understanding your home, your style, and how you live so every recommendation feels intentional and tailored to you.

With more than 14 years of experience, I guide you through every step—from the initial consultation to final installation. Together, we'll create window coverings that are timeless, functional, and thoughtfully tailored to your home and the way you live.
