Our Northwest Arkansas Team

  • Kyle Williams Owner

    AKA: The Lord of the Blinds

    Hi Friend! Thank you so much for considering Bumble Bee Blinds of Northwest Arkansas for your family's indoor and/or outdoor window treatment, blinds, shades, and shutter needs.

    My wife, Melanie (AKA: Queen Bee) and I started this business with a dream of providing freedom for our family while serving and supporting our treasured Northwest Arkansas community. We are a locally owned and family operated, yet strategically partnered with the national Bumble Bee Blinds franchise brand (a part of the HorsePower brands family) allowing us to bring NWA a massive custom window treatment assortment at the best possible value!

    A little background on me: I grew up in New Jersey and married my high school sweetheart (Queen Bee) and we have been blessed with two fantastic kids. We are servants of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are fortunate to call Northwest Arkansas home for the last decade and counting. By day, I lead a CPG sales team partnering with Walmart & Sam's Club. By night, some say I transform into a Shaded (or Caped) Crusader of sorts (listen, all I can say is Batman and I have never been seen in the same room, at the same time...). In my free time (what's that?!), I like to spend time with our children, attempt to work out, hit golf balls into the woods, and pound coffee.

    We are grateful for any opportunity to bring you dream home to life and hope our Hive can serve you soon!

  • Gina Murray Hamrick General Manager

    Welcome to Bumble Bee Blinds! I am excited to be part of such an amazing company and team.

    Window treatments serve a functional purpose, while allowing you to express yourself- to create a space that is truly yours. As such, I would like to tell you a little about me. I grew up in Arkansas and absolutely love all it has to offer. I love that I can easily choose to unplug in nature or catch an award-winning show in the same day if I want. I am a proud Razorback and catch any basketball game I can. I have two beautiful children who are my joy.

    In my career, I am blessed to have found my calling. Our surroundings impact us more than most of us realize. I love working with people to build the space you spend your time in- whether it is work, home, or anywhere in between. My goal is to make both the experience and the outcome everything you hope for it to be. I look forward to working with you.

  • Benjamin Rader Design Consultant

    I am honored to be part of the Bumble Bee Blinds team and to help bring beauty, comfort, and functionality into your home through custom window treatments. I believe your home should feel like a reflection of you, and I look forward to guiding you through the design process to make that a reality.


    I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, where my parents instilled in me a strong work ethic and the importance of craftsmanship. My father taught me carpentry at a young age, and I’ve always loved working with my hands and creating art. Over the years, I’ve explored many creative outlets — from glassblowing, with pieces showcased in Cannon Beach, Oregon, to teaching bead-making in Germany. Designing and building one-of-a-kind furniture pieces has also been a long-time passion of mine. Professionally, I’ve worked as both a contractor and realtor, with extensive remodeling experience that gives me a unique perspective when it comes to design and home improvement. I bring this blend of creativity, artistry, and hands-on knowledge into every project I work on. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, and finding new creative projects to dive into.

    At Bumble Bee Blinds of Northwest Arkansas, my goal as your design consultant is to make sure your window treatments aren’t just functional but also beautifully tailored to your lifestyle and home. I look forward to partnering with you to create spaces you’ll love for years to come!
