A Family Business
Brother and sister team, Blair and Ashley Dimond, established Aspen+Birch Homes, LLC in February of 2019 with the successful design, build and sale of a spec home in Pagosa Springs, their first joint venture. Ashley’s experience as an Event Designer/Business Owner along with her BA in Interior Design, together with Blair’s General Contracting, Project Management and Commercial Flooring experience, make the perfect collaboration for building dream homes for clients in Pagosa Springs and surrounding areas.
Ashley Dimond
Ashley recently moved to Pagosa Springs in the summer of 2021 after the Covid Pandemic made it impossible to continue with her successful event design, decor and planning company in the Southern California area. She brings her extensive knowledge of design, client relations, project coordination and creativity to this new chapter of her career.
Originally from the Northern California East Bay, Ashley attended the University of Arizona where she studied Theater. After relocating to Southern California, while studying set design, Ashley fell into the events world while earning a BFA in Interior Design. While putting herself through design school, she worked as a freelance event designer and upon graduating, she was hired as an Event Producer at an LA based production company. While there, she developed a strong corporate clientele and gained crucial design and planning experience. Before deciding to branch out on her own, she briefly worked at another LA based event company where she elevated her skills in social and media driven events such as high profile network launches and movie premiers. During the 15 years Ashley was designing and producing large scale events she had the amazing opportunity to design all of the special events including the official After Party for the Academy of Country Music during the annual ACM Awards week in Las Vegas. Closing the doors of her company, Studio AD, and moving to Colorado has allowed Ashley to dive into the busy world of home building where she can continue designing and looks forward to the ongoing partnership with her brother, Blair.
She is currently enjoying her second summer in Pagosa, spends as much time as she can exploring her new town and her biggest joys are her 4 year old son, Taylor, her niece, Alexa - 18 and nephew, Tyler - 14.
