Our Talented Staff

Pat Bollinger Simpson, ASID, CAPS

Our Fearless Leader

Pat has been owner and principal designer for Bollinger Design Group for over 25 years. She is NCIDQ certified, is a professional member of the American Society of Interior Designers and is a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS). She has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Home Economics from the University of North Carolina in Greensboro and a second Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design from the Interior Design Institute of Denver. She was a faculty member for six years at the Interior Design Institute, teaching courses in Design History and Historic Preservation. Pat was featured in the international edition of Who’s Who in Interior Design and her work has been published in Colorado Homes and Lifestyles magazine, The Denver Post, the Rocky Mountain News and Renew Magazine.

Pat is an award winning interior designer. Her awards include the ASID Designer of Distinction Award, ASID Merit Award in Kitchen Design, First Place Crystal Award for Single Space, Private Area for a Master Suite, and her latest award, the ASID “Albee” Award.

Albee Phipps, FASID, was one of the early members/founders of the American Society of Interior Designers in Colorado and a president of the chapter. He spent a good part of his career working for Howard Lorton Galleries in Colorado Springs, but his big claim to fame was as a founder and president of Pat’s ASID chapter. He served as President of the state chapter and on various committees during his career and constantly strove to further the stature of the interior design profession both locally and nationally. On a National level, he was so highly recognized that he was awarded the honor of “Fellow” even before Pat became president of her student chapter in 1985. That’s what the “F” stands for in the alphabet soup at the end of his name. His tireless work on behalf of ASID earned him the title of “ founding father” and after his death some years ago, the Colorado Chapter created an annual award to be given to a designer who exemplifies the commitment and dedication to the chapter and the profession like Albee did. It is the highest honor bestowed by the Chapter on a member and signifies a lifetime of contribution. “This is why I am touched and shocked that I was the recipient this year! It’s like WOW! Amazing! Only about 5 people have received the award in the whole chapter so I feel incredibly lucky and honored,” remarked Pat.

Congratulations to Pat on her latest 2019 ASID “Albee” award!

What Our Customers Say

Absolutely the best!!! Took our 1950’s house into the 21st century without losing its “charm.” Great at space planning, colors & window coverings. Does both design & construction. The entire basement developed an identity as living space instead of “dank storage.”
