“A Place for Everything…and Everything In its Place!”
I have brought order to my surroundings for as long as I can remember. As a child, I would clean and organize my friends’ rooms at sleepovers! Personally, I am highly productive when I have order in my life, so I want this for everyone.
On any given day, my clients say, “My closet has been life changing!” They never say, “Eh, it’s just a closet.” We’re in our closets at least twice a day, every day, so it shouldn’t be “just a closet.” It should be a personal sanctuary! Once you have experienced a well-designed custom closet (that I’ve designed for you) you’ll call me and say “I love my closet so much, I want to sleep in there!”
Did you say you wanted a Princess Closet? I’ll be right over!
“I love it! OMG. You did a wonderful job. Ryan was so awesome, he did an amazing job as well. You were right, my husband loves it, too!“

“All the storage and organization you guys gave me is single-handedly my favorite thing about our new home!”

“How do you first approach a space? In other words, what’s the first thing you think about when you first see a client’s closet space/storage problem?”
“What is the biggest design obstacle you’ve overcome? i.e. awkwardly angled walls, electrical sockets in bizarre places, big collections in small spaces.”
All kinds! Awkward angles. Crazy walls. Wall dividers. Different ceiling heights. Different widths. Luckily, when everything you do is 100% custom, there’s no design obstacle too big to overcome!
“Since collaboration is such an integral part of the design process, how do you like to engage or connect with clients in order to help them realize their vision for a space?”
I hear everything they say, I take in their every word. They usually do not have a vision, but they usually have a long list of wants and needs. The more they tell me, the more likely I will return with a slam dunk design. They are usually amazed at the level I heard absolutely everything they said to me, and incorporated it into the design. I recently designed a closet for a woman that said how much she loved purses, and that she loved her purses more than shoes. In her currently closet, she had purse storage and wanted that again. What I returned with was some purse storage, but also a lighted glass cabinet, directly across from the entry to the closet, to feature/display her favorite purses. It will be the she will see every time she walks into her closet. I believe it will make her smile, every time.
“How are you inspired by a home’s existing décor? Is there anything specific that you look for during an in-home consultation?”
“What are some ways a custom designed home office can improve productivity? In other words, how does the right type of home office help people do business?”
I have done quite a few “combo” home offices. An area to conduct business, but a separate area for a hobby. The separate area may be for sewing or crafts. The two areas are designed completely different, based on the needs. By doing this, it separates work and play. The hobby doesn’t take over the job/business work space.
“What are some modern organizational trends, or what’s a trend you’re looking for?”
Boutique closet design is by far my favorite trend. This is mainly because the closet is becoming a place people retreat to. As a result, builders are leaving the empty spaces open for creativity to add a boutique walk-in closet that’s been custom-made for their homebuyers.
Each of our custom offices is completely personalized and begins with a complimentary design appointment.
