Daniel DeVictoria, Design Consultant

In my experience, I’ve come to learn there is tranquility, a certain inner serenity and mental preparedness which stems from living in an organized home. Your abode should be a haven, a place to relieve you of everyday stress, not add to it. In order to gain peace of mind, it is necessary to take life’s complex tasks and make them, simplified. That’s where I come in.

Debbi-Lee Irwin, Design Consultant

Ellen Berman, Design Consultant

I am a graduate of Parsons School of Design in New York.  Upon graduating I was fortunate to be able to design for Cole of California, Catalina Swimwear, and Ardee Sportswear to name a few.  After 17 years in the industry, I decided to make a career change and attended U.C.L.A to study interior design.

LaNay Locher, Designer

One year ago my husband and I remodeled our home.  Our contractor suggested we work with California Closets for our storage needs.  While having an interior design background, I was very eager to consult with an expert from California Closets.Our designer was amazing!  She asked us what we wanted and listened to our ideas.  She shared suggestions that provided us with the best use of our space, all while meeting our goals!  The entire process was seamless and the result was exactly what we wanted!

Lori Ramos, Project Coordinator | Builder Division

As an Interior Designer I have spent a lot of time thinking about space, so five years ago when I became a Designer at California Closets my horizons extended and my imagination was ignited.Today, I am recognized as a Senior Designer with one of the most innovated and trusted companies.  My expertise allows me to collaborate and partner up with people to bring together their objectives and make their dreams a reality.  These visions go beyond "Closets" and have taken me to an extensive range in design.

Lynn Esola, Designer

Years ago while acting as owner-builder with my husband on our complete home remodel I was introduced to California Closets by our architect.  From that day forward I was hooked. For the past six years I have been an award winning designer with California Closets and look forward to turning spaces in your home, which may seem like chaos--into a serene and beautiful space. Yes it is possible!

Michael Rosen, Design Consultant

It’s been my privilege to have worked on very creative levels with gifted people from all over the world from many different walks of life in order to bring their most brilliant ideas and products to fruition.  One of my greatest passions has been working with my clients to help transform their dreams and inspirations into reality.

Missy Almester, Designer

 As a designer, the most important part of creating a design is you.  During the initial consultation, I'll spend a good deal of time listening to you.  I'll ask leading questions that help translate information that is essential to me as the designer.  I'll transform that information into feeling, formulating thoughts and developing ideas that give fulfillment to the creative vision.  Mixing in imagination, I will create a design that encompasses everything that you have hoped for.

Robin Roy

My friends and family will tell you how proud I am to work for California Closets.  I've never had a job where I receive SO much positive feedback from clients!  This is easily my favorite part of the job.  That's the happy ending, but getting there is where the fun lies. 

Sue Bell, Design Consultant

Organization is my life’s mantra. My goal is to share that with each and every one of you. The secret to my success is my ability to hear what your needs are and to translate that into the design I offer you. Together we will spend as much time as necessary to assure you that I am going to create the perfect solution and allow you to feel totally comfortable with the California Closets process.  There is nothing I love more than following up after the installation is complete to hear your exclamations of how the closet has exceeded all your expectations!

Todd Jones, Design Consultant

The maximization of space has always been something that has sparked my attention.  Even as a child, I would find myself organizing my room out of joy, not responsibility.  Now with over 20 years of space maximization and special design for corporate showrooms, I feel that my passion and skills have allowed me the opportunity to bring specialized design talents to the homes and offices of local clients.  I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with each client individually, working closely with their needs to help them get from where they are, to where they w

Trish Morrow, Designer

The best part of working as a designer for California Closets is that I love collaborating with people to help them get their space just the way they envisioned it, or even better, grander than they could have possibly imagined.

Valerie Hoisington, Designer

 "Form follows function" is one of my favorite quotes by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, because as a designer, space in it's best use is a primary goal.  I look at each project and the surroundings it involves as a puzzle.  It is up to me with my knowledge and experience to help you facilitate the best use of that space, putting each piece into it's perfect place.
