I love problem solving and doing puzzles. It is such a privilege to be invited into a home, identify my customer’s needs and then put together a plan I know they will love for years to come. I have worked for California Closets since the beginning of 2004, first as a Design Consultant, then Sales Manager and now for the past four plus years as the Design Trainer. I enjoy the process of helping new designers learn all the parts of being a successful California Closets Designer, from Space Planning to using the computer software to give their customers a feel for what their
Debra Leb, Design Consultant
I feel so fortunate to be able to utilize my skills and expertise in a way that makes a real difference in people’s lives. After spending 13 years in the fashion industry working as a Midwest Regional Merchandiser for Donna Karan, TSE Cashmere and Escada, I joined the design team at California Closets. Ever since, rather than merchandising clothes in the stores, I have been able to re-create personal space.
Kristy Lombardo, Design Consultant
From newlyweds building their first house together to closet veterans turning a spare bedroom into an amazing walk-in closet -- every space and every client is unique and has a story. That's what makes my job so enjoyable; I am able to meet so many different people and help restore organization in their lives. What I’m most proud of? Repeat and referral business. Above all else, I want you to be ecstatic with my service and California Closets. Just talk to any of my hundreds of clients -- many of whom have or would love to recommend working with me.
Pam Scalise, Design Consultant
My mission as a California Closets designer is to create spaces that are perfectly functional, aesthetically pleasing, and that are representative of each unique client’s organizational needs and character. Getting organized and eliminating clutter is a great way to reduce stress and ease the function of everyday life. With each consultation, I’m excited to be part helping my clients to accomplish that goal.
Crystal Schlinke, Design Consultant
Designing for California Closets allows me to do the things I love! I truly enjoy working with people to solve their unique space challenges and allowing them to live their lives with less chaos. Some may think of organization as a luxury but it is really a necessity to a productive, relaxed life! When I’m not helping organize your spaces I enjoy time with my family and feed my passion for home building through various remodeling projects.
