“I am serving as the head designer for the home organization line (Inspired Closets) for our 3 locations; Omaha, Lincoln and Des Moines. This line does anything from simple reach in closets to larger, more luxurious master closets, walk-in pantries, and garage systems. I never thought I would be in this line of work, I did not even know it was a very popular/high demand product to consider in home design. People put a lot of money into a very well thought out organization system. Being somewhat of a neat freak myself, I took this on full force during my internship and have found my calling! I love what I do and wouldn't change it for anything. CKF is an amazing company to work for. "
