Nicola is our kick ass administrative assistant here at Closet Envy. She plays an integral part in helping the company, and your project run smoothly. Originally from the UK, you may be greeted by her British accent when calling our Closet Envy office.
Having previously worked in closet and kitchen planning at a notable Swedish retailer, she has a wealth of knowledge and experience and will help in any way she can. From scheduling consultations to handling invoices and everything in-between she stays organized and calm, and gets things done.
When not zipping around town in her Red Mini Cooper with it’s Union Jack mirrors (obviously) she enjoys relaxing at home with her husband and two sons and likes to visit the UK as much as she can to see family and friends back home.
Karla first came to Closet Envy as part of our amazing installation team. We (and her) all noticed her ability to connect with customer, and she eventually found her niche working as the glue between the Design and Operations teams in a Project Manager role.
Years working in Education equipped her with a meticulous attention to detail, strong organizational and effective communication skills that clients, and us, all depend on. She holds a certificate in enhanced general carpentry that gives her a solid grasp on the technical elements of projects, building construction, and having had hands-on experience in the field, enables her to identify potential challenges and implement proactive solutions.
In addition to ensuring jobs run smoothly from the first phone call to a happy customer at install time, she’s also known to wear many hats around the office. The short list includes; scheduling of jobs and coordinating supplier shipments, client support, business development activities and ongoing streamlining our computer system to let us be more efficient when working with customers. Her commitment to client satisfaction, and being the best at everything she does is one of the reasons Closet Envy is the leading custom closet and storage company in Southern Ontario. Gooooooo Karla!
She loves work! But outside of Closet Envy you can find her living by the beach in Niagara, hiking the escarpment, working on DIY & craft projects with her family or under a pile of books, she definitely, most certainly is going to read all of before she buys more!
Chilise Brimley is the newest member to the Closet Envy team. After earning her diploma in Interior Design at the Interior Design Institute, she entered the design world to explore her passion to transform rooms into beautifully designed functional spaces. As a mother of two young boys, she understands the importance of having a well organized and beautiful home, especially during these times where our homes are used now more than ever.
Shaun has been involved in the closet and storage industry in multiple capacities for over two decades. He started out working for a factory that manufactured closet and storage components. This inspired him to buy a garage organization business. Based on his experience at the factory, Shaun introduced closets into the company’s product mix. Closet Envy began this way in 2012, and has been creating beautiful storage spaces for homeowners in Burlington and surrounding communities since.
Shaun’s success in the storage business is unquestionable, and his pedigree includes:
Shaun has a softer side as a certified licensed wedding officiant, a role he takes very seriously. He has performed many beautiful ceremonies for couples in Burlington and surrounding cities. He also supports Habitat for Humanity with closets for homes being built by the organization. He also has one gorgeous boxer.
David has been in the closet business since 2011. He loves working with homeowners, listening to what they want, and creating something that is beautiful and functional for them. One of his favourite projects was a 150-year old home in Carlisle that needed a specialized solution to work with the older home’s sloping floors – it was a challenge and the client loved the results.
There isn’t a problem that David can’t solve for our clients, and his eye for detail and laser focus on what the customer wants results in designs that make our clients happy every time.
“I love meeting new people every day and creating solutions for people’s problems.”
Before starting in the storage industry, David worked for over seventeen years in the hospitality industry. This honed his customer service skills to the point that he can really get inside a customer’s head and clearly see what they want.
David is a Registered Storage Designer™ with the Association of Closet and Storage Professionals.
Greg oversees multiple crews every day on installations. He coordinates who is doing what each day, ensures each crew has exactly what they need, and puts the final finishing touches on each job himself.
Over fifteen years ago, he was working for another closet company with the current Closet Envy owner, Shaun. When Shaun struck out on his own to start Closet Envy, Greg joined him. It wasn’t very long before the two built Closet Envy into a successful enterprise that needed to hire more staff to meet demand.
Greg is devoted to music and has a big footprint in the local Burlington music scene. He has toured with bands all over the world, playing guitar and singing. One of his favourite current hobbies is arrowhead hunting, which he does all over Ontario in his free time.
Melissa has over 14 years of experience in the closet and storage cabinetry industry. With her background in sales and an education in Interior Design, she’s making her mark with Closet Envy clients as one of our lead designers. Her Interior Design credentials come from a 4-year program at Oakville’s Sheridan College, from which she graduated with honours.
She’s always had an interest in cabinetry, and her first job out of Sheridan was with a closet company where she hit the ground running. She worked there for five years until the company closed. She met Shaun, Closet Envy’s owner, while working in the industry and when the initial company she was working with closed she joined Shaun at Closet Envy.
“Life’s too short to be messy!” -Melissa
Melissa’s favourite jobs are redoing the whole home and doing marquee jobs such as a larger dressing room. “I design every space like it’s my own,” she says. She also enjoys the great working environment which Closet Envy fosters. “No company has the same working environment that we do. We all look out for each other, and everyone in the company is just as passionate as the designer.”
