David McKim

ACSP Registered Closet & Storage Designer

David has been designing custom storage solutions since 2011, bringing a keen eye for detail, problem-solving skills, and a customer-first mindset to every project. He loves working with homeowners, truly listening to their needs, and creating designs that are both beautiful and highly functional.

One of his most memorable projects was a 150-year-old home in Carlisle, where he had to work around sloping floors and other quirks of an older home to create a seamless, modern storage solution. It was a challenge—but one he tackled head-on, and the client was thrilled with the results.

David is a Registered Storage Designer™ with the Association of Closet and Storage Professionals, a distinction that recognizes his expertise, commitment to excellence, and industry leadership—something he’s incredibly proud of.

Outside of work, David finds joy in kayaking, and spending time in nature. He’s also a proud father of two grown kids, and when he’s not designing dream spaces or working on a garage transformation, you’ll likely find him enjoying the great outdoors or whipping up something delicious in the kitchen.

Greg Taylor

Project Manager

Greg is the backbone of Closet Envy’s installation team, overseeing multiple crews each day to ensure every project runs smoothly. From coordinating schedules to making sure each team has exactly what they need, he’s the guy who keeps everything on track—and he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty, personally handling final finishing touches to make sure every job meets Closet Envy’s high standards.

With over 15 years of experience in the industry, Greg’s history with Closet Envy goes all the way back to the beginning. He and Shaun first worked together at another closet company before Shaun took the leap to start his own business. Greg soon joined him, helping grow Closet Envy from a small operation into the thriving company it is today.

Beyond closets, Greg has a deep love for music and has been a fixture in the Burlington music scene for years. He’s toured the world as a guitarist and vocalist, and when he’s not fine-tuning storage spaces, you might find him fine-tuning a setlist. In his free time, he has a rather unique hobby—arrowhead hunting, which takes him all over Ontario in search of hidden treasures from the past.

Karla

Project Manager

Karla wears many hats around the office, and somehow, she makes it all look easy. She handles job scheduling, supplier coordination, client support, business development, and even streamlining our systems to make working with Closet Envy as seamless as possible. Her dedication to customer satisfaction and drive to be the best at everything she does is part of what makes Closet Envy the leading custom closet and storage company in Southern Ontario. Gooooooo Karla!

She loves her work, but outside of Closet Envy, you’ll find her living by the beach in Niagara, hiking the escarpment, tackling DIY and craft projects with her family, or lost in a pile of books (which she will definitely, most certainly read before buying more… probably).
