My dad and I always had big dreams to start a company together, we eventually got there but it took a lot of hard work and dedication. Before Quality Closets Designs, I was working at Target but the opportunities at Target were not enticing, and I knew I could achieve more. I left Target and started working as a helper in another closet company. I quickly became the best helper in optimizing the process to easily help the installer. Being the best at assisting people was something that I learned from my mother, she was a huge influence to me and gave me great work ethics.

I had my daughter in 2007, it was then when my cousin told me about the opportunity to have my own business in the closet world by buying second-hand machines. I was a little skeptical at first, but thankfully my dad went ahead and bought them. He had a business vision that he knew we could accomplish. While this was happening, I was still working at another company at the time, so my father had to wait for me to cut material. My dad was working independently and looking for clients on his own.

In 2008 I decided to quit my job and fully focus on helping my dad to make something out of this business. My dad bought a house in 2008, and a little bit after that he decided to go back to Peru for a while, it was then when I took over and kept the business going.

My dad came back from Peru and he saw how I had optimized and improved the business. He was very proud of me and knew the business was in good hands. I got some financial support from the bank and used that to buy new machines, facilitate some processes, and improve the business.

Today, the company is on solid ground, we’re continuously trying to improve ourselves, and the best part is that I am now making opportunities for people, who just like me came looking for a better future.
