The winning company was founded in 2011, and according to the press release “designs, manufactures and installs custom storage solutions in residential homes. A woman-owned business, the company focuses on organizing closets, pantries, offices, laundry rooms, garages, and additional spaces within the home.”

“Our mission is simple, to make people’s lives more organized and save them time,” said Lisa Carlquist, President and Master Storage Designer of Artisan Custom Closets, in the company’s awards application. “It has been quite the journey over the last 25 years in this industry watching people start out viewing custom closets as a luxury; now, most people see them as a necessity.”
