>> My name is Sherry Hammond and I am a
design consultant for a closet company.

00:00:06.936 --> 00:00:13.456 A:middle
And I basically help people get organized,
create closet systems, whether it's closets,

00:00:13.456 --> 00:00:17.946 A:middle
pantries, laundry rooms, wine
cellars, offices, anything,

00:00:18.236 --> 00:00:19.986 A:middle
anything that they need for their project.

00:00:20.416 --> 00:00:25.956 A:middle
And basically a client will call us, and
at that point I will go out to their home,

00:00:26.486 --> 00:00:30.446 A:middle
look at their space, ask them
questions about what is needed,

00:00:30.756 --> 00:00:33.396 A:middle
whether it's a closet or a
laundry room or whatever.

00:00:33.676 --> 00:00:39.376 A:middle
Once I measure the space, inventory, take
all my notes, I'll create a design for them.

00:00:39.836 --> 00:00:43.486 A:middle
I have a computer and we use
Cabinet Vision programming.

00:00:43.936 --> 00:00:50.626 A:middle
And I basically draw out the walls, the floor
plan, the elevations, put in the obstacles,

00:00:50.736 --> 00:00:54.356 A:middle
the outlets, windows, doors,
all of that kind of stuff.

00:00:55.006 --> 00:01:01.336 A:middle
And from there, and, you know, with
reviewing my notes, I start placing the,

00:01:01.466 --> 00:01:08.146 A:middle
whether it's a desk unit, whether it's
a closet, whether it's a laundry room,

00:01:08.146 --> 00:01:13.426 A:middle
whatever needs to be done, I just start placing
it within the room in the program and that.

00:01:13.426 --> 00:01:18.006 A:middle
And then they'll be able to pick out
their products, their colors, drawer type,

00:01:18.056 --> 00:01:21.726 A:middle
door types, handles, all that kind of stuff.

00:01:21.726 --> 00:01:27.886 A:middle
And once they figure out their design, complete
that design, then we get the products ordered.

00:01:28.116 --> 00:01:34.436 A:middle
And usually withing about 4 weeks, we have a
team of installers that go out installing there.

00:01:34.896 --> 00:01:38.676 A:middle
I'm a little more hands on
than some designers have been.

00:01:38.676 --> 00:01:43.986 A:middle
I actually go out to the job sites a lot
to really see how everything is going in.

00:01:44.626 --> 00:01:50.416 A:middle
It could take anywhere, from a small closet,
it might take 3 or 4 hours, to a large closet,

00:01:50.416 --> 00:01:55.676 A:middle
big project, could take 3, 4, 5 days,
just depending on the size of the project.

00:01:56.076 --> 00:02:01.186 A:middle
And, you know, there's times I'm in and out
visiting them, just to kind of, you know,

00:02:01.306 --> 00:02:04.806 A:middle
see how things are going, making sure
the client's happy with everything.
