PRESIDENT, INSPIRED CLOSETS Athens & Lake Oconee
Lori Dominey
"After living in the Athens area for about 20 years, I decided it was time to take my interest in home organization to the next level. About the same time, it was clear our area had a deep need for custom storage with just the right touch of interior design. So we launched Inspired Closets Athens in 2017 and haven't looked back since. I'm so glad you are here and we look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful showroom soon!"

Lori was born and raised in South Georgia but now calls Athens home. She has many years of experience in business management, but when deciding what path to take in her career, she recalls her husband’s question: “If you could do anything you wanted to do, with no risk of failure, what would it be?” Her response was to design custom closets. Fast-forward several years and that’s just what she is doing!
When asked, “What inspires you?” Lori tells us that she loves using her eye for detail to work with people to create beautiful, organized spaces. When she’s not designing custom closets, Lori enjoys traveling the world and spending time with her children, grandchildren, and dogs.
Jessica is an artist with a great eye for detail. She holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Georgia. As the daughter of a master woodworker, Jessica has been designing closets and furniture since childhood. Her love of organization and attention to detail combine to create beautiful and functional spaces for her clients. When Jessica is not designing she enjoys being outside with her husband and twin boys.
When asked. "What inspires you?" Jessica says, "I love that moment in the client's home when I visualize a solution and see how beautifully their space can transform."
Victoria brings extensive experience in interior design to her role at Inspired Closets, including years of running her own design business and experience working for a local custom cabinet company. Throughout her years in the industry, Victoria has learned she loves looking at the whole picture to create built-in, functional spaces that help fill a need. While many of our clients have overlapping needs or areas of dysfunction, rarely are any two projects the same. Victoria enjoys the challenge of designing spaces specific to the needs, wants, lifestyle, and budget of each and every individual.
When asked, “What inspires you?” Victoria says that, from a design perspective, she is inspired by architecture. She fell in love with Italian architecture when she attended a study abroad program in college, and she also loves Frank Lloyd Wright. During the day-to-day, Victoria is inspired by her two strong, adventurous daughters. Outside of work, she enjoys getting out and moving her body, whether that be at the gym, through yoga or Pilates, or going for a walk.
Meet Zoe, our awesome front office assistant! As a Watkinsville local, Zoe has fit seamlessly into our local team to schedule appointments, answer client questions, and support the design and warehouse teams. We have her to thank for keeping our showroom pretty day to day! Zoe’s parents have rich experience in home renovation, which, along with her adaptability and problem-solving skills, has helped her succeed in her role. Having grown up locally with her parents, two siblings, and their family pup, Zoe values strong connections and community.
When asked, “What inspires you?” Zoe says, “I love helping people! It brings me joy to know that I can do something to make someone’s day or life a little bit easier and better.” Outside of work, you might find Zoe reading, baking, or spending time with her family.
Our team wouldn’t run nearly as smoothly without our stellar Front Office Manager, Blaise! Born in the Steel City, Blaise has integrated into our Athens and Lake Oconee team by handling billing, accounts receivable, customer service, and human resources matters. Blaise’s background as an insurance agency owner prepared him to understand the goals of a small business and how to streamline operations in an HR role.
Blaise shares, “I’m inspired by our team members who grow in confidence and succeed in their roles every day. I love encouraging others and helping our team develop their professionalism and excellence.” When he’s not at work, you can find Blaise playing pickleball, golfing, playing card games, or staying active through exercise.
As our wonderful Director of Operations, Jimmy has ensured that everything has been running smoothly behind the scenes since 2020. For all our projects, he monitors scheduling and ordering, and supports the rest of our team wherever needed. While he enjoys many aspects of his role, Jimmy likes problem-solving and working with our amazing clients the most. His favorite space to work with are garages—Jimmy’s creative thinking helps him bring organized and efficient custom garage systems to life.
