Owner & President, Inspired Closets Atlanta
John & Jennifer Thrailkill
"As a small local business, we’re proud to support the Atlanta area as we hire people to join our team and when we purchase goods and services from other local companies. When I’m not focused on the business, I love spending time with our two kids at their events, visiting great restaurants and food halls throughout the area, and taking in as much live music as possible. We also love a great afternoon on or near the Chattahoochee!”

I have spent 30 years in the custom closet business as a salesperson, trainer, and executive before taking the leap to open and own Inspired Closets Atlanta. I’m excited to bring a deep knowledge of how the process should work and a laser focus on the overall customer experience to the business. At Inspired Closets Atlanta, we promise to ensure that every customer we’re privileged enough to work with feels that their decision to partner with Inspired Closets is one of the best they’ve ever made. For me and my team, this means delivering an exceptional experience from the initial contact through to design, preparation, and the installation process, as well as in the years to come should anything ever arise that we can help with.

Ellie has a wide range of professional experience, including training animals for film and television and teaching Pilates. In February of 2026, she bought her first home and discovered a love for interior design and home organization. When the chance to work in the closet industry arose, it was too perfect of a match for Ellie to not jump at the opportunity! In her role at Inspired Closets, she loves being able to flex her creative muscles while helping others achieve their goals for their homes. Ellie is inspired by figuring out how to create a physical work/life balance in someone’s home, like creating a bespoke area dedicated to their hobbies.
Ellie is a huge animal lover. She’s been an avid equestrian from the age of seven, and she loves spending her free time riding or out at the barn. She also enjoys training and spending time with her dogs, and improving her husbandry with her snake. At one point, she even had a raccoon and two goats! Ellie also spends a lot of her free time doing home improvement projects. She’s currently in the process of painting the interior of her home and refinishing her kitchen cabinets.
