OWNERS, INSPIRED CLOSETS HAWAII

Brent & Kamuela Potter

"As a family owned business we take great pride in our work and strive to set an example for our children to follow. Our local culture creates an awareness that everything we do impacts those around us. This sense of responsibility drives us as business owners and as designers. We’re passionate about what we do and we’re blessed to be able to do it together."

Welcome Signature
Welcome Portrait

In 2003 Kamuela was challenged by a friend to help her research local closet companies. This quest sparked an idea. As an executive at one of Hawaii’s leading retailers, Kamuela had been involved in planning and space utilization for new stores. This experience had prepared her for the road ahead. Together they dreamed that this idea could grow into a family-run business. Kamuela soon launched Organized Hawaii while Brent kept his day job. They were dreamers but they weren’t crazy! Their first client was the same friend that had sparked the original idea. With the help of some friends and a minivan borrowed from Brent’s parents they tackled their very first job. Fueled by word-of-mouth referrals, the company grew quickly over the next few years. In 2007, Brent and Kamuela were finally able to realize their dream of working together. In 2017, Organized Hawaii became known as Inspired Closets and is now the longest running closet company on Oahu. Our success is only possible because of an amazing team of employees. We’re proud to introduce them here.

Erik

Our Expert Design Team

Everything started with a question. In 2003, a friend asked Kamuela to help her research local closet companies. This quest sparked an idea. As an executive at one of Hawaii’s leading retailers, Kamuela had been involved in planning and space utilization for new stores. She saw a need for a home organization business in Hawaii and decided to start her own custom closet company. Her previous experience prepared her for the road ahead. Together with her husband Brent, they dreamed that this idea could grow into a family-run business.

Kamuela launched Organized Hawaii while Brent kept his day job. They were dreamers, but they weren’t crazy! Their first client was the same friend that had sparked the original idea. With the help of some friends and a minivan borrowed from Brent’s parents, they tackled their very first job. Fueled by word-of-mouth referrals, the company grew quickly over the next few years and, in 2007, Brent and Kamuela were finally able to realize their dream of working together. 

In 2017, Organized Hawaii changed its name to Inspired Closets, and it is now the longest running closet company on Oahu. Our success is only possible because of an amazing team of employees who live, work, and give back to the Hawaii community. We are kama’aina and we share the island with our clients. We love when we run into custom closet clients in Honolulu or the surrounding area. It’s amazing to see how far our Inspired Closet Hawaii family has grown over the years. 

We feel privileged when our former clients tell us how much they love their new custom closet or Murphy bed in their Hawaii home. Many of them return to us seeking our expertise to transform other problem areas in their spaces. In some cases, we work with our clients’ grown children who now have their own homes and needs. These clients are like ‘ohana to us, and we’re proud to be part of generations of families in Hawaii. We also appreciate when our clients refer their friends and family to us, because making connections and building relationships brings us so much joy and fulfilment. 

We are passionate people who care about your happiness and peace of mind. We understand that you are investing your hard-earned money in this project, and you might change your mind a time or two during the design process. That’s okay. We are patient people, and we want you to love your custom closet. Our experienced team has worked on thousands of closets by design around Hawaii, implementing creative solutions that maximize space. We would love to help you find a more organized way to live.
