President, Inspired Closets Tacoma
Paul Valley
“When I was a teenager, I found joy in organizing our garage. I can still remember the satisfaction of a freshly swept, perfectly arranged space—it was like a breath of fresh air. That love for clean, uncluttered spaces has shaped my career, driving me to make organization my life’s work to help others create calm and order in their lives.
In 2001, I opened Organized Spaces, and over the years, our passion for helping clients get organized has only deepened. Whether you're overwhelmed by clutter or looking to revitalize a space, we’re here to make it happen. Organized Spaces was built on a foundation of quality, service, and creativity, and now, as Inspired Closets, we still maintain these values at the heart of everything we do. Let us bring your vision of a beautifully organized space to life.”

Kat Anderson
Designer
Kat’s experience with designing custom closets started back in 2006. When her son was young, she spent several years away from closets, traveling and working in Alaska, working in the Southwest as an Artist and Community Events Organizer for mural events, and working in Mexico serving as an Artist in Residence and volunteer coordinator at an eco-tourism venture. Kat came back to closets in 2019 and rekindled her love for custom design. She enjoys working collaboratively with clients to create designs, finding immense joy in watching them light up when they realize they can create a functional solution that fits their specific and unique needs.
When asked, “What inspires you?” Kat shares that she’s inspired by the intuitive flow of our process and seeing big picture, working on each project as if she’s putting together a puzzle, and the back and forth with clients that leads to a space they truly love. When she’s not designing closets, Kat is designing and building her own home from the ground up with her partner. She is also a published poet and muralist, enjoys photography and travel, and has her own business making handmade jewelry that she sells at the farmers market and in local stores.
