Shad Peterson is President of Closet Factory Chicago North, leading a team that designs, manufactures, and installs custom-created organization solutions for homes and offices. A transformational leader and executive, Peterson is passionate about helping organizations evolve to their next level.

What does your company pride itself on? Delivering share-worthy service—on time, on budget, and with flawless design, craftsmanship, and installation.

What sets you apart from your competition? Everything we design, build, and install is one of a kind. No two people are identical, and neither are their organizational needs. Our team is well versed in design, interior decorating, space planning, materials, ergonomics, finishes, and construction.

Past trends you’d like to see return? Wall beds and multiuse space is now back in style. With so many working from home or educating children from home, giving one room multiple purposes has never been more necessary.

Trends on the horizon? Organization matters. Organization creates more time, space, and peace for people. This will continue to have relevance and continue to become more of a priority.

Best advice you’ve given? Keep your promises and always meet deadlines or communicate in advance. There should be no surprises within our team and with our customers.

Inspired by? A passion to build and continuously improve. I always ask, “How can we continue to do it better? How do we add joy, excitement, happiness within every solution we craft?”

Favorite mantra? The best never rest.
