William Sedlar

Born in Detroit, the Motor City, I carry a true Midwestern heart—rooted in service and a can-do attitude. After nearly 25 years in the Pacific Northwest, I proudly call it home. The natural beauty here—moss, driftwood, basalt, and coastal textures—deeply inspires my design aesthetic and personal palette. One of my greatest joys is driving through the Columbia Gorge at sunset, and Sauvie Island remains my sanctuary for meditation and creative inspiration. Like Frank Lloyd Wright, who drew from nature and Eastern influences, I infuse a sense of Zen into my work—transforming client challenges into peaceful, functional, and beautiful spaces that endure. As Portland’s unofficial welcome ambassador, I love curating experiences that blend food, music, architecture, and wine into unforgettable memories. My adventurous spirit extends to the stage—I’ve sung, played ukulele, and even performed magic everywhere from The Gong Show to Carnegie Hall. My background as a Waldorf school teacher honed my communication skills, enabling me to guide clients through the design process while helping them discover their own voice and vision. For over a decade, I’ve been proud to represent California Closets—the pioneer and leader in custom storage solutions—bringing our unique blend of practical magic into homes across the region.
