How I Work

How do we get started? Every project is unique and I work with you to figure out how to reach your organizing goals. I usually do an initial consultation free of charge, either walking through your space or meeting off-site first if that feels more comfortable.

What kind of containers should I buy? Maybe none! I encourage people to sort through their things first. Then it is easier to see what solutions might make sense. Sometimes, after creative repurposing and more compact storage methods, people discover they already have everything they need.

Where are the before and after photos? I love a good before and after photo gallery. However, the kind of organizing that I do is personalized and personal. This is not always simple work for clients. Putting people at ease and gaining their trust comes first. Pictures are taken only at the client’s request and are for their use.

What kind of ideas inform your work? I believe I operate better when my outer life matches my deepest values. I want to help clients turn their external space into a truer reflection of what they most care about. When I organize my own house, I think about my faith, the Earth, my budget (thanks, YNAB!), my parenting philosophy, and my own version of what is fun and meaningful to use.
