About Me

I have been helping people pare down and organize their possessions nearly all my life. I started as a child by organizing my toy chest (My husband thinks this is hilarious, but it's true!) and moved on to the room of my high school best friend who was a very organized student, but had a very messy room. Since then, I've helped many family members, friends, and now clients sort through their things, determine what they really value and want to keep, and find simple, creative ways to store things neatly and in a way they can maintain with ease.

I look forward to helping you create a calm, organized space that will make your house a home.

What I Do

What I love about this work is that it allows me to be very hands on. Together, we will go through the items in the space we are organizing, sorting them according to what you wish to keep and what needs to be let go, and then we'll put it all back together in a new, easy-to-live-with order. Occasionally, I'll recommend that you buy an organizing tool such as a shelf, rack, or wall pocket, but often we can create new order with what you already have.

Although minimalism is in fashion right now, I never prescribe a certain look or specific number of possessions. While every space has its limits, I want you to be able to hold on to the things that are important to you. Some people prefer a space that is very pared down, while others love to live with lots of knick-knacks, family photos, antiques, and art objects. What's most important is that while we organize we create a space that is comfortable for you, easy for you to use, and reflects who you are.

My Story

I have worked in several different industries over the course of my career, most notably having been a milliner (hat maker) and the owner of a retail store selling hats and shoes. In my personal life, I am the mother of two girls and wife to a great husband who is an artist and college professor.
