Professional Organizer
Greater Boston Area
I have been a professional residential organizer for five years. I help clients sort through their stuff, and decide what stays and goes. I take donations away with me. I help clients choose where things should go for ease of use and maintenance, better utilize existing storage, and purchase storage systems when necessary. I work with clients to better understand their individual habits and preferences, so we can together craft techniques and schedules to keep their spaces neat and functional.
My educational goals are to become more experienced in the psychological side of organizing, and learn more about storage system installation.
Professionally, my main goal is to help more people transform their spaces in ways that support their own lives. In addition, I'm starting to combine forces with professionals in complimentary fields, like housecleaning and home repair. When I have more work than I can do myself, I'll expand my business to take on some employees.
I've done every room in the home: living room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom, bathroom, kid's room, home office, basement, garage, and attic.
I like to focus on organizing through the lenses of creativity, fun, frugality, and the environment.
I love working with creative/artistic types.

In my work as a professional organizer, I work with clients to improve their interactions with their belongings in a way that supports their lives. I help clients sort through their belongings, and guide them in the process of determining which things they need and which they don't. I remove donations. I help clients utilize their existing storage systems to hold their belongings in convenient and maintainable ways, and recommend the purchase of new systems/containers if necessary. I work with clients to help them gain new skills and habits to stay organized.
