Tamah is an accomplished professional with demonstrated experience in management, training + coaching, leadership + team building, organization + productivity, sales + marketing, as well as art + design. She has successfully worked with culturally and socially diverse groups and individuals. A natural evolution of her time in the corporate world, combined with her enthusiasm for creating beautiful spaces and helping others, Tamah established her own company in 2004 and has been following her passions ever since. Her unique combination of skills has provided her with the ability to support a wide range of individual and corporate clients.

Tamah has been a leader in the Organizing industry for almost 10 years. Previously serving on the board of directors for NAPO-SFBA (National Association of Professional Organizers SF Bay Area) she has been a NAPO Golden Circle member since 2009. Tamah has been quoted and interviewed for numerous print and online publications, with her work even appearing on the Oprah Winfrey Show while she and her team were doing a project with Peter Walsh.

She is currently focused on supporting others in creating a vibrant life. One that is beautiful, in harmony with nature, and filled with only what is important to them.

She accomplishes this by working with individuals, both in person and virtually, to assess their current habits, simplify their space and routines and create environments that reflect their true self while remaining in harmony with the environment.
