A counter cultural approach to organizing.
Those picture perfect Pinterest posts we all save to our “future home” board? They’re missing something… the cup of water by the sink that you sip on throughout the day, the book sitting on your bedside table that you’ve slowly been chipping away at, the rotating pile of shoes by the door that people leave for cleanliness or convenience, and the key bowl that sits nearby and acts as a catch-all after a long day.
Society would have us believe that our worth is found in our ability to reflect back the status quo to a critical audience who’s default setting rests at “comparison.” A home should be minimalistic, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing, right?
What if the lens shifted to focus on what your home 
could be? What if your home invited you to rest instead of to perform? What if the (ever-changing) status quo were rendered meaningless and the perceived critical audience fell away, replaced by a beautiful sense of contentment? What if it is possible to invite YOU back into your home?
In my experience as a human and professional organizer, I’ve learned that people are DIFFERENT.
My client with three kids, a podcast, and a demanding full-time job couldn’t care less about the frills of the latest interior design trends. She doesn’t need art on the walls or fancy furniture to feel like her home sparks joy for her. She needed to reduce the volume of things she owned so that the systems she had in place became more manageable with her schedule, making her feel productive and purposeful.
In contrast, my client whose husband passed in recent years was looking to breathe new life into the home they shared for 30+ years by completing a KonMari tidying festival— keeping only the things that inspired “freedom, joy, and endless possibilities,”— and introducing fun new pieces to refresh her space and her lifestyle. She finally moved her workspace from the kitchen counter (the temporary work zone she occupied to be available to her ailing husband while running her own business) into a spare room that doubles as an office and home gym so she can take care of her business and her body!
And then there’s my 70-year old client with ADHD who refuses to let his habits define him and has trusted me to help him create new systems to put his home in order so he can host and share his culture with pride.
All of these wonderful people have unique stories and distinct preferences that bleed into the heartbeat of their homes. It was when they decided to fully embrace those things that the transformative magic of tidying swept in, empowering them to showcase the beauty in authenticity to themselves and to me.
