Services
My services range from organizing single, designated areas that need a bit of help to entire residential and commercial spaces. And when it comes to systems, processes and workflows, my expertise range from the micro to the macro. I truly believe there is a solution to every conundrum and a functional, beautiful design for every space.
One Space at a Time
Our lives are full of events and activities that require 'stuff' to accomplish our goals and enjoy the ride. Sometimes it's the attic, basement, garage, closet, or even entryway that becomes the dumping ground for the things we need. Unfortunately, when it's not designed to accommodate the needs of our family, the stuff bleeds into less desirable spaces and becomes the proverbial haystack when we need to find the sleeve of tennis balls we know we bought for our next USTA match. Let me help you evaluate the needs of your family, purge the items you've outgrown and design a space that makes getting to the next life event/activity a breeze. We'll work together to make the space truly customized for the unique needs of your family.
Organizing for a Move
I've had a lot of experience with the trials and tribulations of moving. Even with people that do not rise to the level of 'collector' status, it can be overwhelming to move a household, whether it be from apartment to apartment as a single person or a multi-family move with children and elderly parents in tow. But it's also the ideal opportunity to take stock of what is actually being used and what can be donated, gifted or, perhaps begrudgingly, recycled. I can help you sort through the piles, assess the space to which you are moving, and design solutions to make your new home, stylish, functional and comfortable. Let's make this your best move yet!
Organizing & Showcasing for Home Sales
While effective home organizing can always have a dramatic effect on our personal well-being, it can also have a dramatic effect on our financial well-being, especially when it comes time to sell. In order to compensate ourselves for the time, effort, love and expense we've put into making a house a home, it's important to present it in its best light and highlight all of its best features for the next potential homeowner. That's where good organization comes in! Together, we can determine what can be purged, packed and displayed for maximum impact on potential homebuyers. We want them to love your home as much as you have and not only give you top dollar but also be good stewards of the property for years to come.
Organizing a Home Office
Home office spaces can quickly become seemingly 'organized chaos' if simple organizing systems are not established that can be simply maintained. I can help you sort through the tax and utility bills from 1993 to identify the documents that actually need to be filed and establish a system that is comfortably sustainable. I can also find optimal ways to store the 'tools' you need to make your home office 'wheels' run smoothly. Let's make your office space not only functional for the way you intend to use it but appealing to your particular aesthetic tastes. A home office shouldn't choke you. It should facilitate getting done what needs to be done to spend your time doing what makes you joyful.
Organizing a 'brick and mortar' business
This type of organizing requires an underanding of not only how a single individual goes about their business on a daily basis but also how a team and, perhaps, even vendors and customers interact with a space. I can help you set up an environment that is functional for all 'participants' in the location and is inviting to those that matter most to the success of your business, your employees and customers. Let's make the rent you pay work for you!
Organizing Workflows and Systems for Professional Efficiency
My corporate colleagues used to not only poke fun at me for the way I kept my workspace organized but also for my particular bent for creating structure where none existed. While I staunchly agree that room for creativity is the lifeblood of any business, I have also seen first-hand how important workflows and systems are to ensure that creative space is maintained while ensuring consistent product quality. I have the expertise to design simple, manageable workflows and systems to make your team hum efficiently and effectively. You might even find them humming a little tune in the lunchroom. Well, that's my goal, anyway:)
