It’s artistic. I also taught art in college for many years. I bring both skills to my organizing business. Being highly creative, I’m a spacial thinker, I see outside the box and am fearless about helping you visualize solutions and the process of transformation. As a teacher, I’m adept at identifying your distinct needs and focus on creating solutions that you understand and am inspired by so you’re empowered and [...]

What happens after I contact you?

We have an introductory phone chat that gives us the chance to learn more about each other. This first consultation lasts about 15-30 minutes and it’s complimentary. Then, if it’s a mutual green light, we schedule your first session. If your project is small, for example, a closet, we simply jump in. If your project is large and/or open ended, your first session is an assessment. An assessment is a [...]

It depends on how straight forward it is. It also depends on your motivation to do your homework, your schedule and how often you need me. This interrelationship of factors often fluctuates with the events of your everyday life. It’s putting one foot in front of the other with a tool kit that balances setting priorities and doable goals with being open to unanticipated discoveries, ideas and adjustments.

What if it’s a large and complex project?

2018-03-02T20:32:05-06:00February 15th, 2018|0 Comments

After our initial phone chat, I meet with you for an assessment session in which we do a physical walk through and go over in detail what’s on your mind, your ideas, your goals and questions. Then I draw up a plan that includes a clear statement of mission, solutions, recommendations, priorities in clear doable steps, supply/shopping list, a timeline, and sometimes a 3-D floor-plan. It’s like your own manual. [...]

It’s for ethical and practical reasons. I’m looking, touching and moving your personal things that contain your memories. It’s delicate and personal work. All decisions are yours with my guidance and support, and all follow through is done with your review and approval. Anything less is a violation of your privacy and well-being. What is purged and how it is purged also applies to when we’re dealing with someone else’s [...]

How do you keep track of and bill hours?

2018-04-22T08:33:51-05:00February 15th, 2018|0 Comments

I keep a timesheet that I share with you at the end of each session. You confirm the hours we worked, sign off on them and then you pay me. If our work together includes my time off-site which is often sourcing, creating floor-plans, detailed instructions for your DIY, or errands, we discuss it beforehand, I only proceed with your knowledge and approval and we add it to the timesheet.
