FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First we usually set up a FREE Needs Assessment (up to one hour) at your location. Since this is often a highly personal process, you should be completely comfortable with who you hire. I provide this "no strings attached" opportunity to make sure we're right for each other. At the Needs Assessment, we look at the space, discuss your goals, talk through some ideas, and come up with a plan to achieve your goals. Should you decide to hire me, we set some work dates and read/sign an agreement. The actual work process is different for every client, since every personality and situation is unique.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been organizing professionally since 2011, but before that, I was a Director of Software Development, and my responsibilities included overseeing project managers, programmers, and artists; traveling and meeting clients, purchasing necessary equipment, and overseeing multiple projects simultaneously. I had to be very organized and good at dealing with people of all personalities and job levels. As an organizer, I love my work and continuously read books and take online courses to improve my skills. It's also my full time job, so every day I discover new and better ways to help people feel comfortable with editing their belongings, organize for beauty and function, and learn how to maintain their organized spaces.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I first worked for another professional organizer for a couple years. In 2013 I started The Spruce Goose.
