About
Are you tired of tripping over clutter and struggling to find what you need in your own home, but you don't want to sacrifice the vibrancy in your life? Is the constant messaging of "less is best" scaring you away from organizing?
Sounds like you need a Maximalist Mastermind in your life!
I'm passionate about creating comfortable spaces because I've been there! As a fellow organization struggler, I've spent years desperately reading every minimalist book and testing all the tricks in pursuit of cleaning my space, but it never felt quite right. Finally, it dawned on me - I'm not a minimalist, and that's okay! Now I strive to inspire others to identify and prune areas of their lives to leave ample space for the things they love most.

They did a truly exceptional job of packing my home for moving! Professional, punctual, friendly, and a great value for the service! I highly recommend them!
Kat was an absolute lifesaver during my move from the suburbs to a one-bedroom apartment in the city. She helped unload 10–15 large storage bags and took care of organizing my clothes, shoes, purses, jewelry, perfumes, and kitchen items. She even broke down all the boxes and prepared them for recycling—something I really appreciated living on the 25th floor. Kat was professional, efficient, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire process. Her pricing was more than fair for the level of service she provided. Thanks to her, my space feels calm, functional, and ready for this next chapter.
Kat did a wonderful job separating and organizing my holiday decorations into bins. I was pleased with the results.

Kat is such a kind and patient human. We have a good time while also getting things done, and she pushes me in every way possible. I have gotten rid of so much stuff. I never thought I would get rid of and my space is coming together! Highly recommend Kat!

FAQs
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've struggled with clutter myself and spent over 15 years absorbing media about organizing and maintaining clutter-free spaces. While working on my Bachelor's of Science in Psychology in 2012 I met my first hoarding household, and got to learn how they built up to that level of disorder. This family's openness to their past hardships and loss was pivotal to my understanding of disorder and shaped many of my approaches today. Because we were neighbors and I didn't judge their character based on their home, we fostered the trust necessary for them to accept my help when I offered to clean and organize their kitchen and dining areas free of charge. Financial difficulties restricted them from obtaining assistance previously, and their only alternative was calling a junk removal company that would have tossed away items indiscriminately. Their sincere appreciation for helping them regain control of their home was my spark to pursue organizing professionally.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Make sure to speak with any prospective organizers about what you envision and what organizing style works for you. As someone who's seen and attempted the endless minimalist design and container-focused systems, it's not always sustainable if that isn't what is best for your space.
Additionally, make sure you connect with whoever you choose. It's a vulnerable feeling to let a stranger into your spaces and see the clutter, and if you don't feel heard or comfortable with the professional organizer then it might not be a great fit.
