We recently had our kitchen and baby room organized, and honestly it made a huge difference. The kitchen feels so much easier to use now — everything has a place, and I’m not constantly searching for things anymore. It just flows better day to day.
The baby room was the biggest help. With all the little items, it used to feel a bit overwhelming, but now it’s clean, organized, and super practical. Everything is easy to grab, which really helps during busy moments.
Ushma is easy to work with, understood what we needed, and didn’t overcomplicate things. The whole space just feels calmer and more manageable now. Definitely happy with the outcome.

Ushma is a detail oriented organizer who is extremely pleasant to work with. She organized my bathroom and kitchen cabinets and helped me declutter those areas. The end results are not only practical but also aesthetically pleasing. I will definitely hire Ushma again.
Hi Subha, it was lovely to work on your home! You were so fun to collaborate with and I hope you are enjoying the newly organized spaces. I’m looking forward to our next session in a few weeks!

Ushma was so effective, kind, and thorough. My room went from a stressful mess to a usable home sewing room. I will be recommending her to anyone I know who needs help cleaning.

Thank you! It was a delight to help you reclaim and organize your sewing room. I’m so glad you feel more at ease in the space now. I look forward to helping anyone else you know who needs a professional organizer to help streamline their home!

I really enjoyed working with Ushma to straighten out 2 major areas of my apartment and one minor area. Ushma was attentive to my vision, and sequencing of projects (I had to dial in to work for a couple hours during our scheduled time). She helped me work through my thinking of what to get rid of and what to donate, and I was really happy with the outcome! She is also a lovely person who is extremely professional in her work and communicates clearly on how to maximize spatial organization. I absolutely enjoyed beginning our session with a short 5 minute meditation to focus on vision and goals. I would absolutely hire her again.

I couldn’t recommend Aura-ganize more highly. Ushma is very kind, professional, does good work, and provides great ideas to create an organized space that’s aesthetically appealing as well as sensible and maintainable. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat. Trust her in your space and with your project - you won’t regret it.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate is $90/hour with a 4-hour minimum for in-person sessions. This covers both hands-on organizing time and the behind-the-scenes planning and research I do to ensure your space is set up to support your lifestyle.
For virtual organizing, the rate is $75/hour with a 1-hour minimum.
There are no hidden fees — I’m upfront about how time is used and what’s included. I also offer a free phone consultation to help you understand what kind of time commitment your project might need.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a quick phone or video call to talk through your space, your goals, and what’s been getting in the way. This helps me understand how to support you in a way that feels both effective and manageable.
After that, I typically ask you to share photos or do a video walkthrough so I can assess the space. I’ll guide you through what measurements I need, and I’ll take it from there — creating a plan and sourcing the right organizing products for your space. I’ll send you a shopping list so you can purchase items directly.
When we begin our hands-on session, I like to start with a short, grounding moment of mindfulness to help you feel focused and supported — especially if you're feeling overwhelmed. Then we’ll work together to declutter, organize, and create systems that work for how you live.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 20 years of experience in corporate America, including 15+ years at Marriott International's headquarters in roles spanning loyalty partnerships, distribution and operations, and brand project management. I’m highly experienced in managing complex projects and logistics — skills that directly translate to organizing homes and lives with care and precision.
I’m a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and hold an MBA, which means I bring not only structure and strategy, but also a thoughtful, client-focused approach to every project.
Organizing allows me to combine my love of structure with helping people create spaces that support their well-being.
