I found Carolina’s services through the Thumbtack app. A few days later, she came over for a consultation. My husband and I had just moved into a new house, and at eight months pregnant, I desperately needed help unpacking and organizing our bedroom.
Carolina measured our closet and bathroom, then sent a list of recommended products from Amazon and The Container Store to purchase. She returned a few days later with her associate, and together they installed all of the storage solutions, unpacked every moving box, and neatly organized and labeled our clothing/shoes/seasonals in the closet, dresser, and new systems. She also took care of my en-suite bathroom—sorting and putting away all toiletries and beauty products.
What felt like a completely overwhelming task—became a fast, seamless experience. I never felt an ounce of judgment from her about our messy bedroom or some of my torn, well-loved clothes. She was compassionate, collaborative, and genuinely focused on creating a setup that would work for us long-term.

I am sooooo happy with my experience with Carolina. I wish she could do my whole apartment!!! She transformed my small apartment kitchen (which is open to the living room). As a mom of a 4 year old, I was really struggling with making the kitchen less cluttered so that I could cook with my daughter. Carolina not only decluttered my kitchen, but even came up with a little cabinet for my daughter to have access to her cups, bowls etc. She even thought of a little spot for snacks for her that she can get to herself. And, like a wizard she made everything I need in my kitchen actually fit in my kitchen! I was very impressed with the initial consultation where she measured cabinets, and sent me links to purchase products that would fit perfectly. On the day of the session, she exceeded my expectations. She was so efficient and considerate of my input. She transformed a storage rack into a pantry in my laundry room and implemented so many great ideas on the spot. Most of all, she was very kind and gentle about helping me get rid of things I didn’t need. She has a wonderful way of simply asking about how we use certain items… which makes it easier to either let the item go or keep them. She never made me feel bad about how crazy my kitchen was. And she made sure that the changes we made were something I could maintain. It is now 2 months after the session, and we have maintained the changes! No more cluttered counters!!! I would wholeheartedly recommend Carolina for homeorganizing. She is just amazing.

Carolina is efficient, creative, and all around wonderful. My husband and I just moved into our new apartment and I was overwhelmed with boxes and the fact that we had limited space for things. However, somehow Carolina found the space, I thought I was missing. She found a way help me purchase organization items that would fit on doors , and cabinets. I would hire Carolina over and over again, love my new system.

It was great working with Carolina. She was quick to reply to my request, very responsive, and flexible too. We organized my bedroom and kitchen. It looks great and it is so much easier to keep it organized! I'd definitely recommend her! She is also so professional and great to work with!

Carolina helped to transform my apartment from a mess to an attractive and highly functional space. When she first came, she immediately started organizing a very chaotic space and it instantly was 100% better. Over our several appointments, she helped shop and source furniture and also acted as a sounding board which helped me make the right decisions in purchasing items and putting my stuff in the proper place. She is a wealth of ideas and also has a lot of design experience so it was like working with an organizer and interior designer in one! She also came to my office and in a few hours completely organized that too - all in all, I would highly recommend her services.
