Introduction: I pride myself in thoroughly organizing a space while incorporating the client's personal style through repurposing existing materials.

Have you ever looked in your closet and felt immediate overwhelm from the chaos inside? That was me! Then came Sandy… Sandy is an organizing wizard and helped me make my space functional. She has an amazing energy that makes the process fun and stress free! She also helped me find a local church where I could donate my unwanted items, which made the purging process so much easier! She was so helpful that I naturally had to hire her when I moved, too. 10/10 recommend!

I recently moved back to NYC for an intense, 24/7 position as an executive/personal assistant. After a tumultuous ~3 month search, all the while trying to adjust to the demands of this new job and dealing with a lot of turmoil in my personal life, I finally found the apartment of my dreams. Unfortunately, after moving in, I was living among unpacked boxes for over a month due to my lack of time and energy. I knew that I desperately needed the help and guidance of a professional organizer. I spoke with Sandy about the space, my concerns regarding the space/my belongings, and by the end of our conversation, my anxieties about my apartment had completely dispersed, I truly felt a great sense of relief. Sandy has an incredibly calming presence and she is someone who has mastered the art of hearing and LISTENING. Sandy reassured me that we were going to create my most ideal space AND we were going to have fun doing it!! I cannot speak highly enough of Sandy and would recommend Dear Mess to ANYONE in need of any space decluttering, wardrobe redesign, home organization, etc. Sandy's positive energy and passion for eco-conscious home organization is palpable and I guarantee you'll be overjoyed with her results!

If I could give a 10-Star review for Dear Mess, I would! As a doctor and a military officer my residence became overrun with office supplies, uniforms and gear. Sandy took the initiative to reorganize the most egregious areas first, hands on. My nightmare closet is now a pristine museum piece where visitors can place their coats and I can readily locate all my nap-sacks. Sandy not only got into the nitty-gritty of doing the organizing for me, but also provided me with really solid ideas for improving the ergonomics of the space. She thoughtfully gave suggestions for setting up a "home-office" area of the apartment and immediately sent me links to online stores for desk options. All in all, I'm really pleased with Sandy and look forward to our next work-session where I can get the home-office tightened up. Very professional, personable...........Sandy's beyond great!!

Sandy is simply the best. She helped us get our space ready for baby #2. The results were so relieving and helped clear mental and physical space to get excited and ready.

Sandy helped us with a huge purge before a cross-country move. She moves at the speed of light and figured out my own goals, and how to reach them, within the first few minutes. She has an unreal work ethic, and the whole time she seemed hyper focused on my organization/purge goals, it turned out she was multitasking to re-home every single item into hands that wanted them. I hired her for one day and wanted more more more so kept booking her til we were totally done. She is so skilled at finding the best community-based donation and sale sites, and at ramping up interest in curbed items. Almost nothing went into the garbage; literally a few photo negatives is all I can remember. All I want for Christmas is a day with Sandy, every single year!
