About
As an Organizing Professional for 8 years, I will help you declutter and re-organize your household spaces or offices.
Note: First time clients should book 7 days in advance of when your project needs to be started.
My approach focuses on organizing that prioritizes the specific needs of my clients.
I'm resourceful so I can adjust to various budgets clients are willing to spend toward organizing, depending on whether a space is temporary or if they're looking for long lasting solutions. I've repurposed items clients already have and I've also fully transformed spaces by researching furniture/organizing items to prevent future clutter.
I can also help in the process of moving, by pre-organizing items in the packing process to make moving into a new clean space easier (often moving companies just throw items mixed into boxes making unpacking a hassle).
I believe in: Trying to clearly understand my clients wants/preferences, while also teaching them how to be more organized and less cluttered, so there is real transformation.

Elaine was very responsive, professional and did a great job organizing our kitchen and bedroom closet. She gave helpful suggestions before she came and even afterwards as well! She was absolutely lovely to work with and we will definitely use her again. Do not hesitate to book Elaine!!

Ella was so easy to work with, and helped me create a full reset to my messy room. She asked me about my life to help me determine what categories I should organize my things into, and helped me shape the space into the perfect spot for me. My roommate and I will absolutely bring her back to help us re-imagine the living room!

I hired Elaine for my daughter’s studio and she did an amazing Job!!! From my daughter: “I have a studio apartment with limited space, and Elaine did a fantastic job re-organizing my two closets (clothes and pantry). She came up with clever ways to place items so that I can actually see everything I own. I now know where all my clothes and pantry items are! Thanks Elaine!

Elaine did an amazing job with decluttering my daughter's room for a paint job scheduled for the upcoming day. She was very patient with me as I was sorting and organizing. But most of all, everything was cleared out of the way. She offered resources for closet organization and systems. I Looking forward to her coming back to organize the space.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
If the project is a long term project and/or several session days that are over 8 hrs you may be offered a cheaper hourly charge (depending on the project difficulty). Off duty hours, I offer research for items for organizing free for all clients.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to discuss the details of a project with clients over the phone or in person, find out their expectations, then explain my ideas on how I can best help. Then I'll either start the process of easier spaces to organize alone or we'll work as a team to tackle decluttering a large area depending on the project expectations. In some cases I will recommend purchasing items before a project starts/continues or I will assign homework of going through items if a space is in serious disarray.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've had visual merchandising experience with Urban Outfitters and Express and a performing arts degree, which has definitely inspired my artistic eye for the visual part organizing (which is in it's own way interior design).
