Introduction
I pride myself in thoroughly organizing a space while incorporating the client's personal style through repurposing existing materials. I bring a positive energy with no judgements, and the eagerness to tackle any project. Love when a space becomes efficient for the owner. When it brightens their day to walk in the room.

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!

Sandy was awesome! So grateful. I travel a lot for work and a space reset was just what we needed. Trustworthy, super efficient and with an eye for design. Our place now flows and feels at peace when I walk in the door. Thank you.

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!

Sandy transformed my space in a way I didn’t think was even possible. She restored my living room to an inviting space and made my guest bedroom multifunctional with a well thought out, organized space for my Poshmark business, a home gym and a cozy reading nook. Sandy kept us on track throughout the day, was an constant source of encouragement and helped me purge things that no longer served me. She even coordinated my donations for neighbors to pick up. She hung my pictures and put all of the finishing touches in place to make my apartment look just right. I encourage anyone struggling with clutter to call Sandy so she can help make your dreams come true! I just can’t tell you enough how much I love my space now! Inspired more than ever to keep it this way.
