About
Your home should be a reflection of your story. My goal is to help you achieve that by providing practical organizing solutions and interior design that creates calm and tranquil spaces.
A professional organizer is a person who can help you organize any of the physical spaces in your life — a closet, a kitchen or home office. She (and it’s almost always a she) will offer support for decision-making, facilitate actions around removal of unwanted belongings, and set up systems, from shelving to labels, that help her clients establish order and clarity. (Jolie Kerr- NY Times)
What a professional organizer is not….a cleaning lady, laundress, or biohazard cleaning specialist.
What is Interior Redesign?
Similar to traditional interior decorating, but using your existing furnishings and accessories for most of your design, allowing you to easily transition your current style into something uniquely you.
I am IAPO certified in Professional Organizing and Interior Redesign.

Karla helped me narrow down my choices for flooring, backsplash, and paint colors for my small kitchen remodel. She brought samples that she thought would fit into what I was wanting to do and answered the many questions I had. I definitely recommend.

I highly recommend Markie & Mariah Designs for any decorating or organizing project for your home. Karla is super sweet and full of excellent advice and ideas. She and her husband are easy going and very pleasant to work with. I could not be happier with the redecorating projects she helped me with. Very fair pricing as well. Love them!!

Working with Markie and Mariah has been an amazing experience. The owner, Carla, is so punctual, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about her craft. I was completely overwhelmed by my items because I have little space upstairs. Carla came in and organized with so much joy and creativity, that it even became enjoyable for my partner and I!
With the help of Karla from Markie & Mariah Designs I’ve begun to really feel empowered about keeping my space and homeorganized. Karla has the expertise of vision and practical knowledge that I lack - I don’t just feel like she comes and organizes a room or a closet or a shelf, but a little part of my life. She also has given me tools to replicate her skills in other areas. I am overwhelmingly pleased with her work quality and professionalism. I have her on speed dial for all my design and organizational needs!! Highly recommend!!!
