FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate is $60 per hour with a 4-hour minimum session, so home organizing projects start at $240. The initial consultation through Thumbtack, photos, or phone conversation is free. During this step, I review the space, listen to your goals, and provide a clear estimate before any work begins. Organizing products such as bins, hangers, baskets, labels, drawer dividers, containers or other accessories are not included in the service price and are purchased separately by the client. If needed, I can provide basic product recommendations and shopping links at no extra cost. In-person shopping, product pickup, or store trips are available only when agreed in advance and may be billed as additional service time. No hidden fees or surprises. You will always know what you are paying for before the project begins.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once I receive your message, I respond quickly and guide the conversation from the beginning, because most clients are not sure how to describe their project yet and that’s completely normal. My first step is to ask a few simple questions: What area do you want to organize? What problem are you trying to solve? What result are you hoping for? I also ask for a few photos of the space, because photos help me understand the project better. Once I understand the scope, I explain my approach. I review the space, analyze how it is currently being used, and create a practical plan based on your needs, available storage and daily routine. If products like bins, shelves, racks, or hangers would help, I can recommend options before we start. Pricing is $60 per hour, with a 4-hour minimum. The total depends on the size of the space, the amount of items, and the complexity of the project. I always give you a time estimate before confirming so you know what to expect. Before booking, I clearly explain what is included, what is not included, the deposit required to reserve the appointment, and the cancellation or rescheduling guidelines. I also confirm the appointment one day before the service. For most projects, everything is confirmed through Thumbtack before I arrive, including photos, scope, timeline, expectations, and booking details. My goal is that by the time I show up, we both know exactly what needs to be done, with no surprises.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a degree in Industrial Engineering and I’m also certified as a Trained Interior Planner through Things in Place. My engineering background gives me a systematic approach to every space. I analyze flow, functionality, storage layout, movement patterns, and safety before making decisions. I apply the same principles used to improve processes and workflows to homes and living spaces, creating solutions that are practical, logical, and easier to maintain. My Interior Planning training adds the human side of the work: how a space should feel, how it supports daily routines, and how to design systems that work for real life, not just for photos. Beyond my technical background, I also understand the personal side of home organization. I know how much it matters to feel calm, comfortable, and supported in your own home. For me, organizing is not just about making things look neat. It’s about building a system that makes daily life easier and helps your home work better for the people who live in it.
