About
When you feel so overwhelmed by your home that you don't even want to go home or are embarrassed to open a certain room or your garage, then you know you're ready for some help from someone who will be compassionate, nonjudgmental, gentle, skilled and experienced.
Sometimes, when I first enter someone's home, they tell me they are embarrassed or ashamed. But there is nothing to be worried about because you're making a huge first step in seeking a pro to help you. After so many years, I've seen it all and your home won't be the worst!
My goal is to make you feel comfortable with the process, open to change, motivated and empowered again. And of course a home you can be proud of!
Every client always has an interesting story about how they came to need my services. I have worked with doctors, teachers, stay-at-home moms, business owners, and other professionals. And each one has taught me something about why they've gathered clutter or why they just don't have the energy or time or skill to tackle that closet, which has helped me become a better organizer.
The transformation from chaos and clutter to an organized, functional space is so rewarding and I can see how much it affects the home owner. They feel proud of their home again, they say their head feels clearer and their hearts calmer.
My favorite thing is when a closet door opens and things fall out! I just get giddy about it. Because I know what I can do with it and am excited to share my passion and knowledge. The messier the better, so the outcome is even greater.

Helped me organize after moving into a new space. It stayed organized since the day she helped. She brought some organizing things that she gracefully gifted and there were other organizing items that she brought that I purchased from her. Great experience, will book again.

I can’t recommend Catherine enough! She didn’t just organize; she solved problems beyond my requests. I gave her daily goals, and she independently tackled them—even selling a chair for $500 in a day! She assembledfurniture, installed closet organizers, hauled away all packing materials responsibly, dropped off Good Will items and even picked up closet hardware. If you need a resourceful, out-of-the-box organizer, who will preform beyound your expectation- hire her now!”

Absolutely the best money I have ever spent. My home was overwhelmed with years of clutter, and Catherine came in, with no judgement, just supportive help, and sorted, reorganized and discarded until my living spaces were clear and functional. Her services were life changing for my family and me. I highly recommend Catherine, she is literally amazing.

Catherine did a fantastic job getting my garage organized. She not only brought sanity into my garage space but made it into a cool place to look at. She helped me decide on what to keep and what to get rid off and helped disposing off the stuff properly. I really enjoyed working with her.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing structure is hourly since there are so many variables in every job. For example going through clothing is much quicker than papers. And sometimes its difficult to see exactly what is way back in the closet or inside drawers. But I work quickly and diligently because I love what I do. And included in my hourly rate, is a trip to a local donation center (as long as I can fit it into my big SUV!) with any of your unwanted items that are in good enough shape to be donated. If something needs to go to the dump, and it fits in my SUV, then dump fees will be applied.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I think a telephone conversation is a great start so we can go over your needs and expectations. We'll get to know each other a little bit and plan an in-home meeting.
There we'll take a look at the spaces that are needing attention and discuss what can be done and get an idea of what you'd like your space to look and feel like.
Once we agree to work together, then sometimes I just get started then and there. Other times, we arrange for another time to start.
The first thing I'll do is quickly sort items into likes, then you'll decide what you want and don't want. Once we've made donate, recycle, trash, keep piles, then I'll figure out a realistic and manageable way to organize what you're wanting to keep and put it away in a logical way with labels if needed. If containers are needed, then we'll work together in getting them purchased and installed.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have my degree from the University of Washington and worked at Nintendo for many years. There I found that I really loved finding solutions to streamline how we worked in our department. Purging filing cabinets, finding ways to use less paper, creating web based applications to make our communication better, and other ways for us to produce better results quicker.
After I had children, I began to very specifically organize my home. And then I started to organize my friends' homes when I visited them and it was suggested to me that I ought to become an organizer as my career!
Sometimes organization skills are just a natural knack some people have and others have to learn it. For me it is definitely a natural skill and learned from my mom! Plus, I function so much better when things are organized in my life. And my house does get a bit out of whack - I have 3 kids! - but since I have places for things and guidelines that I follow, I can easily put it back together. That is my goal for each of my clients.
