I started a cleaning “business” when I was only 10 years old. Why? I wanted to make my neighbor’s homes nicer. If they were clean, they were orderly. If they were messy, I could make them more beautiful.

My Mom and Grandmothers were great homemakers and I take my cues from the strong women in my family. They worked, went to law school, cooked, baked, sewed, knitted, cleaned, played the piano, danced, took painting lessons and loved to entertain. Not knowing what my career would be in the future, I did not yet know organizing was a real occupation. (And it would not be until 1986 that NAPO -National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals- was formed). I became a member in 2025.

Fast forward into adulthood, I got a degree in Fashion Merchandising and Design and worked for women’s clothing companies as a sales executive in wholesale divisions. In these roles, I worked with the design and merchandising departments to make the best possible collection to sell.

Later I went back to my earlier passion and worked for an amazing moving company based in California. They were a type of moving company whose super-power was state-of-the-art, bespoke organizing. I learned everything from them. I am grateful to all of them for taking me on.

I was lucky to work in beautiful homes in Silicon Valley, Marin and San Francisco, organizing in some of the nicest properties in the Bay Area. My husband took a job in London and my dreams were put on hold. We are now back in the US and I can follow my passion. This is my dream come true:  spaces done right.
