Services

Does “getting organized” sound overwhelming? Why not think about tackling one small area at a time? It’s such a great feeling after you have one closet cleaned out, or the top of your desk organized, or your kitchen cabinets rearranged. It makes you feel successful and in control and at peace! Let me help bring you to that wonderful, calming feeling of being organized. See below for some of the ways I can help you with your home or office.

Whether you live in an apartment or rental house, or in your own home, I can improve your spaces in ways that you may have never thought of before. You would be surprised at how much even a small closet can be made more efficient. Making your closets and spaces work better for you can be a huge improvement to your quality of life.

Qualifications

I am a proud member of NAPO, the National Association of Professional Organizers, and NAPO Austin. When you hire a NAPO member like myself, you are hiring a skilled consultant with access to professional education and experience with the best organizing skills, strategies, and products.

Confidentiality

I follow the NAPO Code of Ethics, which means that all of my work with you is kept in strict confidentiality. You can trust that I will handle your belongings with care, respect, and discretion. For more information about my policies, please see my FAQ page.

Geographic area

Most of my clients are in Austin and the surrounding areas, including Lakeway, Buda, Kyle, Dripping Springs, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Manor, Elgin, and Georgetown. See below for information on “virtual” organizing anywhere!

Virtual Organizing

Would you like to have me look at your closets and spaces and come up with solutions, but you live far away? I also do consultations over the phone, via Skype and email. Please see the Contact page and tell me a little about your problem areas. A picture tells a thousand words, and this statement is never more true than in this kind of work. So, if you can send me photos of your space, or use Skype on your phone or computer, that will help me help you!

Rates

My rate is $50/hour or a set price for the project, depending on the length of time or complexity involved. Let’s get the most value out of your time with me. Most projects will require at least a three hour minimum block of time, so that we can get some organizing accomplished and you can see some results. I do offer packages for additional hours.

  • 3 hours = $150
  • 10 hours = $450
  • shelving installation = 30% of the cost of the materials

Some of the ways I can help you at home and at work:

Closets

Do your closets drive you crazy? Do they have wasted space in some areas, and not enough space in other areas? Are you not sure how many [black sweaters]/[white T-shirts]/[pairs of ankle boots] you have? Do you wish that you could get dressed faster in the morning?

Kitchen

Do you know if you are out of brown sugar or not? Do you have to do some digging to find your chili powder or those barbeque tongs? If you need your beverage pitcher or lasagna pan or meat thermometer, do you know where they are?

Garage

Are you unable to pull your car into your garage because there are too many things in the way? Do you have trouble finding a screwdriver when you need one? Do you wish that you had your garden tools accessible without reaching around boxes of other things?

Office

Do you know where your color printer cartridges are when your printer runs out of ink? Could a piece of incoming mail possibly be found in several different places around your house? Are there piles of papers on your dining room table that you have to move aside in order to eat dinner?

Miscellaneous

When it’s time to do laundry, do you know which clothes are clean and which clothes are dirty? Are your hobby supplies in several different rooms of the house? When you leave the house for work or school or to run errands, are you spending precious time looking for items you need to take with you?

Let me help.

I can come up with new solutions for your storage spaces, customized for you. I will ask you questions to find out your particular needs, because there is no one solution that works for everyone. Keeping your budget and available space in mind, I will help you choose the right products, custom design a solution for your space, remove existing shelving if necessary, and install or set up your new storage space for you. Along the way, I will help you make decisions about your things. You should be able to enjoy your possessions, not struggle with them.

You work hard. Let me make your home work harder for you.
