FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is very reasonable (compared to other organizers) so that I can stay accessible to any client who needs help with organization. I charge $150+/hr as a restaurant consultant, so my price as an organizer is pretty low! Pricing varies on the project: It depends on how much stuff you have - the more stuff you have, the more time it takes. I'm pretty fast and efficient. I’ll organize as much as I can with the time. *** Payment/Security Deposit *** Payment must be paid upon the completion of each session. To prevent from unpaid fees for my service I provided, I might require $200 deposit at the beginning of the work (cash, Apple Pay, or Venmo). It will be used toward my fees upon the completion. *** Travel fee *** First 30 min is complementary. After that, $1/min. I can give you the cost at the beginning of session. *** Cancellation Fee *** If you cancel your appointment within 24 hours, I’ll charge you 4 hrs of my hourly rate. If you need to reschedule your appointment, please do so at least 24 hours in advance. *** Tool Costs *** It depends on how much you want to spend. Though you can easily spend $$$ for beautiful organization tools, I often find that many clients already have tools I can repurpose. I won’t buy stuff unless you really need it. I’m a savvy shopper and waste nothing. Organizing could be so effective with a small amount of money!

- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve been in the restaurant industry for +20 years and currently work as a restaurant consultant. Cleanliness, organization, functionality and efficiency are keys for success. I’ve cleaned up and organized shelvings and operational systems to make the businesses more efficient and profitable. My method worked every time! I love architecture, decor, home improvement and took courses for information organizing for website. Kon-Mari method is natural to me. I always think what is the most convenient and easiest system for the client so that he/she/they can function and maintain it easily. Being thoughtful to clients is something I was trained very well by Walt Disney Company and great skill in the organization business.
