Introduction

My goal is to help you fall in love with your space, and find practical solutions for clearing the clutter and balancing your mind. I especially love to help folks reorganize following major surgery or health issue to ensure they are empowered to move around and use their space with ease as they did before. I have been organizing and designing interior spaces for my friends, family, and my own home for well over a decade, and recently decided to offer organizing and interior services more broadly while taking an extended break from my previous career. I have experience reorganizing closets, living rooms, kitchens, pantry areas, storage units, offices, and more! I can also do light installations of shelves, curtains, and wallpaper, and can make sure your bookshelves and other tall pieces of furniture are secured properly to your wall. I'm also happy to research and recommend specific products that will make your space flow with ease (no commission earned on recommendations.) Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. I look forward to connecting with you!

I was admitted to the hospital for back surgery in April, 2024. I live alone and I needed my home reorganized for safety as well as making meal prep easy. Caty came into my house while I was in the hospital and rearranged my bedroom to allow for safe ambulation to and from the bathroom. She installed grab bars in the bathroom showers and selected and installed specific adaptive equipment to make my bathroom needs safe and easy. When I arrived home, my house was clean and just made sense to me. The house felt open and allowed me to use my walker in every room. Caty continued to organize while I was recovering, as she knew that in a few days, I would be alone. She rearranged my cupboards and labeled each shelf. She moved the items in my refrigerator around to make them more accessible. The most functional task that Caty completed was organizing and cleaning my garage. She broke down the recycling boxes, swept the floors, and hung all my brooms and mops on the wall to make them easily accessible. She also made a safe and accessible walkway in the garage so that I could see and access everything. I will forever be grateful for my new favorite friend Caty. I believe she was Mary Poppins in a former life. It is October 2024, I am fully recovered and have kept my home exactly as Caty left it. I highly recommend Caty if you ever need your home to be reorganized.

Due to many breakdowns in my personal control of life, my office, got out of control. Caty was not just extra help, but was an extremely good organizer. She was able to create a smoothly running office by not just decluttering, she was a master at creating a boulevard of flow. Now I can be easily 3 times more efficient in my work. Thank you Caty for your help and insight to organizing an organization.

Moving can often feel like a whirlwind, leaving a trail of chaos in its wake. However, thanks to Caty, my experience transforming my new space into a sanctuary was nothing short of remarkable. From the outset, Caty was an incredible partner in navigating the complexities of my tumultuous move. With her unfailingly kind demeanor, patient approach, and thoughtful insights, she helped carve out a blissful order from what initially felt like overwhelming disorder. Caty's ability to communicate a clear vision was one of the standout aspects of our collaboration. She didn’t just impose her ideas; instead, she actively listened to my thoughts and preferences, seamlessly integrating them into her creative concepts. This thoughtful communication transformed our sessions into a true partnership, allowing me to express what was important to me and what I envisioned for my personal space. One of the most valuable aspects of working with Caty was her capacity to bring ideas to life immediately. She didn’t hesitate to roll up her sleeves and dive into the practical tasks that I often find daunting. From installing shelves to bolting heavy items securely to the walls, Caty’s hands-on skills saved me from the headache of hiring additional help. Her proactive attitude and expertise made it easy to execute what could have been stressful tasks, transforming them into seamless moments of creativity. Caty's wealth of knowledge in design is truly impressive. She offered a plethora of ideas that were not only aesthetically pleasing but also uniquely suited to my small city apartment. Her suggestions were always sensitively tailored to my budget, proving that great design doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. Whether it was maximizing storage in tight spaces or choosing colors that enhanced the natural light, her insights were invaluable. In essence, working with Caty was a game-changer for me. She provided not just a service but a thoughtful partnership that transformed my apartment into a space I genuinely love. If you’re looking to reclaim order from chaos, especially after a move, I wholeheartedly recommend Caty. Her blend of creativity, practical skills, and deep understanding of design can turn any space into a harmonious retreat. Thank you, Caty, for your incredible support and expertise!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
There's a lot of nuance to home organizing, and it's important to clearly understand your needs and lifestyle before jumping in to make changes. Otherwise we make changes that may not stick! As a result, I prefer to price my work by project vs. offering an hourly rate.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It's helpful to start our relationship with a quick 15-20 minute video call so that I can get a visual overview of the space, and ask questions about the current storage and organization solutions. From there, we will develop a plan to tackle the overall project.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've always felt drawn to organization. As a kid, my favorite chore was stacking the firewood outside because it felt so good to find the perfect place for each piece in a neat stack. I've learned how clutter and disorganization impacts my own mental health and life satisfaction, and love helping others find freedom from the chaos as well.
