My goal is to get you feeling in sync with your environment. Together we'll establish systems which ring true to your habits and preferences, and which make tidying up easier and more enjoyable in the future.
Whether you’re seeking help decluttering, support in thinking through and executing your ideas, need help balancing an awkward space, or would like someone else to unpack you in your new home, I’m here to help.
[if you’re moving, use my code SPACECAKE at Piece of Cake movers for 10% off your move with them! ]
For some projects, everything we need is already in the home. For others, shelving etc must be acquired or built. I’m happy to do both Low Purchase Projects (we can fold reusable bags over to become shirt bins) or Full Fresh Projects (we can select smartly sized and matching bins and labels) or somewhere in between (do what we can, buy what we Must).
For projects needing custom builds, heavy installation, lighting install, etc I work closely with a reliable contractor.
MINIMUM SESSION:
3hrs if commenced with inquiry message,
5hrs if using AUTOBOOK feature
PROCESSES
For Clutter Detangling
For sorting out knots in your home we
- pick a zone to tackle first
- prune, purge, categorize
- organize what remains, put things away
- shop for or design whats missing (i’ll give you an exact, link-filled shopping list, or else a shopping guide with measurements and suggestions, or else drawings and management for custom shelving fabricated by a close collaborator)
- finish putting away when all has arrived
For Move Ins
To move you in, you can be as involved or detached as you prefer. We can either unpack and plan and shop collaboratively, or, you can give me just a broad overview of what you’re imagining, and then press “play” and get back to your other work while I set up your home. I can also help you on the packing side, to prune/purge/prepare for your move in. In addition to arranging and organizing, I can help you manage projects like lighting hardwiring, fabrication of custom built ins, etc, with the help of reliable, licensed contractor collaborators.
HISTORY
I've been organizing my friend’s rooms compulsively since the age of 12! This is an everlasting spatial fixation of mine, which in 2022 I've decided to professionalize. I have endless energy for and a deep delight in this kind of work, so I’ve put up a turbine where the wind was already blowing.
I have a Masters of Science in Social and Somatic Factors in Design, which is to say I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about and furniture and the social dynamics of space.
BUILDING
I work closely with a reliable contractor / handyman who is able to do electrical, heavy installation, shelving, custom closet install, etc. I'm also able on my own to install simple shelving, assemble furniture, move large furniture, and hang heavy pictures and mirrors.
EMOTIONS
I’m here for whatever emotions might arise in your clutterletting, your relinquishing of Stuff. Sometimes the process is easy, and the mere presence of an organizer makes letting go swift. Other times, the process is more involved, stirring up emotions, memories, and complicated feelings about what it means to let go. I'm here to meet your mode and accompany whatever this process is for you.
ERGODYNAMICS
My MS at Berkeley focused on ergodynamic design; design which helps rather than hinders circulation (social and physical). To this end I offer consultation and shopping guides for movement-oriented work and living spaces.
