I’m a quirky gal and you’ll probably find me marching to the beat of my own drum! A psychology buff, wine nerd, interior design enthusiast, and a sucker for a good conspiracy theory. Native to the East Bay, but a nomad at heart.
I’m thrilled to bring a fresh take to the world of professional organizing, and to share it with all of you!

Organized By Design is my company and my passion project. It’s really a vehicle that allows me to help others.
