Meet Your Home Organizer

The Start

A Seed is Planted

In grade school, I went on my first camping trip in a friend’s backyard. I woke up in the middle of the night, certain there was a wild animal outside. Terrified and convinced that even breathing would give me away, I eventually ran back to the safety of the house.

No one else was awake for hours, so I did what felt natural: I organized my friend's bedroom for fun. What began as a childhood way to deal with stress turned into a lifelong self-care practice. Back then, I didn’t yet realize how much an organized environment impacts our quality of life.

The Progression

Bud to Blossom

In 2013, I worked as a nanny for a professional couple who had everything except enough time. Their home was a constant reminder of a life moving too quickly to manage, so I started organizing to make the environment more functional. The result was immediate: the family experienced less stress before their day even began.

That lesson stayed with me when I transitioned into hospice caregiving. I once worked for a 97-year-old founder whose house was a masterclass in intentionality. She knew exactly where everything was, and her belongings played supporting roles in her life rather than acting as obstacles. Regardless of who I am serving, my purpose remains the same: to make home a place where you can find rest.

The Evolution

Spreading Seeds

My curiosity about intentional living grew into an obsession. I consumed everything I could find on various organizing methods, minimalism, Swedish Death Cleaning, and the KonMari Method®. When I moved to a new area, I connected with Lisa, an experienced home organizer sixty miles away, and joined her team. The hours spent commuting and working in different homes introduced me to the many reasons people hire organizers and the unique challenges they face. I learned that anyone can become organized with the right guidance. With Lisa’s encouragement, I founded Farewell Clutter Co.

The Foundation

My Philosophy

Our homes are mirrors, reflecting our internal state and how we move through the world. I believe organizing is an act of stewardship. It’s about caring for the things that support our lives so they can do their job well.

My goal is to help you own only what you need, love, and find beautiful. When you remove the excess, you reclaim the time and mental space to focus on the people and pursuits that truly matter.

Going through this process alone can be intimidating, which is why I created Farewell Clutter Co. — to help you build a better relationship between yourself, your belongings, and your home.
