Your experienced and discreet Personal Organizer, Space Planning and Organizing Coach in the Pacific Northwest.
Whether you are restoring order to your home, office, business, or whether you are ready to implement a new system for the first time, you can count on me to be fast, efficient, and sensitive to your situation. My services are tailored to your need, personality and situation because I believe a custom solution works better than a “one size fits all” approach. I declutter anything that is overflowing or disorganized: home, office, garage, file cabinet, tax paperwork, computer files, business, closet, pantry, kitchen, bath, even your car or purse.  What sets me apart from other organizers is that I can either work independently or with you.

Professional Organizer & Personal Assistant - I do just about everything that overwhelms you... I am even a Notary Public!

Is your paperwork piling up?

Is your cluttered space nagging you?

Is your productivity down because you can't find things?

Do you have undesirable financial consequences because your files are disorganized or non-existent?

Embarrassed to invite people over?

Is the clutter causing stress in your relationship?

Haven’t seen the top of your dining room table in years?

Do you keep buying things because you can’t find the old ones?

Just think of the time and money it will save you to be organized.

I am available for just about any organizing you need done around the home or office. My specialty is working with what you’ve got, not selling you on expensive storage solutions. I keep my rates low because I want to be accessible to regular people. I carry inexpensive and effective bins and shelves in my car to expedite the process and keep your costs low. I work quickly and efficiently and eliminate distractions so you know you’re getting your money’s worth. My line of work requires flexibility, which is why I love what I do.

My background is in business administration and facilities management, so I can help you repair or install things as well as bring your paperwork up to date. I can set up a system to pay your bills, and manage your projects. If you need help with remodeling and turning your home or office into a better functioning space, call me. I have designed and installed Ikea kitchens and storage solutions. Why pay thousands for those expensive custom closet companies when more affordable solutions are available in Portland!

About me: I am a worldly woman with diverse interests and experiences. Having been raised in Germany, systems and procedures have been engrained into my brain. I have been doing Professional Organizing since I moved to Portland in early 2004 and have hundreds of satisfied clients: this is not a fly-by-night business for me! I am reliable and forthcoming, and I communicate, commit, and follow through. I am physically active and strong (lots of sports and yoga) so I can haul those boxes and climb those stairs. I'm a resourceful problem solver, and I know where to find the best deals for just about anything you need to purchase. I have a background in Social Sciences and understand challenges such as Attention Deficit Disorder, ADHD, OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), and other issues that keep you from focusing on getting organized. I understand the medical term “hoarder” and can work with your particular needs and limitations. I realize that people have different priorities and talents, and that everyone needs a solution tailored to them. I can provide references from satisfied clients. I live in a smoke-free and fragrance-free environment to accommodate my clients’ health needs. I love animals but prefer not to work in smoky places...

Some clients only need me a few hours, and some keep finding new things for me to work on. All clients notice a huge impact after just 3-4 hours of my work. Most home office files only take a few hours to organize. Just think of how much it will save you in late fees and grief! I will help you implement a clear and simple system that fits into your lifestyle and space. And if your life is too busy to keep up with a system or learn new habits, we can go on a Maintenance Program. There is no shame in this, sometimes life gets in the way of good intentions.

If you're not sure whether this is something you want to do, be assured there is no obligation. Call or email me and we can discuss your needs, I can tell you more about how I might help you. I have found that people can make decisions best when they've got someone to brainstorm with and that is part of the free consultation that I provide.
