About Jane

Hi, I’m Jane. I’m a professional organizer and designer. There’s so much I can't wait to share with you about creating a home that’s a joy to live in.

Some people are born organizers – but not me. I was raised in a home where the chaos and mess were so severe I couldn’t even imagine inviting friends over. Growing up there involved spending a lot of time deciding that when I was finally on my own, I’d make sure to “have it all together.”

That… wasn’t exactly easy. It turns out that the learning process (and the unlearning process!) was going to take a while. But, like anything in life, when you stick to your mission, you can make anything happen.

And I did. I’ve spent more than 20 years helping people with design and organization projects – from fixing up apartments in the heart of Paris, to cabins in the redwood forests of Northern California, and everything in between. I’ve helped countless people reclaim their spaces. I’m a Certified KonMari Method® Consultant at the Platinum Level, and a consultant for The Container Store’s Contained Home Program. I have designed hundreds of closets!

So, yes – I’m a professional organizer and designer… but what I really am is your best friend in the “take back your space” department.

Because when you take your space back, you take your life back. 

I’ve been an organizer and designer for two decades. For years, I organized the "standard" way – closet by closet, room by room. But the normal way didn’t work for so many people. I loved the work, but I was always searching for a better way to help clients achieve a space they truly loved. 

And one day, I found it.

Marie Kondo + Me

I remember the day I first discovered Marie Kondo and her book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I was so excited I (literally) couldn’t sleep.

Her unique system for organization and decluttering (called the KonMari Method®) revolutionized the way I approached work with my clients. Suddenly, the hardest parts of getting (and staying !) organized became easy. Fun. Joyous. 

When I work with my own clients using the KonMari Method®, results happen faster and more easily as I help them learn the key principles of effortless organization. We declutter, and it is easy. We take back their spaces and create homes that truly, “spark joy.”

Eventually I was able to meet with Marie Kondo in person and ask her about studying the method. In 2016 I was invited to join one of the first U.S. groups of organizing consultants trained personally by Marie. I'm proud to say that I'm now a Platinum Status Certified KonMari Consultant (which means I have 900+ KonMari Method® hours under my organizing tool belt).

The title of Marie Kondo's book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing tells the truth:

“When you learn how to truly organize your space, your life really does change.” Marie Kondo
