Clutter steals space, time, and peace of mind.
I help you get them back.
What I Do
Strategic Decluttering & Home Optimization
Room-by-room clarity, storage wins, and simple systems so your home works for how you actually live.
Pre-Move & Home-Sale Prep

From the Digital Marketer Turned Rethinker
I was fortunate to be at the forefront of the social media revolution. We launched our marketing agency in 2002, before giants like Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook entered the scene. Back then, Google was just another search engine, and while Amazon’s marketplace…
Clutternomics or the cost of holding on to things
