Welcome! There is nothing I love more than seeing a space function for the people living in it. Whether it’s a kitchen, a playroom, a closet or even a desktop, I believe that when our belongings have a thoughtful home, we make more room for the life we want to live.
Sorted Spruce is a product of a long time love of organizing and a desire to help others find organizational systems that work for them through a judgement free, consultative, process. Learn more about me in my “How I Became A Professional Organizer” blog post.

My Organizing Philosophies
-
80/20
Ideally a storage space is made up of 80% thoughtfully organized items, with space for items to be easily accessed with room to grow.
-
If a space no longer works, change it.
Organizing is a thoughtful invest of time and easy to overthink. Instead, I try and determine how a space can serve life as it is, right now. As needs change, and they always do, so should the space.

Functional Ethical Design
Aesthetically pleasing, functional spaces are the goal of my organizational process. I also carefully consider the footprint of organizational solutions and seek to reuse, donate and dispose responsibly.
