I’ve been a lover of stuff since I first got my hands on the Sears and J.C. Penney’s toy catalogs. I used to spend hours organizing my beloved treasures. Not only did I love organizing my things, I became a pro packer when we moved a lot when I was young. As an adult, my organizing and project management skills helped me through many life transitions, including moving into the dorms, relocating from Iowa to Colorado, combining households with my husband, and maximizing living space in small quarters.  

 

My passion and skill for organizing was put to the test when my grandma passed away and we were tasked with the downsizing of her home. Overwhelmed and grieving, I summoned all of my organizational ability to make sense of the clutter, pack up beloved items, and minimize the excess.

 

After this endeavor, I realized I was not alone. In fact, I had the skills and compassion to help other families downsize and proactively plan for opportunities to declutter.  

 

In 2018, I created Tidy Butterfly as a way to document my decluttering journey and search for effective organizing solutions. Today, I am an experienced professional organizer and I can help you declutter, downsize and organize your home to reflect your journey.
