An Insider Look at How a Professional Organizer Runs Her Day
[30 minute audio recording]
Stacia
Stacia is our handy organizer. With years of experience doing her own household repairs and projects, she is the go-to organizer for our clients who need furniture assembled, shelves installed, artwork and window treatments hung, and closet inserts built. She can give clients ideas on how to customize vertical space to add storage. She loves adding those final touches to a project, whether it’s in a garage or master bedroom.
She gained her experience raising 3 boys. Keeping their lives organized: their rooms, school supplies and backpacks, sports schedules and equipment, and after school activities shows that she knows what it takes to keep family life running smoothly.
She especially likes to work with people going through life transitions. Whether it’s seniors who are downsizing or kids who need to manage their busy academic and private lives.
Patti
Patti has been organizing her family since childhood. She believes that an organized life is a happy life.
In addition to being an organizer, Patti is a free-lance theater director, teacher and playwright. She co-founded the organization, ArtStream, and served as the founding Executive Director for ten years.
Patti loves working on large projects, making an immediate difference in a client’s space. She has personal experience staying organized during home renovations, having completely renovated her own home. She especially loves helping people get their paperwork and photos in order and can help you go digital.
Stacey
Stacey is a former elementary school teacher with a lifelong passion for organizing. She has two teenagers at home that keep her on her toes. Maintaining an organized home helps her run a smooth household.
Some of her favorite areas to recreate are kitchens, closets, and laundry rooms. She loves to see the transformation from beginning to end. She can bring the patience needed for some clients who require more time to process their organizing projects and can make any appointment fun.
Stacey works with our clients on the weekends. She is an assistant on large team organizing jobs like garages, storage rooms, and packing or unpacking for your move.
Sue
Sue is our numbers gal. She worked in the banking world as a young adult and managed her family’s finances while her husband served in the military for 25 years. She has always liked working with numbers and balancing accounts. Working for Basic Organization and keeping the books is another great way to keep things orderly.
Sue also has a creative side and does a lot of our visual marketing and social media for the team. She manages all types of administrative tasks that keep the “Basic” operation moving.
Sue has always been one to keep things organized and now that she is no longer on-the-move with the military, she still loves to keep things in their proper place.
