FAQ
-
I became a professional organizer in the summer of 2019, and officially started my business in San Francisco later that year.
I moved to the Pittsburgh area in 2021 and re-established my business here in 2022.
-
So Simple Organization is an insured business.
Professional organizing is not a licensed profession in the state of Pennsylvania, so it is not possible for me to be "licensed".
I take my education and responsibilities to my clients seriously. I am a member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing professionals (NAPO) and hold my Level 1 Certificates in ADHD and Chronic Disorganization from the Institute for Challenging Disorganization.
-
I service Allegheny and Washington County in Pennsylvania. I will consider clients outside of these areas on a case-by-case basis; a travel fee may apply.
-
I offer both 1-on-1 organizing and also can bring in a team of organizers for larger or deadline-driven projects.

I totally understand feeling embarrassed about clutter, but I think you should feel good that you’re making a positive change and investing in yourself.
My promise is 100% confidential and judgment-free organizing services. My home isn't tidy all of the time either. Sometimes life gets hectic and things get cluttered.
-
It depends on many factors, including the level of clutter in your home and how you choose to approach the project (some clients want to work gradually, while others want to complete a project as quickly as possible.)
During your initial consultation, I will give you an estimate for time and cost.
-
During an in-person organizing session, I may work on:
Sorting and categorizing items in a space
Helping you decide which items to keep and let go of by asking questions and offering suggestions
Packaging items to be donated/removing donations
Organizing items in closets, drawers, pantries, or other storage spaces to be more easily accessible and/or aesthetically pleasing
Packing or unpacking boxes for moves
And much more!
-
It depends on your project and your preferences. Some clients want to be involved in every step of the process and work alongside the organizer. Others prefer only to be involved in the decision-making aspects and have the organizer execute the rest of the work independently. During your consultation, we’ll determine the level of involvement that works for you.
-
I do not specialize in working in environments with significant hoarding. I would be happy to refer you to an organizer who specializes in this kind of work.
-
So Simple Organization does not provide house cleaning. I may wipe down surfaces related to organizing (for example, dusting a shelf before placing items on that shelf), but I do not offer services that would typically be provided by a house cleaner. I can provide a referral to a cleaner if this is a service you need.
