About Susan

I’m on a mission to help my clients live with more ease.

My niche is paper.* I love it (and that’s why I’m good at it). I’ve organized garages, kitchens, closets, and kids’ rooms, but I always light up when paper overload is what needs attention.

From my years as an administrative assistant making executives look and feel organized, I know how to create systems that others can then follow. Keeping track of important details and sorting them as needed is something I really like to do, but I know many people who would rather [insert any other painful activity here].

As a member of the American Association of Daily Money Managers (AADMM), I stay connected with best practices and abide by their code of ethics. I’m also a member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO) since 2004.  Their code of ethics remains a touchstone in my practice with clients as well.

In organizing my own life, I make sure to include healthy food, dance and yoga, and time with friends and colleagues. I was the secretary of the board in 2014/15 and the treasurer of the board in 2015/16 for NAPO-SFBA, our association’s regional chapter. I also serve on the board of a conscious dance community (we run a fabulous summer camp, check it out).

I was born in New York, grew up in Florida, moved back to Manhattan, and then to the magical world of San Francisco. I live in Berkeley with in-house tech support, who also happens to be my wonderful and talented husband. I’m grateful every day for beauty and freedom in the Bay Area and in my life.
