About Me.
My retirement in November 2019 from a 20+ year corporate career, including 14 years at Microsoft in technology sales, turned out to be perfectly timed. As I transitioned out of the corporate world, I began to develop what would soon become “Career 2.0” during the pandemic. In that time, I saw a tremendous need to help family and friends regain control of their homes, especially with the chaos that came from parents and kids working and learning remotely under one roof.
​
It was through this experience that I discovered an unexpected passion for professional organizing—something that brought a level of satisfaction I had never felt before, even with my fulfilling corporate career. Using my background in project management, organizational skills, and logistics, I quickly attracted a growing fan base that transformed into a thriving business.
​
Over the past year, I’ve found my true niche: luxury closet organizing and wardrobe transformations, with a focus on helping women rediscover their confidence through their wardrobes. Many of my clients came to me overwhelmed, with closets full of clothes but feeling like they had nothing to wear. I realized that what we wear profoundly affects how we feel and present ourselves to the world. Helping women create closets that empower them to step out feeling their best has become my true calling, blending my love for organizing with the joy of transforming lives through personal style.
​
This journey from a successful corporate career to launching my own business has been more rewarding than I ever imagined, and I’m thrilled to continue helping women elevate their closets and their confidence.

Vision Board Workshop
I specialize in Closet Transformation Vision Boards because they create the roadmap for editing and organizing a closet. As we grow and evolve, our tastes and preferences also change. It's natural to want our outward appearance to reflect who we are on the inside. Changing your personal style can be a way to show the world the new, improved version of yourself. Whether your style goals are to reflect personal growth, professional growth, or life changes, it doesn't need to be drastic or expensive. This workshop will develop your unique style so you can purge your overstuffed closet of old, dated items that do not fit or flatter, reinvent items you already own and figure out what key items your wardrobe needs that will elevate your style. The result? No more wasting money or time guessing what clothes will fit and flatter when you shop or losing favorite items in the crush of items you never wear. Any audience -- friends or colleagues, small or large -- can benefit from a Personal Style Vision Board. The workshop can be done online or in-person.
