About 

In my nearly ten years in real estate, I've come to realize that what truly excites me isn't just finding houses, but creating homes where people can really thrive. This revelation hit me even harder during the global pandemic, pushing me to use my skills to help others feel at home, no matter the circumstances.

Now, I see myself as more than just a real estate agent; I'm a guide, helping people turn their houses into havens. I believe a home should be a place of comfort and self-expression, where you can truly be yourself. That's why I focus on understanding each client's unique needs and dreams, so we can tailor-make spaces that feel just right.

Whether it's suggesting design touches, adjusting layouts for better flow, or completely reorganizing your home, I'm here to help people make the most of their living spaces. Your home is your space to unwind, rest, reset, let your creativity flow and let your true self shine. Let’s evolve your house into a home, together!

Here is my full story:

I remember the first time I designed my bedroom. I was 8 years old and I had a blue inflatable chair. This chair has lived in my mind since then - I dreamed of a room completely designed with inflatable furniture. This was 2000, when the colorful iMac G3 computers were around, so my vision included a pink desktop apple computer, but it was also inflatable. I set up my bedroom like a showroom. I displayed my favorite items on shelves, like they were for sale. I had a deck of tweety playing cards that were one of my prized possessions. I displayed the cards so you could see the front and the back of the card to show off the artwork. I was so proud of my bedroom.

In second grade, rather than paying attention in class, I built a world for a character that was on a lunch-able, she was wearing a helmet and had a skateboard. I remember making a whole house out of the cardboard lunch-able box and miscellaneous items from my desk at school. I used a ruler to make a ramp from one room to the other because she liked to skate every where she went. I created a couch of of paper and tape and drew all over the insides of the two rooms. Then I got in trouble for not doing the work I was supposed to be doing, and got a tally mark for 5 minutes on the wall during recess. This lead me to think that was I was doing was wrong, so I never did it again. 

Growing up, I would always paint my room in unique colors, (Thanks, mom & dad for letting me choose wild colors! My parents separated when I was 7, so I had two different rooms to decorate). I always kept my bedroom as a showroom, then I started to move into the kitchen. I loved organizing the pantry, pairing like items together so we knew where everything was. I think it made me feel like I had control over something.

In 2016 I became a real estate agent and increased my business year over year. 2019 was my best year yet, and then we were hit with the pandemic. At the time, I had a part time gig as a relocation agent, supporting international clients, typically moving from Amsterdam and Shanghai. I was let go from the position, which was a big source of my income. All of my personal clients were out on pause and the world came to a standstill.

We decided to head down to Florida where my partners’ family lives. I signed up for TaskRabbit, in hopes to make some money as a landscaper. I figured I could do something outside, and I love pulling weeds. I spent about 4 months working outside, raking leaves, cutting limbs and planting flowers. I am very grateful to have found a way to make it through that time. 

I decided to open my services on TaskRabbit to home organization and moving support. I booked tasks left and right. I had many steady clients and built a great resume on TaskRabbit. 

My first client  was downsizing from a 3,500 square foot home, to a 1,500 square foot townhome. I helped declutter and thoughtfully pack their belongings.  I organized their entire new home, from garage to bedroom. This project was a quick turn around, a total of 8 business days, including dropping off donations. 

That’s when I knew that helping others organize their space was my dream job. The gratitude and joy from the client lights my fire.

My second client had agoraphobia and OCD, and remember, this was during the pandemic, so we were cleaning anything and everything with wipes. This person was also very sentimental, so they had a lot of items they wanted to hold onto. Their home took 4 months to get it into a place where Medicare would be able to come in and support. I pride myself on being patient with others and do not push too far. It’s important to take the time to make changes feel comfortable.

My third client was an estate, whose family lived out of state. We met at the condo, discussed the project and they returned home. I organized the belongings into sensible donations, items for sale and items to discard.  I was not from the area, but I took the time to research local organizations to donate goods. Donating items to organizations other than goodwill is very important to me. I helped sell the items and gave a fair percent of the proceeds to the family. It was rewarding to support this family after the loss of a loved one.

After completing over 50 projects through TaskRabbit, it was time for us to move back to Portland. I took a job in the corporate world to support myself, then was laid off 2 1/2 years after being hired. While reflecting during my severance time, I realized that organization is my calling. Creating functional space is so rewarding and I get so much joy from transforming a house into a home.
