Philosophy:

I try to keep our approach simple and practical. I think logically and want things to make sense for you. You will not have products pushed on you or have hours pile up without progress. Organization and redesign is my specialty, and I like to implement low- or no-cost solutions. It's not about bins and gadgets. It's about being realistic for how you live and work.

I have worked with a vast variety of clients, homes, businesses and situations that nothing fazes me -- do not worry that I will judge you or your space. I come simply to help you get what you want done. Maybe you want me to come in and make it all organized. Or perhaps you are willing to learn organizing skills so you can maintain order on your own. It may be that you have one project to tackle or the whole house or office. It's up to you.

From a client: "Patty is efficient, helpful, and insightful. She has great ideas for best space-use and helpful suggestions on arrangement and color schemes." -- S., Plymouth
