About Us
Greetings! My name is Jennifer Ross, organizer, founder, and owner of The Spruce Goose, professional organizers.
As a young child growing up in Vermont I loved to organize and decorate my room. Once, I spent hours taping individual strands of Christmas tinsel along my window to make a decorative fringe. Luckily my aesthetics have matured since then!
After high school in San Antonio, I got a fine arts degree, worked as a high school art teacher and a graphic artist, and later became Director of Development at a multimedia company. I worked with Fortune 1000 companies, managing large projects in many fields with all kinds of people. The job required strong organizational skills, exceptional personal and communication skills, and a strong sense of aesthetics.
I married my high school sweetheart and we had a daughter. Soon after she was born, I left my career to care for her, and six years later we had a son. While working at home, I held various part time jobs. I was also a chairperson of the PTA, which is where I met a new home organizer, helped her set up her business, and then started organizing for her. Wow! It soon became clear that organizing was my calling, a perfect fit for me.
I started The Spruce Goose and have been a full time professional organizer for over 10 continuous years. My experiences as a student, a teacher, a designer, a business manager and a mom, provide me with the optimal skills to help lots of people make happier lives.
Everyone wants to know if my own house is organized. I would say that most of the time, it is. That’s just my thing. When I’m organized I feel more relaxed and in control of my life, and I enjoy the work of it.
I recognize that not everyone likes or has time to organize, but I know that an orderly environment decreases stress and increases happiness for the entire household, and THAT is a smart investment.
