About Us

Looking back, it all makes sense how I got to where I am today. Growing up in Vermont (until moving to San Antonio at age 13), I used to count everything that is countable, kept my room tidy, and organized my father and stepmother’s house every summer. But I also built fern forts in the spring and giant snow igloos in the winter and climbed trees to sketch and write poetry and sing. I was an A student, earned a fine arts degree, taught high school art, worked my way up from graphic artist to director at a software development company, and then ditched that very demanding job when I became a new mom and discovered what demanding really means.

Artist, dreamer, builder, teacher, manager, leader, and mom with perfectionism tendencies. These are all qualities and skills that actually make me a very good professional home organizer.

I founded The Spruce Goose in 2013 when my kids were in school, and I’ve gradually grown it into the successful small business it is today. One of my goals as a business owner has been to support women, even in my very tiny way. It has always troubled me that women who care for their families often struggle to find meaningful part or full-time work that nourishes them without being all-consuming. We need time to support and enjoy our families, but we also deserve opportunities outside the home that earn us money and feed our souls.

The Spruce Goose organizers bring peace to clients and their households by helping them pare down, create order and beauty, and make sense of their belongings, spaces, and minds. Guiding clients through this transformation is incredibly rewarding to us. And to strike that balance between work and home life, my team communicates their availability through a shared calendar, so they don’t have to work when they don’t want to. The goal is to make it a win-win-win for my employees, the business, and our clients.
