About Gayle:

Celebrating 15 years of organizing excellence in the Bay Area

I got the “organizing gene” in my family.  As a child growing up in Wisconsin, I was constantly rearranging the furniture in my bedroom and the clothes in my closets. My mother put me in charge of keeping our kitchen cabinets and refrigerator organized.  My favorite day of the week was shopping day because I got to put all the groceries neatly away.

While in college, I came to San Francisco for a summer and knew that one day I would be making the Bay Area my permanent home.  After graduating with a major in accounting, I moved here and started my working career in a large corporation. Several years later I decided to strike out on my own as a bookkeeping consultant. Whenever I started to work with new clients, I found my first task was to organize their work spaces, which usually led to them asking, “Can you do the rest of the office?”  

When one of my clients asked if I would organize their new home, I jumped at the opportunity.  At last I was able to use my organizing and design skills in a residential setting.   From this experience, I decided I would focus exclusively on organizing homes.   Residential relocations came on board as a natural part of helping my clients transform their home lives.  My favorite compliment is when clients say, “We could not have moved without you.”

Living in the Bay Area has allowed me to indulge my passion for food and cooking.  My culinary education includes the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco and the Culinary Institute of America in Napa.  Being in the kitchen is both my work and my favorite hobby! 

Who are my clients?

Busy singles           
Families            
Seniors            
People getting married, divorced or in other life transitions

My clients want me to bring a sense of order, comfort and beauty to their homes. An efficient home allows you time to focus on your family, friends, and business. Most importantly, it removes the feeling of being overwhelmed all the time.  

My greatest source of satisfaction is when I feel I have not only solved a problem or removed an area of struggle but have improved my client’s overall quality of life.   

I am one of the fortunate - I love going to work each day!
