I am a queer, nonbinary (they/them) public librarian with a passion for helping people create systems that work for them.
I am a builder, swimmer, camper, reader with an open and friendly manner, interested in learning about you and your stuff! I will appreciate getting to know the challenges you face and the strategies that have worked for you in the past.
My holistic approach considers not only general best practices, but also how you live, plan and arrange your life, all with the aim to help you identify your strengths and play to them in the organizational process. I will bring my organizational expertise to the table, and together we can create systems and solutions that suits your habits and needs.
My organizational experience is wide-ranging, from building digital databases and physical filing systems, to arranging furniture and personal belongings, and building custom solutions with my design and woodworking background.
I am interested in working out pricing with clients according to your means. My goal is for my services to be widely accessible to folks with varying financial resources. Based in Brooklyn, NY, I am available both in-person and remotely.
