About

Since founding Dolly Organizing in 2015, I have worked with a variety of creative individuals to meet their unique needs.

A millennial Mary Poppins with a calm & sunny attitude, I love making this process feel achievable instead of terrifying. Outside of work, I have a passion for lowbrow reality TV, astrology memes, gin gimlets, and my pink apartment. Although I have worked with nearly every kind of client you can think of, I specialize in messy babes with an abundance of beautiful things. If you like to live by your own rules while your fancy lingerie stays packed in a suitcase, you’ll probably be my client for life.

Testimonials

“For the first time in months, I am at home in my room again. Dolly came over and, in a gentle and compassionate way, helped me sort through years of accumulated costumes, clothes and belongings. She was patient and kind, totally comfortable with tears, and I am now well on the way to sustainable organization.”

— ZAD, ARTIST

“Dolly is incredible because of her positive energy and focus. She had me make smart decisions quickly by helping me recognize what I value most and that letting go is easy and important.”

— ANNA, ACTRESS

“Dolly is a genius and a life changer. She is calm, sweet, smart, works quickly with you, and best of all, DOES NOT judge. I absolutely recommend her to everyone.”

— CHERRY, SINGER

“In a short time Dolly hauled out all my inbox garbage, arranged things neatly in folders so they were easy to find, tracked down important financial emails and, overall, took a load of stress off my shoulders.”

— GAL, BURLESQUE PERFORMER

“It can be tough to shed parts of your past, but it’s so much easier to commit to the task at hand with Dolly’s help. She helped me organize the items I wanted to keep, and was instrumental in making my move as smooth as possible!”

“So far I’ve had two wonderful experiences with Dolly. She’s super wise and, most importantly for me, such a lovely person that she makes stressful chores into fun occasions. Definitely engaging her again!”

Working with Dolly

I’m embarrassed by how bad my apartment has gotten. Will you judge me? Absolutely not, I’m here to help. It’s completely normal to feel embarrassment or shame about disorganization. 

What kind of people do you work with? I work with a wide variety of clients. My clients include everyone from doctors to drag queens to dominatrixes as well as artists, dancers, professors, actors, singers, lawyers, nurses, showgirls, architects, students, bartenders, designers, cam girls, bakers, salespeople, hair stylists, circus performers, writers, teachers, bankers, and more. All different kinds of people struggle with staying organized, you are not alone!

What is the process for booking you? We'll begin with a consultation to see if I’m a good fit for your particular project. If we decide to move forward, I’ll schedule an in-person session or we can continue working virtually.

How long does organizing take? It really depends. Each client, home, and project are different. I will work with you on creating a plan that meets your individual needs, goals, and budget. 

I’m preparing to move or just recently moved. Can you help me? Yes I can! Many of my clients contact me because they’re preparing for a move and need to purge their belongings to lighten the load, plan, and pack. Others just recently moved and need help figuring out how to set up their new place.

Are you going to tell people how messy I am or share my personal business? Never. This stays between us.

Are you going to tell me all my belongings are ugly and out of style and make me replace everything I own? Definitely not! I provide guidance, but every final decision is yours. You are the expert in what is important to YOU.

I have a friend or family member who desperately needs your services. Could I hire you on their behalf? Yes, I have had lots of clients treat their loved ones to an organizing session and I think it’s a lovely gift. However, I encourage you to talk about this with them beforehand to see if they’re interested.
