Meet the Smartly Organized Team

As owner and founder of Smartly Organized, Andrea has been helping discerning clients accomplish their organizing goals since 2010. She’s obsessed with your deadlines, loves to manage all the details, and gets great satisfaction making it all happen.

Having moved to eight houses between three states and Europe in the last 27 years, Kim is familiar with the challenges of moving and the emotions surrounding packing and unpacking. Those moves plus her years in the education field have helped her develop skills to work in an ever-changing environment and harnessed her powers for planning and keeping organized to keep life as stress-free as possible. Traveling with her son and husband, cooking for family and friends, and hiking keep her busy in her off hours.

Andréa comes to us with a background in film as a prop assistant and set decorator for small independent films. She loves interior design, especially repurposing furniture and decor to be both aesthetically pleasing and functional. One of 6 children (she’s a twin and also the only girl) she definitely learned her organizational skills from her parents. She has experience with autism and the special circumstances that creates in a family and how they function. She’s our dog whisperer, enjoys music, travel, and is our resident minimalist.

Having moved four times to three different countries in the last seven years, Priscilla is no stranger to piles of boxes and bubble wrap. With each move, she had the chance to hone her organizational skills finding the smartest place for all the things in each new home and learning to navigate each new location with her family. Mother to two teenage girls, she knows how quickly the mess can escalate in a household and will be happy to help you set up new systems so the whole family can enjoy (and maintain!) the freshly organized home.

Lisa joined the Smartly Organized team after transitioning from a 35-year career in early education and administration. She realized early on that staying organized is an integral part of an educator’s tool bag and allowed her to be efficient and flexible if the school day didn’t go as planned. Naturally, setting up playrooms, study areas, and creating routines for daily processes is her passion. Lisa is affectionately known as “McGyver” for her ability to problem solve and anticipate issues that may arise.

Debora’s background in fine art, specifically landscape oil painting, gives her a strong sense of visual harmony. She also brings practical problem-solving skills, which were honed while raising her four adult children. These unique skill sets make her a natural at visualizing and organizing all things home and hearth.

Julie had a 25+ year career in Advertising and had to be extremely organized to juggle a demanding job and a busy family of five with multiple sports and activities. She believes that clutter and excess can cause stress and anxiety (at least for her) so it is important to take the time to refresh and purge to keep areas tidy and visually appealing. She enjoys the challenge of creating smart and useful spaces to make areas work better for Smartly Organized clients.

Janet has come to organizing from an award-winning 25-year career in consumer product design and development. This experience gives her an excellent sense of three-dimensional space, useful in all aspects of organizing and staging. Years of managing complex projects has also given Janet strong computer design and spreadsheet skills, great for organizing information such as household inventories. She is also well-versed in cabinet-making and home renovation, able to dismantle/assemble furniture in record time. 

Voted “Most Organized” in 5th grade, Joanie has refined her skills through roles in production for TV and documentaries, as well as being a preschool teacher, nanny, and household manager. Now, as the administrative assistant at Smartly Organized, she brings strong time management, task prioritization, and an ability to connect well with others.

Her creativity and problem-solving help keep things running smoothly. Outside of work, she enjoys life with her husband, teenager, two Goldendoodles and loves all things Disney World.

Addison’s organizational expertise runs deep. As Andrea’s daughter she has been taught to organize since birth. A graduate of Tulane University she is now leveraging her skills as a marketing brand strategist working in NYC and loves to declutter, organize, and rearrange furniture at her own apartment. We’re lucky to have her join us occasionally on weekends to support our client projects and provide marketing and operations support behind the scenes for Smartly Organized.
