  • A recent project I loved was organizing the kitchen and pantry for a busy family with two young kids. Our goal was to create a functional, family-friendly space where the kids could easily find what they needed without help. We tackled the large walk-in pantry, decluttering and reorganizing it to hold a variety of items, and optimized every kitchen cupboard to make storage both practical and visually appealing. The goal was to make the space so inviting that Mom felt happy whenever she was in her kitchen.

    The project took about four days. In our initial meeting, my client shared her vision and showed me Pinterest boards to help guide the look. Since she was a busy mom, she preferred to let me handle most of the work. After sorting through everything, I identified what storage containers we’d need, took measurements, created a shopping list, and purchased the supplies. Finally, I set up and labeled everything, bringing her vision to life. The whole family was thrilled with the results!

  • I’ve always had a passion for organization and simplifying spaces, even way back in high school I started my own cleaning/tiding business to help provide additional support to the families I provided child care for. I always found joy in helping friends and family create organized spaces and I saw how much it improved their quality of life. My journey hasn’t been without its bumps though and it took me a long time to find my way to a professional organizing as a business. After facing a major personal challenge, I knew it was time to shift gears and follow my heart. I left my corporate role as a business coach and sales trainer to focus on what really mattered: simplifying my life and amplifying what brings joy. In 2018 I was inspired to start Swell Organizing (Sonnet Grant LLC) and dedicate myself to helping others find that same sense of calm and balance. I've loved every second of it - yes even the dirty ones!
