Making low-effort, high-impact transformations
Home organizer. Systemic home organizer. Strategic home organizer. These are just a few of the ways I have been trying to describe what it is I do, but none of them quiiiite fit as precisely as I liked. So I'm floating "Functional Home Stylist." Subject to change.
What I do as a functional home stylist: I make your space beautiful, ordered, functional, and ergonomic to your temperament/workstyle/preferences, using mostly the raw materials in your home. Think, "easy, affordable home makeover you can do in a few hours on a Saturday, but changes the way you live in your home." Think, "that friend you have who comes over and moves your furniture around for funsies, but makes your living room look twice as big and way better, and now your family actually hangs out in it instead of it being a pass-through room."
It's low-effort, high-impact transformation.
I solve problems like:
Your home layout feels awkward but you don't know why
Certain areas of your home drive you crazy and you don't know how to fix them
There are things you are LITERALLY bumping up against
You feel like you’re always cleaning up yet still find piles of things in the same spots
You and your partner have opposite inclinations about how to keep house
You have an idea of how you want to be living but don’t know how get there
What I don't do as a functional home stylist: I don't sort sock drawers. Except my own and occasionally my kid's when I. Just. Can't. Stand. It. Anymore. Sorrynotsorry.
“Amelia is genius at bringing out the best in spaces. She’ll take what you have and give you ideas to arrange it in clever ways that optimize beauty and function. You have no idea how much better your space can be, and in turn, how much better your life will be with spaces that support it! ”
I want you to feel at home in your home
I want you to feel like your space brings out the behaviors you want to see in your family (Want to limit screen time? Don’t have the TV front and center in your space!)
I want you to feel like all of your work spaces are efficient (Are your tools nearby or do you keep having to get up to get something?)
I want your space to accurately reflect how you live (Will everyone *actually* walk across the room to put their coats in the closet, or do you need some hooks near the door?)
I want your space to feel beautiful (Do your rooms and the big items in it follow the “golden ratio” of proportion [2:3]?)
I want you and your family to have ways to communicate with each other about how to keep your space (Take my Housekeeping Temperament assessment and gain insight into WHY you/your partner operate(s) the way you do at home!)
Because when your home feels this way—in all these ways combined—you feel hopeful. You have energy. You feel inspired. You are productive—you and your family are able to do the work you were meant to do in the world.
“Amelia is an extremely gifted room organizer! She took me from a paralyzing feeling of overwhelm to inspired and excited to be unpacking, clearing and setting up my room—in under 60 minutes! This has been a powerful spark of transformation in my life—I’m ever grateful.”

“Amelia assessed my needs and how I like to work, then transformed my space to fit me exactly. My ability to go from sleeping, eating, cleaning, working, relaxing, meditating in my tiny studio apartment is SEAMLESS. I find myself having more energy as soon as I come home and energy as soon as I wake up, which I never had before. This is the power of functional, useful, and beautiful place.”
“Amelia is incredible. She came into my home and literally transformed it within one session! Her ability to hear my needs and fashion an entirely new and productive space using most of what I already had was so amazing to watch! I had one room and she effortlessly turned it into two. Her mind works in ways mine just doesn’t and she’s a space alchemist!!!”
What is your Housekeeping Temperament?
Know your temperament, change your habits
Do you ever wonder why it seems so easy for some people to keep their house in order, while others really struggle with it? Or why some people NEED to have their shoes sorted alphabetically by brand, while others barely notice the walls are beige? (Or that there are walls?)
IT'S BECAUSE OF YOUR TEMPERAMENT! Your temperament is the set of characteristics you were born with and it explains how you naturally move through the world—including how you operate at home.
What does temperament have to do with your constantly cluttered counter? Or your mouth-frothing need to keep the floor free from shmootz at all times? Or—oh let's get into it!—your partner's leaving their socks behind the bathroom door? Or or or....[that thing they do that drives you bananas]???
