Virtual Organizing

I love rolling up my sleeves and working side-by-side with a client to help them reach their organizing goals.

As a Certified Virtual Professional Organizer (CVPO™), I still work side-by-side with clients–just via a screen!

Virtual Organizing is when you and a Professional Organizer work together via your smartphone, tablet, or computer to create and implement solutions to your organizing challenges.

In it’s simplest terms…

YOU + ME + email/phone/video/photos + hard work + fun = Virtual Organizing Success

Yes—you read that right—fun. Organizing can be fun. There’s also that ‘hard work’ part. Let’s not gloss over that. Organizing can be physically and emotionally taxing at times. We’ll recognize it and work through it together.

What Are Some Benefits of Virtual Organizing?

Virtual organizing sessions are 1 or 2 hours long and easy to fit into one’s schedule.
It offers accountability for those who wish to have a partner in the process

THE PROCESS…

Fill out the Organized Artistry Contact Us form.
I will email you back.
Via a 15-minute discovery phone call, you and I will determine if Organized Artistry can assist you using Virtual Organizing services.
If you and I feel that Organized Artistry can be of assistance, a no-cost/no-obligation half hour Needs Assessment via FaceTime or Zoom will be scheduled to discuss your organizing needs. I may ask you to snail mail or email me pictures of the areas to be organized before the Needs Assessment.
I ‘meet’ you, you ‘meet’ me during the Needs Assessment (via FaceTime or Zoom), you talk and give me a ‘tour’ of your organizing challenges. There will be some chit chat, discussion of your vision for the space, your budget, etc. I’ll do most of the listening.
If you choose to use Organized Artistry’s Virtual Organizing services, a service agreement is signed by both parties and we schedule our first video virtual organizing appointment.
Virtual Organizing begins. I usually bring garbage bags to a session—please grab some from your kitchen instead!
In between sessions, homework assignments and email support will be offered.

Does this sound like we’ll be a ‘good fit?’ If your answer is ‘yes,’ please fill out the form on our Contact Us page. We’d love to assist you with your organizing challenges—virtually!
