About Me

A little about me

I grew up in Evergreen Colorado, in a big family where we learned the value of hard work, efficiency, and ingenuity. My dad taught us about environmental stewardship and the concept of "Reduce, Re-use, Recycle" before it became mainstream. I still employ these values in my work today.

​

 In 2012, I examined my work history and a clear pattern emerged. The work I excelled at and enjoyed most always involved some type of organizing. When I realized all the other things I’d like about becoming a Professional Organizer - logistics and planning, working with people one-on-one, using color and design, being physically active, listening critically - Shipshape with Kate was born.

​

 My favorite part of being an organizer is helping clients gain immediate, practical improvement in their day-to-day lives.  How can I help you?
