About
My aim is to help you harmonize with your surroundings. Together, we will establish systems that align with your habits and preferences, making cleaning easier and more enjoyable. Whether you need assistance decluttering, balancing an awkward space, or moving into a new home, I am here to lend a hand. While some projects may require only items that are already in your home, others may necessitate the acquisition or construction of shelving, etc. For more complex undertakings, such as bespoke builds, heavy installation or lighting fixtures, I work in close collaboration with a dependable contractor.

PROCEDURES
For Clutter Management
To tackle any chaos, we will:
- Select a specific area to work on first
- Pare down, categorize and discard
- Organize and store what remains
- Acquire or design anything that is missing (I can provide you with a complete shopping list, a guide including precise measurements and recommendations, or supervise custom shelving built by a trusted collaborator)
- Finish storing once everything arrives

For Moves & Transitions
You can choose to be as hands-on or hands-off as you prefer. We can collaborate to unpack, plan and shop, or you can provide me with a general idea of what you have in mind and let me take care of things while you go about your day. I can also assist you in optimizing and streamlining your possessions in preparation for a move. Additionally, I can manage supplementary projects, such as wiring for lighting, the creation of bespoke installations, etc., with the aid of expert, licensed contractors.

EXPERIENCE
I've been compulsively re-arranging and tidying up my friends' rooms since I was 12. This enduring passion for spatial organization led me to formalize my expertise in 2022. I possess boundless energy and a genuine passion for this type of work, which is why I am now committed to providing these professional services. I hold a Masters of Science in Social and Somatic Factors in Design, which has given me extensive knowledge about furniture and the social implications of space utilization.

CONSTRUCTION
I maintain a fruitful relationship with a dependable and skilled contractor/handyman. Their proficiency in electrical work, heavy-duty installations, custom-closet assembly, and custom shelving creation allows us to approach projects of any scale seamlessly. Furthermore, I can independently handle tasks like hanging heavy mirrors or pictures, assembling furniture, shifting large objects, and installing basic shelving.

EMOTIONS
I am here to help you navigate any emotional responses that might emerge during the declutter process or the act of relinquishing sentimental items. Some endeavors may be relatively straightforward, and I can help you let go. Conversely, for more involved undertakings, I understand these feelings can also be a major challenge, and I am here to support you through the process.

ERGODYNAMICS
My past work in ergodynamic design allows me to advise and create movement-oriented living and working spaces that boost rather than hinder circulation (both social and physical). Correspondingly, I offer consultations and recommended product lists to encourage this type of space optimization.

Hiring Space Doctors was a fantastic choice as we were unsure of how to proceed with a space that was in disarray. They provided encouragement, assistance with prioritization, space redesign, storage solutions, and suggested budget-friendly furniture and closet options to purchase online or at nearby stores. In a mere three hours, we had a revamped room and a foolproof system in place to maintain its organization. We are delighted that we enlisted their services.

EJ did an amazing job transforming my tiny studio apartment into a gorgeous and practical living space. She skillfully evaluated the area and implemented methods to utilize every inch, resulting in a tidy and charming appearance. Additionally, she was incredibly amiable and helpful, especially with assisting me in sorting through years of accumulated belongings. Since organizing my home with EJ, I feel immensely improved while spending time there. Having her help was monumental in my life. I enthusiastically endorse her services and extend a warm thank you to EJ!
