Our Story
From Chaos to Calling
About Organize By Designe, we believe everyone deserves a home that feels like a sanctuary. Founded by Nichole, a 20+ year decluttering expert, our Chicagoland-based company has spent over 12 years helping overwhelmed families and individuals transform chaotic spaces into organized, functional homes.
How It All Began
Nichole's journey into professional organizing didn't start in a classroom, it started in real life. After years of witnessing how clutter affected people's stress levels, relationships, and overall well-being, she discovered a calling: helping others reclaim their spaces and, ultimately, their peace of mind.
What began as helping friends and family evolved into a mission. Nichole realized that behind every cluttered closet, overflowing garage, and chaotic kitchen was a person who simply needed guidance, not judgment.
Why We Do What We Do
We understand the emotional weight clutter carries. The embarrassment of not wanting guests over. The frustration of searching for things you know you own. The overwhelm of not knowing where to start. We've seen it all, and we want you to know: you're not alone, and there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Life happens. Careers get busy. Families grow. Transitions occur. Clutter accumulates. Our purpose is to meet you exactly where you are and guide you, with empathy, expertise, and zero judgment, toward the organized, peaceful home you deserve.
