You’re not just moving boxes.
You’re deciding what comes with you.
Most people don’t call us because their house is messy. They call because a move is coming, the calendar is tight, and every single thing in the house suddenly needs a decision. That is a lot to hold on your own — and it is the part we are best at.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
You want this move to feel manageable, not like one more enormous project.
You don’t want to carry the clutter from this home into the next one.
Keep, donate, sell, store — every item feels like its own decision.
You don’t want to pay to pack and move things you never use.
You look at everything you’ve collected over the years and don’t know where to begin.
You already have a hundred decisions to make about this move.
You don’t have to figure this out by yourself. We’ve walked hundreds of families through it, and we know how to make it easier.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone.
Whether you’re twelve months out or three weeks from closing, the next step is the same: one conversation, no obligation, and a clear plan for what happens first.

A 30-minute conversation, in person or by video. You tell us where you’re moving, when, and what’s keeping you up at night.
02
We Walk Through the Plan.
We’ll tell you honestly what we’d recommend, what it involves, and what it would cost. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so.
03
You Decide.
No contract on the call. You’ll get everything in writing and take whatever time you need.
QUESTIONS
Questions
How far in advance should I contact you?
The earlier the better — twelve months out isn’t too soon, and it’s when we save you the most money. That said, we’ve helped families three weeks before closing. If your move is soon, call us anyway.
Do I have to be there while you work?
What happens to everything we don’t keep?
Can you help with an estate or a home after a loss?

“Working with Nichole from Organize by Designe was hands down the best decision I could have made while staring down the chaos of unpacking. We had just moved to Naperville, IL and needing to downsize a bit. I went into this process feeling judged, overwhelmed and defeated, but the moment she stepped in, everything changed.”
SAMANTHA “BIDI” ALLABABIDI · NAPERVILLE, IL
“Nichole is amazing!! She helped one of my real estate clients with their over cluttered home. She got them organized and helped purge unneeded items. She worked with me to get the home staged and picture ready. And, we got a contract within just a few days!! I highly recommend Organize By Designe, and won’t hesitate to use her services again in the future!! Thanks again Nichole!!”

“Thank you Nicole and Team!!! Your professionalism, dedication and commitment to detail with clients is much appreciated!! I will continue to recommend your services to clients again and again.”

WHY US
Most Moving Help Ends at the Truck. Ours Doesn’t.
Anyone can put things in boxes. Here’s what we do instead.
We Don’t Believe in Dumpsters.
Most companies roll a dumpster into your driveway and call it decluttering. We route everything we can to donations, electronics recycling, medication disposal, and responsible recycling — so the things you loved find someone else who will love them.
We Unpack With Intention.
Anyone can open boxes. We build kitchen, pantry, closet, and storage systems that work on day one, plus the daily habits that keep them standing — including our 15-Minute Daily Reset. You walk into a home, not a house full of boxes.
Eco-Friendly Packing That Costs You Less.
Most movers burn through packing paper and disposable materials, then bill you for it. We use your towels, blankets, and pillows to protect your belongings wherever possible. Less waste, less expense.
We Organize While We Pack.
We sort and categorize as we go. Because everything is organized before it’s boxed, unpacking is dramatically faster and your systems are already built when you arrive — the approach that earned us recognition in the Chicago Tribune and Redfin.
Why I Started Organize by Designe
I’ve worked with hundreds of families who felt overwhelmed by clutter, moving, downsizing, grief, or simply not knowing where to begin. And every time, I saw the same thing: they didn’t need more bins or shelves. They needed someone to look at the whole picture and gently say, “Here’s where we start.”
My passion began with one client who felt completely overwhelmed by her home and couldn’t create the change she needed on her own. As I closed the door behind me that day, I caught one last glimpse of her stretching her arms across the back of her couch, looking slowly from one side of the room to the other and taking it all in. For the first time, she could truly relax in her own home. That moment stayed with me—and it became the reason I started Organize By Designe.

THE PROCESS
How We Work
Whether you need all three phases or just one, we meet you where you are.
Four hours is our minimum. We can help wherever you feel you need help, and the phases can be broken up as needed.
Phase 01
Declutter & Downsize
Before anything gets packed, we decide what deserves to come with you.
Room-by-room sorting
Keep, donate, sell, and recycle decisions made with you, not for you
Donation pickups scheduled and coordinated
Sentimental items given the care they deserve
Phase 02
Pack Smart
Organized as it’s packed, labeled so it makes sense on the other end.
Full or partial packing
Every box labeled by room, contents, and priority
Fragile and high-value items identified and protected
A master inventory so nothing goes missing
Phase 03
Unpack & Set Up
The part most people dread. It’s the part we’re best at.
Kitchen and pantry first, so the heart of the home works immediately
Bathrooms, bedrooms, closets, and laundry functional on day one
Storage systems built for how your family actually lives
Boxes broken down, removed and recycled
Here’s what it looks like
with us in it.
You still make every decision about your own belongings. We make those decisions small, fast and finished — and we do the lifting, sorting, hauling and labelling around them.
01
A plan on day one
You know what happens in which room, in what order, and when it has to be done.
02
Decisions made in minutes, not evenings
We sort alongside you, so nothing sits in a “decide later” pile.
03
Donations and hauling handled
Items leave the house the same day. You don’t drive anywhere.
04
A new home that works from week one
Kitchen, closets and pantry set up the way you actually live.
WHAT WE HEAR MOST
Three things get people stuck.
None of them mean you’re disorganised. They mean a move asks a lot of you, all at once.
“I don’t know where to begin.”
You can see the whole house at once and that makes it impossible to start anywhere. We start for you — one room, one category, in an order that actually works.
“I don’t want to move things I don’t use.”
Half of what gets packed never gets unpacked. We sort before the boxes come out, so what travels is what you actually want in the next house.
“I don’t want to unpack into the same mess.”
Moving day isn’t the finish line. We set up the new home so it works from the first week — not six months of boxes in the garage.
