hi, i’m julia!
A Little About Me
From a surprisingly young age I have had a strong appreciation for order, efficiency, color coding, and all things organization (ok fine…minus that messy room phase in middle school – we all had that, right?!).Ā Even though organization has always seemed to be a big part of my life, it took having my two wonderful daughters to help me realize that my strengths could actually become a career path!
As sappy as it sounds, my children helped me to see the importance of being present in the moment (cue the āthey grow up so fastā tears), so I got to work creating systems & processes to fit our families needs. This not only helped our family stay organized, but I found I was more efficient as ever! Instead of rummaging through drawers, or spending additional time & money buying items that I knew were āaround here somewhereā, I got to spend that time reading stories, putting together puzzles, and snuggling on the couch (a WAY better trade off if you ask me).Ā
I quickly realized I was not alone and began helping those around me. I worked with family and friends to teach them my approach to efficient organization and absolutely loved watching them succeed in getting their time & energy back!Ā Thanks to the support of my family and friends, I was able to turn my passion into a business and I canāt wait to see how we can help you maxmize your life!
āIf you are looking for the best Kansas City Professional Organizing company, look no further! Julia took an overwhelming, impossible seeming project and made it easy and fun! Now I can finally find everything I need and have been amazed how easy it has been to maintain my newly organized spaces. I canāt thank you enough!ā

āBest business investment I've made in a long time. I routinely have Julia come to my photography studio and help me create systems and organization that will increase my productivity and long term profitability. She's got an incredible way of figuring out solutions to systematic problem areas and keeping my business organized in general. I recommend using Efficiently Neat 10 times over. The return on the investment is undeniable."

āSpring cleaning got a little tricky when I was trying to organize my 7 year old's closet...I thought we could tackle the project on our own, but in the end, I needed to call in a professional to help soften the potential mother/daughter disagreements about what needed to stay, go, be donated, etc. Julia (a mother herself) came in an brilliantly navigated both the emotional content and the spacial variables we were dealing with. My daughter LOVES her closet and I'm incredibly happy with the end project...we ended up hiring Julia to continue the project beyond the closet and into other spaces of our home needing some TLC. As a busy, working mom (as many of us are), this was a project that I would gladly outsource to Julia and her team in the future. She was perfection."
Jessica R.
"Working with Julia was amazing! She helped me tackle the project of packing my house before moving. On the day of our session Julia came with literally every packing item you would need (moving boxes, sharpies, post-it notes, packing tape, trash bags, packing paper, and so much more). She helped me think through what might be needed right away after the move vs. what was going into storage for the time being. Julia is professional, kind, organized, and extremely easy to work with. She is the main reason our move went so smooth and I am thankful for her expertise!"

Julia walked into a basement that was rather chaotic and left it completely organized. Her attention to uniformity provided a visual sense of organization and I mean the attention to each label being in the exact spot on every storage bin... Julia allowed for me to be her worker bee, and with her guidance we took a 365 day's overdo job all the way down to 4.5 hours from start to finish. Get this she even took all our donation items with her...leaving us absolutely nothing to do except enjoy are new organized basement. This was a birthday present for my husband...his words. "Thanks so much for that EXCELLENT surprise gift!"
Karen C.
"My husband and I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Julia, and the services she offers. She has changed how things work in our home and we will be forever grateful. She is professional, warm, strategic, patient, extremely hard-working and so effective in her role. She truly is amazing! She helped us so we had a home for everything. She truly is making our home work better for everyone. Booking her services was one of the best investments we've made as home owners and we cannot recommend her more highly. ā¤ļø"

I could not believe she was actually able to do it but she did ;0) She was so much fun to work with and I am already planning for her to "fix" another mess of a room. I can SO HIGHLY RECOMMEND her!!! Thanks so much Julia!!!!"

Lucia S.
"We cannot say enough great things about our experience with Julia! She was prompt, affordable and amazing to work with during our garage overhaul. From the virtual consultation to the end result, she kept us informed of costs, next steps and was open to all our feedback along the way. It's such a great feeling knowing that everything has a "home" now and we're already looking at other spaces to work with Julia on!"
Brian D.
"Julia exceeded our expectations for organizing our pantry! She was prompt, professional and really made the perfect plan for our pantry. Not only is it beautiful organized, itās easy to maintain and very functional! From the containers to the labels, it is now a dream pantry! She even made the most amazing ābefore and afterā video that I share with everyone. We couldnāt be more pleased and would highly recommend her company!!"
Amy W.
"Thanks for your help reorganizing and decluttering my entire home. I have used other organizers in the past, but your system is the most efficient and fast!."
Renee J.
"Julia has been absolutely amazing to work with. She has solved several organizational issues in our new home including our pantry, basement, garage, bathrooms, linen closet, and an office space. Each time we have worked with Julia she has asked great questions to truly understand how we live in our spaces and each time she has brought creative solutions to our needs. This isnāt a one time clean out that is a mess again months later. Each of our spaces looks just as good as the day she completed the work. We are able to keep spaces organized, find what we need and really live in our home without clutter. I am excited to have Julia come back to organize a few additional spaces!"
Melissa T.
"Julia has done several spaces in my home now and I can't recommend her enough! I struggle to get motivated to purge things AND I struggle to see how things can be organized in a way that will work day-to-day. Julia has helped me see what works best for my home-- and helped me get rid of things in a non-threatening way. She did one of my spaces a couple of months ago and it has stayed organized since!"
Molly M.
"Julia is very good at what she does. Getting you organized. She is pleasantly persistent and addictive. Once you start you canāt stop because the process works and she makes your life better and who doesnāt want that!"

"We are so grateful to Julia for making a tough space in our home both functional and aesthetically pleasing! We wonāt hesitate to reach out in the future for additional projects."
Jenny G.
"Julia was absolutely wonderful to work with! She is quick, creative, and such a hard worker. After moving here in June and having three small kids, I was overwhelmed with unpacking my house and getting it set up well. She helped me with our toy room, living room, and created a functional and pretty craft closet. Our main level is finally set up, and itās thanks to my work with Julia! I canāt recommend her enough. š¤©"
Tina M.
"Julia helped me create a clean and efficient space for both of my basement storage rooms and both of my kidās bedrooms. I want her to now organize my whole home. She created such a useful space for us. Not only is she great at organizing, but she also is flexible at creating a personalized space that worked specifically for me and my family!"

"Julia has been great! She took on a large organizing project in our basement. Julia works fast and figures out best way to approach the job. She is also very personable and easy to work with.

Miles W.
"Julia is a miracle worker!! She organized our kitchen and it's so much easier to access things & put them away in their spot, and easily see our grocery inventory. She puts a lot of thought into the project & works quickly to get it done! Can't recommend enough!!"
Gabrielle G.
"Over the past few months Julia has organized my entire home and she has been a dream to work with. My husband passed away, I moved, and I was feeling overwhelmed by everything. I couldnāt seem to get a handle on things, so I made the decision to hire Julia. She thoughtfully, systematically, and efficiently, moved from room to room doing her magic. I donāt say magic casuallyā¦ she worked wonders. She helped organize my bills, mail, garage, unfinished ācatch allā space, took photos to post on FB market place, organized my online banking, and even found me forgotten gift cards, and checks! I can breathe & enjoy my home again. I canāt recommend her enough, she goes above & beyond, and I know you wonāt regret making the call to hire her."
Rochelle V.
"I was so pleased how much we got done in the time aloud. And such a fresh look at the space much needed!! Can't wait for our next appt.!!"
Julie Y.
"Awesome experience which made such a difference in my space and daily living. So grateful to Julia!!!!"
Kathleen O.
"Julia was amazing! She organized our storage area to make it easier for our staff to locate items needed. Julia was in communication with us throughout her time organizing. She wanted to make sure we did/didnāt need certain things and let us know her entire process. We will definitely be using her again!"
Lindsay K.
"Julia was amazing! On day 2 of our cross-state move, she had our daughtersā bedroom/closet/bathroom and our bedroom/closet/bathroom completely set up, along with some other play spaces for the kids. We are able to function so much better while we work through the rest of the boxes. I highly recommend her. She has a very kind and helpful demeanor as well, which makes a big difference āŗļø"
Julia K.
"I cannot say enough good things about working with Julia! She is prompt, professional, and efficient, just as her business title implies! She had a systemic way of viewing your spaces and anticipating your needs within the home. Her spatial planning, creative thinking and organizational skills are top notch! I want her to touch every space in my home with her magic wand!"
Elise K.
"Julia does amazing work! She has organized my pantry and basement storage areas. Her organization planning is very detailed oriented and final results have been beyond my expectations. My family is actually keeping it organized because of what sheās done. I couldnāt be more grateful."
Heather A.
"We were so excited to have our personal organizing sessions with Julia! She was able to work with our individual needs and help us declutter. With our condo being small, we really needed help with maximizing our storage space. She was able to come up with solutions to our toughest problems including my crafting storage. She was kind, very flexible with her time and generous with her knowledge. Now our spaces work for us, no more losing things and buying the same thing over, we can see everything we have and things have home now. I will definitely be calling her to help in our new home this summer!"
Alexa C.
"I highly recommend Julia. Over the course of two days she helped breathe new life and organization into our kidsā playroom and kitchen pantry; two spaces I had been working on for months but between kids and commitments, I just couldnāt get the job done by myself. Julia helped to declutter, organize, and find a home for everything. She listened to our concerns and pain points. She was very thoughtful with her planning. I canāt wait to work with Julia again. If you feel weighed down by stuff or if you simply need a fresh take on a space, contact Julia!"
Emily H.
"Julia did an amazing job organizing my office. She totally transformed it into a more efficient work space. She definitely is great at what she does . I'm very satisfied with how she helped me and I would refer her to any of my friends or colleagues."
Michael H.
"I used Efficiently Neat for our move. My garage was filled with tons of different things that needed to go all different places. Julia helped me sort through the chaos, brainstormed ideas of where items should go and even moved the items herself. I appreciated that when I called for help she was willing to shift her schedule around and find a way to help me ASAP. She was even able to come back the following week to help organize our playroom. Everything looks beautiful and the weight of moving was much much lighter after hiring her. Highly recommend for your move or just for helping organize the chaos."
Hannah E.
"To be honest I was a little nervous at first having someone come into my home and see my messy, unorganized pantry, but Julia was a joy to work with and immediately made me feel at ease during the entire process. Julia shared tips as she organized and she asked questions on how I shop and prepare meals so she could place items thoughtfully together to make it easier for me to find things when baking or preparing breakfast vs dinner! The best part for meā¦other than now having an incredibly functional and beautiful pantry, is it has been a breeze to keep organized with my labeled bins and a designated place for everything! I look forward to continuing on with Efficiently Neat to tackle other unorganized spaces in my home! If you need help with any space large or small I HIGHLY recommend Efficiently Neat!"
Lynne S.
"I recently moved to Kansas City. My whole house needed to be organized. Julia did an amazing job and sheās so easy to work with! She changed my life!"
Karen B.
"If I could give Julia at Efficiently Neat10 stars I would!!!! She is professional, speedy and does a PERFECT job!"
Julie w.
"I have very much appreciated working with Julia. She is genuine, non judgmental, great sense of humor and easy to work with and helpful outside of the project as well. She definitely knows how to organize and get the spaces cleaned up. Looking forward to working with her again soon! Thank you!"
Shiela W.
"We gave this gift to our daughter as she moved into a new home. I have never been the best at keeping things organized and neither has she. Almost as soon as Julia left their home, we received a call saying how grateful and relieved our daughter and her husband were for her help, and how much better they both feel. What more can I say? It took 5 hours, they worked on the pantry and the kitchen. The plan is for her to come back and work on bathrooms and other rooms. They've had a crazy year, and I feel like this is one of the best gifts we could have given them to help them get moved in and back on track. We could have bought them this or a housewarming gift, but I don't think it would have even touched the peace of mind that Julia gave them yesterday. They have two young boys and I think this will be a generational change in all their lives."
