Hi, I'm Sam—a Certified Professional Organizer® based in the San Francisco Bay Area and the voice behind Simply Organized. This blog has been my passion project since 2010, and it's where I get to share everything I've learned from organizing hundreds of homes.

Let's create a home that works beautifully for how you actually live.
