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. You'll find real strategies that work in real life, honest product recommendations, project transformations, and the organizing philosophy that guides all my work: maintainable over perfect. Let's create a home that works beautifully for how you actually live.
