The Evolution of "Life and Desk " (aka Life and Desk Management)
Raised in the Hollywood Hills in a house filled with family antiques, myriad collectibles, sentimental papers, photos, and books, and indulged in every hobby and do-it-yourself project known to mankind, I understand the oppressive world of “stuff”.
Before I could even read the word “Bekins”, I was entrenched in a ‘clutterfied’ lifestyle. One day, while exploring an unused bedroom filled with never-unpacked boxes, I discovered a lovely Steinway piano. Delighted to find real music at my fingertips, I learned that our most valuable possessions may never be discovered if we don’t move stuff out of the way. (That’s a metaphor, by the way.)
Before I was ten, I was reconciling my parents’ checkbooks and reorganizing their home library according to the Dewey Decimal System. I designed a shelving system in the den and the kitchen. My parents were thrilled. So I learned that organizing garners approval and makes people smile.
After majoring in math, graduating with a degree in art, I did everything from writing an astrology column to designing carpeting (with a stint in an insurance company), eventually becoming a personal assistant. From this Life and Desk evolved over 25 years ago.
I always learn something from my clients, who live mostly in Los Angeles and the Westside. Every person’s “stuff” is unique and important. I’m always honored that I’m entrusted with its placement.
