Q+A WITH AMY
SPIFFY CHICKS FAQ
-
I have been a part of the organizing industry since 2007. The depth of knowledge and skill I offer clients is invaluable and allows me to complete their projects efficiently with outcomes that surpass their expectations. Organizing and helping others is in my soul. It is so clear that this is what I was meant to do in life.
-
My favorite thing to do isn’t specific to a space–I just absolutely love the consultation process. I love being able to see what is troubling our clients and helping them come up with solutions that will make their lives easier. Some of the most essential places I enjoy helping clients find solutions for are their closets and kitchens–areas that are used daily and require functionality.
-
I have 18 years of experience and hundreds of happy clients! I have grown my business almost entirely by word-of-mouth referrals. We are highly recommended because of our efficiency, our design-forward experience, and our ability to install beautiful organizational systems.
-
I have had a couple of inquiries about franchising and it’s fun to think about those options! I’ve also started traveling to work on some fabulous client projects beyond the SF Bay Area.
-
I’ve been incredibly fortunate to experience a great deal of travel thus far! I’ve recently traveled to New Zealand, Japan, Morocco, the southern region of Spain, and Peru. Currently, these places are at the top of my bucket list:
• Croatia
• Greece
• The Netherlands
• Southern France
• The Amalfi Coast

We can do just about everything at Spiffy Chicks! Our specialties include:
• Space planning
• Unpacking + setting up your home from a move

We are organizing experts and can help you see your spaces with a fresh perspective. This allows us to help you maximize those spaces with organizational solutions and systems. At Spiffy Chicks, we can coach you, work with you, or do the project for you to ensure your goals are reached.
Tackling larger organizing projects by yourself can feel overwhelming and time-consuming. We have a large team of expert organizers ready to help you reach those lofty goals faster and get your home back on track. Can you feel the clouds lifting already?
-
If a client is working with us, we typically book their project in 3-hour sessions that allow us to focus on decluttering and organizing without the client feeling burnt out. If we are working as a team with less involvement from the client, we will book projects in a 6-8 hour session.
After completing the free consultation with a client, a typical session involves discussing a plan for completing the project and a vision for how we will meet their goals. How do we do it?!
• We remove all the items from the space
• We group those items into categories
• We say goodbye to items that no longer serve you
• We bring the spiff to your space! (aka we give you a beautiful solution that helps you manage your household going forward)
OUR PROCESS -
This varies so much because we really do it all! We do a lot of unpacking from moves or remodels, kitchens, pantries, closets, and bedrooms.
-
With a lot of patience, empathy, and understanding. The challenge is to strike a balance of making space for things but being mindful about not keeping too many items, which can prevent clients from reaching their goals of an organized, beautiful space.
There are ways to preserve the sentiment without keeping every item. There are also ways of keeping and honoring items but storing them in a space that is separate from a client’s everyday storage space.
-
Virtual organizing sessions are a great option for DIYers that want to get organized but are unsure about how to approach the project. They are looking for an expert to guide them–someone with deep knowledge about organizing products to help them plan out their space, guide them through the project, and select the best products to maximize their usable space.
