How It All Started.
I have always loved organizing. In high school I would colour-code my notes and agenda to make my academics more efficient. I always kept my room tidy and would even organize my friends’ rooms when I was visiting with them.
But I never knew I could make a career out of it! I stumbled across Professional Organizers in Canada after I had graduated Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo with a Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature. I was at a point where I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life, but I was packing up my house to move at the time, and that’s what really got the ball rolling! I jumped into starting my own organizing business in 2015, and have done a lot of things by myself over the years. Support from my community and my organizing colleagues is so crucial to my small business, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without them!

How Jigsaw Evolved.
Jigsaw Organizing Solutions was not always the way it is today. I started my business just wanting to be an organizer, not really knowing where my business would lead. I focused on making people’s homes look pretty with brand new bins, labels on everything - like what a lot of organizers do - what is expected of you to make something look “organized”.
I started living a more sustainable personal life, and wanted my business to encompass those values as well. I now encourage my clients to live more minimally and in a sustainable way. Whether it is reusing what they already have to get organized, or just re-thinking their shopping methods, there are so many ways that I can help someone bring together organization and sustainable living!
I am always looking for ways to expand and make my business have the best impact on my clients, my community, and the environment.
