Meet the Team

PRINCIPAL ORGANIZER

Jessy believes in the power of less— sometimes more—and finds true joy in guiding her clients through life’s many decisions. Her keen observation and grounded, hands-on approach help her transform spaces so that they better support the client in the present moment. Her favorite part of organizing is building relationships with the sincere, eclectic, and talented people that inhabit New York City.
A graduate of NYU, Jessy’s background as a performance artist helps her find ways to make the irksome task of decluttering more palatable and fun. In 2025, she presented The Art of Letting Go, a seminar on decluttering at the Cosmopolitan Club and launched a music program with DJ Suga Ray, publishing seasonal mixes that energize and inspire productive self-guided tidying sessions.
