I spent 14 years running retail operations — managing $85 million in revenue, standardizing 150 stores, leading teams across the country. I started on the floor at Nordstrom styling men during the era when client relationships had no limits, moved through Bonobos during the Guideshop launch, then across womenswear at Joie, Equipment, and Current/Elliott.
I know what things are worth. I know how to walk into a room and understand what is happening and what needs to happen next. I know how to build a system that actually holds — not one that looks good for a photo and falls apart in a week.
Then my apartment flooded in Seattle and I watched my own treasures get damaged with no one to help. I realized: the thing I had been doing for corporations — walking into chaos, building the system, knowing what everything is worth and where it should go — that is what people need in their homes and in their lives.
I fit anywhere. The retired executive and his wife. The tech professional who just moved to Venice. The family where one person is managing everything. The 78-year-old woman whose kids live in Chicago and need someone they can trust in her home when they cannot be there. I meet people where they are.

"The thing I was raised to do in retail — worry about the time it took or the hit later — it all leveled out in the end. I believe the investment and time I put into people will lead to only good things."

I am not a personal assistant, a cleaning service, a home health aide, or an on-call resource. I am not an interior designer, a certified appraiser, or an estate sale company. Every engagement has a scope, a start, and an end.
What I am: a professional who walks in, assesses the situation honestly, builds a plan, and executes it. My assessments of value come from 14 years of professional retail experience across clothing, outdoor gear, luxury resale, and home goods. My credibility is on this page. My references are real.
