Hi, I'm Lola. I'm a lover of vintage, history, color, and form and a promoter of pizazz and sustainability.
And I love organizing!
Organizing your environment makes getting things done so much easier. It's been essential in every artistic production I've been a part of. I've got over 30 years of experience in creative space design, creative artistry, fashion, and museum services. My expertise extends to private clients, museum exhibitions, retail stores, film, and theater.
All my visual and functional solutions combine to deliver home organizing that should reflect your best self -- optimized for how you want to live. I take the time to listen to my clients' stories and understand how they move in their space so I can help them thrive in an environment they love. My unique approach is a joyful way to transform a space and celebrate the people within it.
I can help you love your space too!
Lola's Unique Niches:
Deep understanding of creative people
and what they treasure:
Lola's 30 + years in the arts gives her the edge when talking about the creative and technical needs and desires of creative clients and spaces, curation and display of collections, or creative archiving.
Sustainability:
Before spending on store-bought solutions, she'll discuss sustainable design and decor using the things you have, upcycling, and repurposing. Lola's ready with donation information so you can feel great about what you shed.
Creativity:
Lola brings out personality in your space. Lola is a skilled creative interpreter who has worked for 30 years selecting artifacts and designing enhancements that tell stories. She uses all she's learned to interpret your story in your space.
Visionary Tools:
Got something in mind but can't express it? Lola is trained in AI interpretive visioning and mood boarding. Lola offers these additional services to assist you in a journey of discovery to pull ideas out and help you make them real. Inquire about this exciting process!
Embodiment:
Do you need a personal upgrade to match your new environment? Lola's wardrobe and brand identity services create a "life 2.0 makeover experience."
The Organizing Process
Diagnosing:
Lola believes that form and function are key. Lola examines how you move through the space and how your problems arise. She diagnoses and collaborates with you, prescribing creative solutions. Lola's sustainable lifestyle and fabrication background ensures a range of custom design solutions to solve your issues within your budget. In tandem, as a long-time artist, educator and producer, Lola can help heal the soft side of organizational issues by advising you with visioning, goal-setting, and accountability strategies to boost your lifestyle habits..
Decluttering:
Lola's empathic process nurtures her clients' individuality, showcasing their personalities, treasures, and artworks while helping them let go of what’s less meaningful and in the way of their beautiful, organized version of themselves.
Creating and Installing Solutions:
This phase involves better design for the practical use of your space. Expect discussions, rearranging, and new ideas that make life a breeze again. The range of choices for improvements and associated budgets and timelines will be discussed.
Final Installation:
Lola is there to help you get things into place, she will manage any custom contractors, discuss how to prevent old habits from returning, and put the final touches on styling your treasures.
Beyond:
Through this personal journey, Lola and her clients often create a strong bond. From check-ins to accountability plans, questions, and new ideas, Lola is just a call away.
While others can help you edit and simplify, Lola provides holistic service, pairing her personalized approach to functional living and ”future you” visioning with her organizing and design capabilities.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Home Assessment
“Lola opened my eyes from a dream. In our home assessment, she realized what I really needed was a home office. Then, like a butterfly effect, she turned all our under-utilized spaces and our overused spaces into areas for doing the things we love, with more room and less clutter. She left us motivated and with a simple plan for each room to implement the rest of her ideas throughout our home. -CC
Closet & Wardrobe
I’m an eclectic style maven, a world traveler and crafter. WIth Lola, I felt safe and appreciated while we tackled my Wardrobe Space. Lola let me go down memory lane with my much-loved clothing and came up with ways to organize, fix, restyle, or list them. She pulled out beautiful things from my closet and turned my bare dressing room into a celebrated space. We eliminated the clutter, and now it’s so fun and easy to get dressed. She even gave me some DIY upcycling projects to do with my treasured jars full of buttons and broken jewelry. I loved the experience so much that I asked her back to re-imagine and organize my “yoga garage.” - SM
Craft Room
"I am a maker with a wide range of interests and the stuff to back it up, and I was really struggling with how to turn my small-ish space in our older house into usable space that worked with the way my brain approaches projects. Essentially, I needed a room that lent itself to organized chaos, so that I could make messes and put them away without losing track of my supplies and pending projects. Saying yes to working with Lola was easy - she understood the unusual nature of the project in a way that others didn't. The resulting room is a joy to work in, and is absolutely customized to both my project needs and my sense of decor. I can't wait for our next project together."
