My expertise? Transforming spaces by reimagining layouts and creatively repurposing what’s already there. With experience in DIY, upcycling, and smart planning, I create refreshed + functional homes.

Description

For the past 10 years, I’ve helped people bring joy, clarity, and beauty into their lives and homes as a home organizer and artist. With the growing popularity of sustainable home organizing, the demand for my work has increased—but my approach remains personal and purposeful. I focus on removing items that no longer serve a function and creatively repurposing underused belongings through my DIY skills.

More details about your skills

Gardening
I love gardening and getting my hands dirty. I’m eager to learn more about different plant varieties and the best gardening practices to keep everything thriving.

Cooking
I specialize in Italian cuisine, but find the most joy in baking cakes and scones. There's nothing like the smell of something sweet coming out of the oven!

Children
I’ve raised four children and am now a proud grandmother to two granddaughters in Spain and a grandson in California. They fill my life with joy and keep my heart full.

Sewing & Crafts
Resourceful and practical, I can patch, fix, and breathe new life into broken items. I love the satisfaction of mending and creating with my hands.

Painting
Detail-oriented and a perfectionist, I take pride in my painting. Whether it’s a wall or a canvas, I bring patience and precision to every brushstroke.

DIY Projects
Creative and scrappy, I’m always up for an artsy challenge! Recently, I transformed a commercial bus into a cozy one-bedroom apartment to host on Airbnb. I managed the entire project—from planning to execution—and loved every minute of the creative design process.

Moving House
Having moved many times, I’ve mastered the art of packing, organizing, and setting up new spaces. I’d love to share my experience and help others who enjoy or need guidance through this transition.

English Lessons
For the past five years, I’ve taught English to students aged 5 to 30+. I make learning fun and interactive—especially with younger students—using games, play, and engaging lessons that make English come alive.

What else ...

After raising four children around the world—in Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Florida, New Jersey, and California—I’ve recently made a big move from my home country, Uruguay, to Spain in April 2025. I'm now happily closer to my daughters and grandchildren. This year, I’m dedicating time to travel through Europe, eager to learn new things, especially in the world of art, and to deepen my experience in some of my favorite passions: home organization, sustainable interior design, language immersion, and reconnecting with my mother's homeland, England.

I’m a great listener and genuinely enjoy connecting with easy-going people who live life to the fullest. I love a good laugh, playing board games, walking in nature, watching films, and, of course, a hot cup of coffee.

Sustainability is at the heart of how I live. I’m always inspired by innovative building practices and eco-friendly projects from around the globe. I recently completed nearly two years overseeing a sustainable housing project on my land in Uruguay—an experience that was as fulfilling as it was educational.
