When your home feels like too much, I swoop in like Mary Poppins, and create peace.

HEY, I’M SARAH… WITH AN ‘H’.
10 YEARS TRANSFORMING PORTLAND HOMES// TRUSTED ORGANIZER// ANIMAL LOVER// SWIFTIE// LEOPARD PRINT IS MY NEUTRAL
My mission? Helping people finally feel good in their homes. To clear the chaos, cut the crap (literally), and make space for the life you want to live. I’m not here to sell you a Pinterest-perfect dream or convince you that matching containers will magically solve everything… because they won’t.
What I’m here for…
02
Create calm, supportive, livable spaces that feel like you—not a showroom.
04
And yeah, make your home feel lighter, easier, and better to be in.
01
Clear the clutter you’ve been avoiding for years (yes, that pile).
03
Finish the job you’ve been trying to start on your own.
I bring order, strategy, and non-judgy support into spaces that have felt like “too much” for way too long. I roll up my sleeves and help you edit, organize, and let go. And then? I personally donate what I can to places in our community that need it. So your things go on to help someone else, not sit in a garage corner for the next six months.
It’s not just about clearing stuff. It’s about curating a home that feels good to live in.
“Working with Sarah was one of the best decisions I made. After losing our parents and grandparents, my sister and I were overwhelmed by everything we inherited. Sarah was kind, caring, and empathetic as she helped us organize, donate, and clear out our father’s estate—making space for both progress and healing. I’ve recommended her to just about everyone. She is the very best.”

Giving to these spots (and so many more) feels good—it helps people, keeps stuff out of landfills, and makes it easier to let go. It’s a win for your home and the planet.

Want to know more of my story? Let’s rewind a bit.
Sure, I played street hockey, rode bikes, and ran wild with the neighborhood kids–but I was also the kid rearranging my bedroom furniture for fun and editing my Lisa Frank sticker collection down to only the “best ones.”
I’ve always had the urge to make things feel better—to tweak, to tidy, to transform. Not to impress anyone, but because it just felt right.
Fast forward a few years, and I’m the friend who would casually redo your kitchen drawers if you let me in the house long enough. I didn’t call it organizing—I just thought I was helping. And honestly? I loved it. Always have.
But the real shift came after I took on a project as a surprise wedding gift. While my friends were off getting married overseas, I spent the week completely transforming their home. I cleaned, edited, organized, and styled every room so they could walk into a space that felt like a fresh start. And when they did? It clicked.
I wasn’t just doing something nice—I was doing something life-changing.
That project lit a fire. I realized this thing I’ve always done for fun, it has value. It helps people breathe easier, live lighter, and feel at peace in their own space. I turned that realization into Simplify Curate—a business rooted in my natural skills and my belief that home should feel like a soft landing.
Now I work with clients all over Portland (and beyond), helping them let go of the stuff that’s weighing them down—and not just organizing what’s left, but transforming how it all feels.
And honestly? I’m just getting started.
