Kari was the young girl who grew up on a farm raising cows, pigs & goats but was also the girl who had a strong desire to be creative. She was always doing art projects, redecorating her room & rearranging anything she could get her hands on.
Organization has always been a passion of Kari’s & she is excited to turn her lifelong dream into reality! Kari brings her high energy attitude, positive outlook on life & bubbly personality to run the Austin location of 2B Organized®. She is excited to work closely with clients to create a space that brings function & aesthetics together.
Kari graduated from Texas State University where she received her Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design. She was a practicing interior designer before she was encouraged to follow her dream to become an entrepreneur in the professional organization industry. She plans to use her knowledge of interior design to bring an added level of service to each client to create a pretty & practical space.
She is married to the most charming & supportive man, Oliver. Together they have the most adorable daughter, Leighton Grace, & the most spoiled & handsome dog, Drake. They live happily in the heart of Austin, Texas.

Organizing Hacks
-
- When something comes in (t-shirt, pair of shoes, etc.), an old one must go out. This is the best way to avoid overcrowding your space.
- Keep a donation box in your closet or garage. As soon as it’s time to retire an item, drop it in the box. Once the box is full, take it to your local charity.
- When in doubt, ROYGBIV. A simple color coordination can change the entire look of your space.
- Hide your cords with Command hooks behind your furniture. This will help make your space look cleaner & more put together.
Favorite Products
-
- Trays for countertops. Placing your items neatly on a tray helps to define that space & it will also help keep you organized in the future since you now have a designated spot for those items.
- Drawer organizers! They help turn a messy junk drawer into a functional multi-purpose drawer.
- Shoe racks. Getting your shoes off the floor into an organized rack makes your space more functional and beautiful!
My Clients Are Saying:
Kari and her team came in clutch and organized my space top to bottom, immediately relieving some lingering anxiety I had due to the clutter! It really made a difference having a professional take control and get the job done creatively and efficiently. Highly recommend!
Kari (I hope I’m spelling that right) is the sweetest and knows exactly what she is doing from start to finish. Her and Amanda tackled all my new move boxes and made my apartment look amazing. They were so kind and helpful and I recommend them to anyone. They helped us utilize all the space we are paying for. Everything has a home and it’s so easy to clean up now with the systems that were put into place for us. And it’s so easy to keep up with. Honestly this was the best investment. I highly recommend!
This is a great company to work with. They are very professional, friendly, and timely. They transformed my cluttered pantry into my dream pantry. I highly recommend them!
They are fast and efficient and truly know how to help someone downsize and they make transitioning to a retirement community easy. I highly recommend them!
2021 has started out with a bang! Kari from 2B Organized Austin kickstarted my New Year’s resolution of organization with a masterful pantry makeover! The day started with an extremely chaotic and messy space, and by this afternoon, it was an orderly and functional area for all my kitchen and cooking needs. Thank you, Kari, for your organizational expertise, vision, and execution! To anyone who is contemplating a similar task, Kari is your girl!
5 stars do not do these ladies justice! I’d give 10 if I could! Kari and Amanda were nothing short of amazing! They were fun, professional, and turned a cluttered mess into my dream pantry! My space is now clean, functional, and aesthetically pleasing! 10/10 recommend for any of your moving, downsizing, or decluttering needs!!
I hired Kari and to help organize my overflowing office. Honestly, I wasn’t sure how much she could get done in just one session because it seemed like weeks worth of work. She works so quickly—I was surprised at how much she did for me! She also has a great eye for design! I told her I want to feel inspired when I walk into my office, and she definitely did that for me! I would highly recommend her for any organization you need. I will be hiring her again for the rest of the house! 😍
MIRACLE WORKERS!! These ladies came in & made my dreadful pantry look Instagram worthy. Not to mention they are the sweetest. Highly recommend & already trying to decide what project I can get them to tackle next. Thank you, thank you, thank you 2B Organized Austin!
AMAZING, WONDERFUL, EXCELLENT Every Step of the Way!
Finding myself in a position where I needed to quickly move my Mom from Independent Living to Assisted Living, Kari and her team at 2B Organized Austin came to our family’s rescue! We had our first consult, and Kari organized the movers and carefully boxed up Mom’s entire place within a couple of days. Knowing the importance of ensuring all Mom’s precious items were in exactly the same place, they carefully unpacked it all, hung pictures, set up the TV and bed, and it felt like HOME from the moment Mom walked in to her new space! VERY grateful for Kari & her help during a difficult transition – HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
These ladies are AMAZING! My little OCD heart couldn’t be happier with the reorganization they did to my pantry and kitchen drawers! From start to finish they were timely, professional and proficient! Can’t wait to see what I can have them help me with next! Call them…you will not be disappointed!!
Kari walked I to a kitchen full of boxes. She and her partner quickly got to work unpacking, and sorting. Then the magic happened and all the items were beautifully organized into functional cabinets and drawers. It was so helpful to have someone help unpack and, even better, organize a very important part of the house. I look forward to bringing Kari back in to help with the next organizational project!
Kari and her team transformed my kitchen from a cluttered and disorganized mess to a type-a’s dream! Everything now has its place and the best part is that it all makes sense! Kari was professional, on time, and just so sweet. I’m dreaming of having them come back to organize the rest of my house! Would highly recommend them from the smallest to the biggest organizing project you have.
INCREDIBLE!!
The team at 2B Organized Austin is amazing! They had a mess of a pantry to work with and made my OCD dreams come true. I keep opening the pantry for fun just to stare at their amazing work!
Kari was quick to respond to all communication from the very start, throughout the process, and even after the job was completed with tips and product links to stay organized.
On the day of organization, the team was efficient and thorough, and helped us purged so much useless stuff we had stored in there.
We are thrilled with how the pantry turned out, and excited that an organized pantry will also keep us in check with grocery shopping by first using the food items we have on hand.
Totally worth every penny!
