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 spoiled & handsome dog, Drake. The three live happily in the heart of Austin, Texas.
Fun Facts!
-
- I am obsessed with candles. There is (at least) one lit in our house at all times.

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:
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! 😍
