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 & the most spoiled & handsome dog. They 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.
- There is no such thing as “too much” when it comes to chips & queso!
- If it’s over 75 degrees, you can find me by the lake or pool!
- Texas Country concerts & tailgating at UT football games are two of my favorite activities!
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:
They are fast & efficient & truly know how to help someone downsize & they make transitioning to a retirement community easy. I highly recommend them!
Kari & Kelsey are literal angels on Earth. From the estimate process to the day of organizing, everything was seamless & so simple. They are very clear in their communication & all expectations are set at the initial walkthrough. They are honest & fair, & they are both so passionate about the work they do. My husband & I are so impressed with their work, & we’ve hired them to come back from round 2 soon! I’d highly recommend anyone on their team.
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 & her team at 2B Organized Austin came to our family’s rescue! We had our first consult & Kari organized the movers & 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 & bed & 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!
Kari & her team were awesome! Smooth process from start to finish. I am so thankful that I chose 2B Organized to do my kitchen after moving to a new house! I can’t recommend enough
The girls from 2B Organized Austin transformed our new closet & found a space for everything. We really wanted to utilize all of the space in our new home’s closet & they built 3 furniture pieces for us from IKEA for shoe & clothing storage. Highly recommend them for any project big or small. We may just have to call them again for the garage.
This is a great company to work with. They are very professional, friendly & timely. They transformed my cluttered pantry into my dream pantry. I highly recommend them!
Kari & her team made a masterpiece out of the disaster that was my garage! I can’t say enough good things about them—they were professional, communicative, patient, kind & extremely skilled! Will definitely be reaching out for future organizing projects.
Kari & her team outdid my expectations! She came in & reorganized our kitchen, pantry & office closet. Not only did they go through all of our junk & belongings, they donated for us & I think that’s amazing. I have been holding off for a while & convinced myself that I could organize by myself but I never got to it because I always got very overwhelmed by what was in front of me. These ladies do it effortlessly & created such a great system for each space they did. I know I won’t regret using them & I plan to use them for any future moves!
Amazing service, talented & enjoyable to work with. It is life changing to have your space organized by Kari & Kelsey.
Couldn’t have dreamed up a better or more organized pantry than what 2B Organized created for me!! Excited for them to come & organize the rest of my house.
These ladies are AMAZING! My little OCD heart couldn’t be happier with the reorganization they did to my pantry & kitchen drawers! From start to finish they were timely, professional & proficient! Can’t wait to see what I can have them help me with next! Call them…you will not be disappointed!!
5 stars do not do these ladies justice! I’d give 10 if I could! Kari & Amanda were nothing short of amazing! They were fun, professional & turned a cluttered mess into my dream pantry! My space is now clean, functional & aesthetically pleasing! 10/10 recommend for any of your moving, downsizing, or decluttering needs!!
I hired Kari 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, & 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! 😍
Kari is the best! My husband & I are finishing a remodel, & we just needed that extra help to get our lives organized, & Kari did just that! She took our chaos & made it perfect for us to navigate. I highly recommend her services, & we will definitely use her again!!! Thank you so, so much!
We were combining our things with purchasing our new home as a newly engaged couple. I wanted 2B Organized’s help to make our move as easy as possible by unpacking & organizing our kitchen, bar area, pantry & closet. Now my fiance wants our whole house organized by this team because they did a fantastic job! Walking into our new kitchen & closet feels so light and perfect!
I really don’t think that my words here will do proper justice to the amazing work Kari & Kelsey did to my newly-moved-in apartment. Although I had done a deep purge before moving, the sheer amount of STUFF I was unpacking had me paralyzed with stress & anxiety—and honestly put a damper on what should be an exciting time! Enter these gals & they found a proper home for every.single.thing. Their thoughtfulness & attention to detail is unparalleled. If there’s a fan club, I’m running for President.
Beyond impressed by Kari & her team! They completely exceeded my expectations! They came in unpacked & reorganized our kitchen & pantry after a remodel. We felt a little overwhelmed after having to move out all our kitchen & these ladies made the organizing & decluttering look effortless. They created such a great system for tons of items in a small kitchen & pantry area! I can’t wait to use them again!
INCREDIBLE!! The team at 2B Organized Austin is amazing! They had a mess of a pantry to work with & 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 & even after the job was completed with tips & product links to stay organized. On the day of organization, the team was efficient & thorough & helped us purged so much useless stuff we had stored in there. We are thrilled with how the pantry turned out & 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!
Kari & her team came in clutch & 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 & get the job done creatively & efficiently. Highly recommend!
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 & messy space & by this afternoon, it was an orderly & functional area for all my kitchen and cooking needs. Thank you, Kari, for your organizational expertise, vision & execution! To anyone who is contemplating a similar task, Kari is your girl!
