Deb is a St. Louis native who has lived on both the East & West coasts. The tight-knit community of St. Louis, as well as family, made it an easy decision to make St. Louis home. Organizing spaces & making them pretty AND practical comes naturally to her & is something she’s done since she was a child. Her education & experience have laid a perfect foundation for her to bring 2B Organized® to St. Louis.  

Deb graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology with a major in Home Products Development & Marketing. She gained sales & merchandising experience from her time working in a home products specialty store, contemporary art gallery, as well as a luxury department store. Most recently she worked in the purchasing area of a meeting & event planning company. In addition, her love of wine took her down the entrepreneurial path as an independent consultant educating people on the Clean-Crafted wine movement. This would be the catalyst in bringing her dream of owning her own business & love of organization to life!  

Deb is a wife to an animated Aussie, mom to two precious little girls & a dog named Ozzy, who is the current ruler of the house. She is constantly decorating & redecorating spaces in her own home. She loves to travel & collects cookbooks like they are pieces of art!

• • Love/Small obsession with cookbooks! I collect them like they are art & one of my favorite things to bring back when traveling!

Amanda is eager to help clients live their best life by implementing organizing systems that work for them. Her goal is to create an atmosphere with less stress! As a wife & a full-time working mom of 2, she understands how easily a busy life can become cluttered & un-organized, which becomes a daily burden. Amanda wants to help clients by creating a lifestyle that removes the daily “time robbers” from their lives, so they can enjoy & cherish time with the people & the things that matter most.

Amanda graduated from Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 2007 with a major in Marketing & minor in Business Management.
