Debra is a St. Louis native who has lived on both the East and 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 and making them pretty AND practical comes naturally to her and is something she’s done since she was a child. Her education and experience have laid a perfect foundation for her to bring 2B Organized® to St. Louis.
Debra graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology with a major in Home Products Development and Marketing. She gained sales and 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 and 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 and love of organization to life!
Debra is a wife to an animated Aussie, mom to two precious little girls, and a dog named Ozzy, who is the current ruler of the house. She is constantly decorating and redecorating spaces in her own home. She loves to travel and collects cookbooks like they are pieces of art!
fun facts:
- Love/Small obsession with cookbooks! I collect them like they are art and one of my favorite things to bring back when traveling!
- Married to an Australian now fluent in Australian Slang.
organizing hacks:
- Decant, unbox, decant, repeat. Everything looks better when it is in a clear container and out of the original packaging. Not only that it is much more functional!
- Matching hangers a must! Space saving/non slip a plus! Makes all the difference!
Amanda is excited to bring her love for helping people to the St. Louis area! Her passion for organizing, her optimism and energetic attitude are some of the qualities we look for in our 2B team members and we know her clients will love her.
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 and a full-time working mom of 2, she understands how easily a busy life can become cluttered and 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 and cherish time with the people & the things that matter most.
Amanda graduated from Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 2007 with a major in Marketing and minor in Business Management. While marketing has been her career focus for years that she has enjoyed, Amanda is beyond excited to combine 2 of her true passions, owning her own business and helping others.

Amanda lives in Weldon Spring, MO with her husband, Brett, and their two kids. Her hobbies include spending time with her family, wine and cheese, playing volleyball, and traveling. Amanda’s favorite quote… “Create a life you don’t need a vacation from.”
fun facts:

organizing hacks:
- Store your fitted and flat bed sheets inside of it’s matching pillow case for a neater look.
- Don’t have much bathroom storage?? Use command hooks inside of a bathroom cabinet door for hanging flat/curing irons and hair dryer.
- Small pantry? Use a shoe organizer on the inside of the pantry door to store items.
words from our clients:
Deb & Amanda were amazing to work with! I love how all of the spaces turned out!
Deb & Amanda have done several projects at my home—my master closet, pantry & kitchen drawers. They transformed these spaces efficiently & gave me a framework that I have been able to follow since! I love their work & am so glad I outsourced this as I didn’t have time nor would have come up with the plan they did. Such a great investment. Highly recommend
The girls are amazing! They came walked through my house & immediately knew what needed to be done. Went through & made piles to keep, donate & throw away. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would. They packed the keep items & helped me throw out what I didn’t want.
Deb & Amanda did a great job of organizing my kitchen & bathroom cabinets & closets! I was very impressed with the finished product & it is such a game changer for our family to be able to find everything! I highly recommend 2B Organized St. Louis for all your family’s needs!
2B Organized helped to organize my basement playroom and did a great job. They made it cute and functional. I went to work one morning and by the end of my day, the basement was completed. They were so easy to work with.
Deb & Amanda are phenomenal! They helped me move from my old home to my new home. I left them to all my belongings and my new home for a weekend. I came home to the most functional and organized home! I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Super happy with 2B Organized. I own real estate brokerage business in STL. 100% would recommend to our clients. I’m very busy and my personal organization took second priority to business and other things. 2B Organized took charge and accomplished our goals in 3 days for what would have never gotten complete as quickly….maybe never ever 🙂 Highly recommend. Family and friends are very very jealous!
What started as helping me organize my garage, turned it Amanda & Deb organizing almost my entire house! They helped me so much with our pantry, kid’s bathrooms, bedrooms, playroom basement & more! I could not have done it without them! They are the best & I highly recommend them to help you declutter, organize & gain control of your house! They are helpful, fun to work with & amazing at what they do! If you want to reduce the stress in your life & home, you need 2B Organized as much as I did!
Amanda & Deb were absolutely wonderful during my move. Moving is so stressful, & I felt so much calmer/more organized knowing they were packing everything. Then, once we got into our new home, it was FABULOUS to have them unpack boxes so we could start using our kitchen right away. Would highly recommend!
Absolute professionals! They save my sanity!
Deb & Amanda were great to work with. They did a fantastic job organizing my garage & making sure it was functional. Everything has a spot now & it’s been easy to maintain. I would recommend 2b Organized STL with Deb & Amanda to anyone looking for organization!
Amanda & Deb are the dream team! So talented & creative! I would highly recommend to anyone needing to get some organization & de-clutter projects done in their home. Their work has done wonders for our home & my family!
Loved having the ladies over to help organize my basement & storage areas. The space has never been cleaner & more organized, & we are utilizing our basement space more because of the purging & organization. We’ll definitely have them come again for another project.
So happy with the finished product! Thank you ladies!!
Impressed from the initial visit to the job completed. They were able to turn my closest into a space I don’t want to just close off everyday but enjoy being in & made packing for my traveling a lot easier. Next they transformed an office/guest room closet into a completely functioning closet to stay organized personally & professionally. I can’t wait till they come back to do my kitchen & also basement. Highly recommend this team!
