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!

So happy with the finished product! Thank you ladies!!
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!
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!
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.
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!
Deb & Amanda were amazing to work with! I love how all of the spaces turned out!
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!
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.
