MEET THE OWNERS
In early 2024, a meeting at a coffee shop with a fellow organizer, which began as an attempt to re-home Margaret’s daughter's pet rabbit, resulted in a new business partnership.
Kylie and Margaret rebranded as "Organizing for Life with Well Placed Donations." Together, they combine their skills and share a deep commitment to helping clients not only organize their spaces but also use their donations to make a positive impact in our community.

Kylie Wade
Hi, I am Kylie Wade. I am the founder of Organizing for Life, which originated as I shared my home organization projects on social media but has grown into an in-home professional organization service- an absolute dream come true! I have found so much joy in transforming spaces in our home to help calm the chaos of life by structuring systems around our lifestyle. I view it as creative problem-solving and absolutely love a good challenge! The bigger the mess, the bigger the reveal and impact!
I am a mom of two wild little boys so I know a thing or two about the struggle of the constant juggle. Work demands, home maintenance, mom guilt, meltdowns and milestones. It is all so much. Luckily I have a lot of experience as a (certified) Project Management Professional working for the Tennis Channel, NFL Network and almost 7 years at Netflix. My organizational skills helped me thrive while working in these demanding and fast-paced environments and has made me a better professional organizer.
