I was the messy child. My cupboards were chaotic, my desk was buried in unfinished projects, and my version of tidying often meant hiding things where nobody could see them. School bags exploded into corners, and I could never find anything.
Then, as a teenager, something shifted. I became quietly obsessed with organising. Not the magazine kind, the practical kind. Where should the scissors actually live? Why does the kitchen counter always collect everything? Could a different cupboard layout solve a daily argument? Organising became my way of making sense of the world.
Years later, after being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, it all clicked. The little systems I'd been building since I was thirteen weren't about being neat. They were survival tools. They lowered the mental load, reduced decisions, and made my life livable on the days my brain wasn't cooperating.
In between, I spent twenty years as a product manager: a professional systems thinker, problem solver and translator between messy reality and useful design. I now bring all of it (the ADHD coaching, the lived experience, the product brain, the genuine love of solving practical problems) into other people's homes.
I help families, professionals and expats create homes that work in real life. ADHD is an area of deep expertise, but the approach helps anyone whose home has stopped keeping up.
