About

Hi, I'm Ulle.

I'm an ADHD coach with lived experience. I'm also a wife, a mother of two and an expat. I help families create homes that feel calmer, easier to manage and less overwhelming to live in. I bring deep expertise in ADHD-friendly home systems for the households that need them.

Because life is hard enough without fighting your environment every day.

Ulle, founder of Mess Happens

Growing up, I was the messy kid. My cupboards were chaotic, my desk was covered in unfinished projects, and my idea of tidying often involved hiding things where nobody could see them.

Then something changed. As a teenager, I became fascinated by organisation. I started creating systems, finding places for things and figuring out how spaces could work better.

Years later, after being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, it finally made sense. The systems I had built weren't about being organised. They were survival tools. They helped me reduce overwhelm, stay focused and create calm in the middle of chaos.

Today, I use those same principles to help other ADHD individuals and families create homes that truly support the way they live.

Why this matters to me

I'm a wife, a mother of two, an expat and someone living with ADHD. My household includes multiple ADHD brains.

I've experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to keep a home functioning when traditional organising advice simply doesn't work.

I've also seen what happens when the right systems are in place: less stress, less conflict, less time spent looking for things, and more energy for the people and activities that matter.

My approach

I don't believe organisation should rely on willpower. Most people already know what they should be doing. The challenge is creating systems that are easy enough to follow on difficult days.

My goal is not perfection. My goal is to make your home easier to live in.
