Hi! I’m Kristen, the organization aficionado behind Simple Spaces.

Organization is my passion. I am inspired by the way a user-specific system simplifies our daily routines and maximizes day-to-day efficiency all while improving a space's aesthetic and making things easier to find (even in a house with three kids, three dogs, and soccer practice in ten minutes).

Organization has always been a part of my life, so it's no surprise to many that I've ended up here. When I was 10 years old, I took the initiative to move all my three siblings and myself back into our bedrooms and closets after a home renovation. A few years later as the neighborhood babysitter, parents were elated to come home to sleeping children and pantries, catch-all drawers, and hall closets freshly-organized.

After college, I focused my gift for creating order and emphasizing detail into a career of corporate meeting production based in Chicago. I produced large-scale live events all over the country for over 15 years, while organizing the homes of friends and friends-of-friends on the side. We made the move to Naples in 2011, and, well, life happened. I married my best friend and we had three amazing kids and added three dogs. Despite working as a full-time executive producer and raising my family, my passion for organization never subsided.

When our homes became our sanctuaries in 2020, I made the decision to leave the corporate world and return to what I love. Life is chaotic, messy, stressful and busy. It's everchanging. That is never going to change, and it’s what makes life so beautiful.

As a homebody at heart, I believe that our homes should be the place we feel most comfortable, which is my goal for each of my clients. With each project, my mission is to create a maintainable, functional, and beautiful space that only contains what you need and love...
