What can I say, this woman is amazing! She can walk into a room and see immediately how to balance the space. Her taste is impeccable yet realistic and she is extremely EFFICIENT. She just doesn't waste any time! Heather was a great listener, while helping us with our massive remodel. She incorporates the rules of design with your own style (not just her tastes) while kindly steering you away from potential design disaster (had you gone with some of your more outlandish ideas!) Whenever my husband and I would come to her with opposing design ideas, she'd listen carefully then explain how the rules of design applied to our ideas. This information easily settled our disputes and took the emotion out of our decisions. I can't recommend Heather highly enough, she's smart, funny, has a great personality- our whole family enjoyed having her around. read more

I highly recommend Heather, so if you are in need of organization with design in mind, reach out to her. I first contacted Heather when I was pregnant 6 years ago. All of the baby paraphernalia coming into my home was overwhelming. One of our key projects was designing the nursery closet with a custom shelf system, which is still functional today. As a mother of 5, Heather shares a wealth of information on how to organize a home, and make it aesthetically pleasing. About every 2 years I ask for Heather's help on a new project. Heather is very efficient, and each hour with her we accomplish so much! If you are on the fence about working with an organization and design professional, call Heather! read more

Heather is amazing. She has great taste and is very knowledgeable. She helped us with a large home remodel and it is beautiful. She listens to you, is respectful of your preferences in taste, and clearly explains various choices and what will work together, what won't, and why. She's extremely efficient, organized, and fast. She's a pleasure to work with. read more

All encompassing help--from remodel advice to decorating and organizing with function in mind. I knew Heather when I lived in CA, and she did wonders for my home and life! After living out of state for a few years, I was moving, so I hired Heather prior to the move to not only to organize but help design my new home prior to a remodel all the while thinking of function and design. Her insights, direction and skills teaching was just what I needed. Not only did she see my current set up and organization, she collaborated with me on a full kitchen remodel as well as paint colors and furniture for every room in my home. She always had function and purpose at the forefront, but she never forgot about design and keeping with the styles I liked. This is a true talent she has, as my experience with interior designers is they will suggest beautiful designs and forget the function and organization. She taught me skills that are universal and can be applied to many organization and function issues found in my home. So maintaining my remodeled, beautifully organized home has not been as hard as I thought. Although the thought of all of this was quite overwhelming in the beginning to me, Heather could address issues at hand, set goals and priorities and get me back on track when I strayed. Her help really was priceless during the move and getting our family off on the right foot. read more

It has been a pleasure working with Heather. I can't thank her enough for putting an end to the chaos at my house with a baby and toddler. She's very easy to work with. She's efficient with time and is very hands on from start to finish. I've worked with an organizer before to get rid of stuff from my house when my son was born. What Heather did differently was that she put systems in place that I could easily follow. She works around the systems we already have and try to make it more efficient. Both my husband and I are so impressed that we're able to keep our house tidy in just a few minutes instead of an hour each night. I no longer have to stay up all night cleaning the house. She reorganized my entire kitchen, pantry, laundry area, play room. She rearranged furniture in our family room to provide more space and less clutter. She understands family dynamics very well especially providing a safe and learning environment for kids. The first thing my son said when he came home after Heather rearranged his play area, "Mommy there's space!". He's enjoying playing with his legos and trains in and able to easily clean up after himself. Even my son loves that there's a learning corner in our family room and he can access his puzzles easily. Heather would bring everything to be donated with her and provide me a receipt on our next session. That in itself saves me a lot of time and energy. She never leaves without tidying up the area we are working on. She cheers me on every time I give or throw something away that it makes it easier to purge. She's very good with design as well which we didn't have with our previous organizer. She gives suggestions on how to have a cleaner look on our walls and living areas. My husband and I are enjoying our home again. If I ever move to another house, I'll hire Heather again in a heart beat. My husband refers to hiring her as money well spent! read more

Heather is great at helping to clear space and clutter to have more Focus. Felt like I had a coach, we did great went by fast an it was fun. She helped me accomplish so much of what I've been needing to do. She also arranged the furniture to a much better flow and we had time to talk about organization skills fresh ideas and how to apply it to my life. read more

Heather is the best! I am so happy that I found her! I tried several different interior designers and wasn't happy with anybody until I tried Heather. She was able to walk right into my house and start telling me what I needed to do as far as furniture placement and decorating ideas. I like that she is willing to do as much or as little as I want/need her to do. We have gone shopping together to look for rugs, throw pillows, etc. Sometimes she just comes for a quick visit to see if something that I bought works in my space. When I have questions, I send her a message and she always gets back to me. We have been working together for months now, as I am taking my time getting my house how I want it to be. Heather has gotten to know my style and has helped me to make my home beautiful! I highly recommend her for interior design needs. read more

I've never worked with an interior designer before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was so lucky to have reached out to Heather first because it was a great experience! I would recommend having some high level ideas about what you want and what your goals are for the conversation. She'll drive the discussion but make it clear if you don't like something or disagree with her direction she wants you to let her know. I'm really excited to dive into this project we discussed and look forward to continuing to work with her. Also this was all over video conference due to Covid-19 and it was just as easy as if she was in the room with me discussing our ideas! read more

Heather is awesome. My mom found Heather's great Yelp reviews about a year ago and suggested that I contact her. I am so glad that I did. Heather and I have worked together for over 24 hours to tidy up our home. She is an excellent sounding board to help you figure out what to keep, toss, and donate. She has a knack for organization. She's offered countless suggestions, that we then implemented to help make our spaces more usable. Even as we have gotten the bulk of our tidying work done, I continue to work with Heather to refine the spaces that tend to accumulate, such as kids toys. Heather shares her wealth of resources and also has great decorating suggestions. I highly recommend Heather for your organizational needs. read more

We've lived in our home for the last 26 years and have raised 5 children here! As you can imagine, there is a lot of 'stuff', and sadly I can't say a lot of it is from my children!! Sometimes you just don't know where to start, and feel overwhelmed and just try to ignore the goal at hand. Being 'empty nesters' now, we felt it was time to consolidate, purge organize and simplify. Heather was the perfect person to assist with this daunting undertaking! She doesn't hesitate a bit to just dig right in! She does this with patience, an understanding & empathy knowing that some of your 'stuff' has sentimental value and is hard to part with. I love how she made piles...piles to keep, toss, give to charity and most of all how to organize the items we chose to keep the most. She's knows just what to do!! I will forever be grateful to her for being such a great partner as we dug thru so, so, many things. I now know where everything is...there is a place for it all and room to spare. I feel a feeling of such satisfaction and accomplishment and way more productive in my life with organized surroundings! I would HIGHLY recommend Simple Order at Home and Heather without a moments hesitation. You will NOT find a better person to help you simplify your life! read more

Wow! I was not sure what to expect by having a professional come to help with my home project, but Heather Jackson with Organize to Design in Cambrian Park, SJ exceeded my expectations!! She traveled to my home and did not waste any time. She started working right away to help me figure out how to improve my space and make it more functional and easy to maintain, less cluttered, and free from obstacles that were holding back our busy family. She took into account the flow between rooms, furniture (need and elimination.) All while taking into account, the personality of the clients (me - who fancies antiques, shabby chic, refurbished pieces, and sentimental memorabilia) I felt Heather shared her skills and expertise in a way that added value and made the items more meaningful that were selected for each area. We eliminated two bookshelves (books too) that made my rooms expand and feel more airy. She put collections together to highlight their uniqueness and made "less showcase more. She helped me to learn what items are to be the focal point and how to remove outdated or things that were not our favorite to keep the items that hold the most connection for us. Her interior design knowledge was utilized to accomplish all of that and yet left my home feeling welcoming and put together in a way I haven't been able to appreciate in a long time. Thank you Heather, I will definitely utilize your services on my next home project. I highly recommend this as a resource for others. read more

I have worked with Heather for a year now. She has been a godsend. Through her organizing and decluttering help, she has streamlined so many of the activities (cooking, paperwork, cleaning, projects) in our family's busy life. She has gotten to know the different personalities and needs of all family members, and worked well with each of us - including my two children. She is a joy to have in our home - calm, focused, kind, nonjudgmental, proactive, and solution oriented. Thank you, Heather, for transforming my home into a functional, calm, welcoming space! read more

Heather is the best! When I first contacted Heather for a consult I was unsure of what to expect, but her warm and friendly personality put me right at ease. We needed help getting our home up and functioning for our family. Heather has been amazing from the start. She has been supportive, positive, and patient with us. Every question has been answered in great detail and never ignored. Our house is finally starting to feel like a home instead of a place where we haven't completely settled in yet. I highly recommend reaching out and contacting Heather for organizing and designing needs. read more

I found Heather on yelp when I was stuck with making changes to my home interior after 15 years since my remodel. My goal was to redesign using the same furniture, add new paint wall colors, plus preparing the house if we decide to sell within the next three years. Heather was great! She made recommendations to remove furniture that I didn't necessarily need and was collecting dust, items that were given to me as gifts which I felt obligated to show, plus photos everywhere. I took her advice on rearranging the furniture and removed the items recommended. In addition Heather recommended a colorist that helped with selecting paint colors and with all these changes my home looks new, updated and is not cluttered. When my kids came to visit, their comment was that I should had made these changes earlier! It's been great working from home these past months as my mind is clear and I now enjoy staying at home. I definitely recommend Heather if you're needing a change or need assistance with your interior design projects. She's warm, fun, and provides great customer service, plus talented - Heather knows her stuff! read more

Heather is amazing! I booked her for 12 hours to help me get set up in our new home. I don't consider myself to be particularly unorganized but I was looking to get a fresh perspective on how to establish effective systems, especially with a growing family. In just two days Heather helped me with so many things, including streamlining my bathroom organization, revamping my filing system for the long term, and encouraging me to take a good hard look at my little greeting card hoarding habit (I threw ALMOST all of them away!). She has a great flair for design and totally spruced up and beautified our crowded living room bookshelf. I had so much fun working with her and wish she could come over every week to help me with fun house projects! 100% recommend. read more

I have always been a skeptic about someone coming into my home to help me organize. Some of my doubts included: 1- They might not hear me and respect my boundaries (throw anything out) 2- They won't understand my system of doing things (pushy with how they do it) But when I met Heather and she offered her services, I decided to give it a try. I was completely surprised with the whole experience and it was very positive! I told all my friends and family that the experience was amazing and that she helped me confront problems, disorganization, and ruts that I could not see through until she stepped in. She respected my voice and was very personable, non-judgmental, and understanding. She helped me spread my wings and find peace and liberation in home organization. She helped me maximize what resources I already had, taught me some daily quick tips on how to stay organized, gutted out and organized the scary problem areas, and even had ideas on styling up my home! We had a lot of fun and got tons done all while making me feel empowered as the keeper of my home. I would highly recommend her! read more

Heather is wonderful! She is a pleasure to work with, and makes organizing fun. She spent a lot of time talking to me so that she understood how our family uses each room. She then found ways to make each area more efficient and put easy to follow systems in place. I am really thrilled with the work she did in my kitchen. She really thought about the flow of the kitchen and where it made sense to store everything. Simply by rearranging and grouping some items, she opened up several drawers and cabinets for more storage space. I love feeling like everything is clean, organized and close at hand. She is easy to work with because she is kind and a good listener. I very much recommend Heather and Simple Order at Home! read more

The work Heather has done at our place has been nothing short of amazing. She doubled our kitchen counter space, completely re-organized our closets, and somehow made our study orderly. Cleaning is much easier and less stressful now that there isn't so much crap in the way. Heather is also incredibly easy to work with, she's firm but considerate with her recommendations and always listens to what we have to say. Highly highly recommended. read more

I have had Heather come to home several times in the past few years. I have lived in 3 different houses and in each one she was able to help me out a lot. She first helped me re-do my whole entire kitchen and made it much more functional. She is very thoughtful and puts a lot of time and energy into making systems work. She has helped me organize my desk area and reduce a TON of clutter and my laundry area as well as my walk-in food pantry. She knows how to help customers "let go" of things that they just really don't need in their lives anymore. I have seen her in action with another customer as she cleaned out the entire garage over the course of a few weeks and it looks amazing. She is very fun to work with and a really good person to be around. If you are thinking of using a personal organizer... Heather is your girl!!!! read more

When I moved to San Jose a year and a half ago we downsized our home and I was in trouble...I had too much stuff for such a small space! I tried to edit and get rid of items we weren't using, but I was getting nowhere fast on my own. Heather came over and helped me understand not only the things I needed to get rid of, but also how to maximize the space that I have. Not only is Heather an organizing queen, she also has a great eye for style. As part of our consultation she gave me tips for rearranging my furniture as well as finding great accent pieces. Heather's organizing help in my home has been priceless. read more

It was nice to finally have a professional come to my house and help me redecorate and purge unwanted and unneeded clutter. What's even nicer is to have someone like Heather because she is very passionate and enthusiastic with what she does. She was very helpful getting me organized and getting rid of stuff that I should've dumped long ago. Dated things that I held onto far too long. She worked with me on rearranging my decorations but made sure that it was my style and not hers. She has great ideas but doesn't insist on her style. I would definitely recommend Heather to my friends and family and whoever needs help decorating, organizing or just rearranging. read more

Heather is a treasure! I started working with her after our nest emptied and just before a major remodel. She and I quickly established a strong rapport. It has been so much fun to work with her because she's a clear communicator and she really knows what she's doing. She comes into your house--explores your goals, develops a shared understanding of the approach she would like to take and then the work begins. By the time we were ready to start our remodel, our belongings had been sorted and packed or discarded. After the remodel, Heather helped me to unpack and organize the kitchen and garage. She also provided design services. She has a strong eye for aesthetics. Now, when I walk through my house, I feel such a strong sense of peace, happiness and pride in the beauty, lack of clutter and organization. My house makes sense now and looks really good! As others have said, Heather creates systems that enable you to create flow in your home. It is with great pleasure that I give Heather my highest possible recommendation! read more
