Note from Our Founder

Downsizing by Design opened its doors in May 2012. Our work and ministry is not just about organizing, packing and moving, it’s personal and caring. Every person is different, so we customize our services and provide just what they need when they need it.

I am blessed and humbled to work with a group of thoughtful, caring, talented and hard-working individuals. They work amazingly well as a team, care about each other and go above and beyond to take care of clients. We would love the opportunity to serve you.

Meet Our Team

Our team has diverse backgrounds, yet united by a passion to serve with ease and grace.

Joanie

Director of Client Services

I thrive on making sure all the “nuts and bolts” of each project are clear and set up for success. I am honored to provide personalized, caring support to each of our Clients, and assure that their moves are seamless and stress-free.

Janelle

Director of Operations

I love the moment when we say “Welcome home.” That moment when the current or new space is transformed into something familiar, warm, welcoming…home.

Liz

Senior Team Leader

I find great joy in working alongside a team that serves others. The best days end with clients who have a burden taken off their shoulders. Sometimes we help a client move, while other times we support them in sorting through a lifetime of memories so a new chapter can begin.

Laura

Senior Team Leader

It is an honor to be welcomed into our clients’ homes and to be trusted to assist them in packing up their valuables and setting up their new homes. My aim is to reduce our clients’ stress by keeping things safe, simple and pleasant.
