ABOUT
PROFESSIONAL
ORGANIZING
Professional organizing is designed to help you simplify your homes and businesses to run efficiently with style, creating more time for the things you love. Maybe you're experiencing a life transition due to a parent moving in, a blended marriage, a health limitation, or you just don’t know where to start. I can help.
My organizing services include decluttering, space planning, purging, storage solutions, staging and ongoing support to help you maintain your newly organized space. I understand that everyone's situation is unique, and I work closely with you to identify problem areas and develop practical solutions to help you regain control of your space. I’ll be with you every step of the way, providing guidance and support to help you achieve your organizing goals.
Life can be unpredictable and out of our control, which is why our homes should be a peaceful haven for recharging and relaxing, not a hot mess of stress and shame. A well-organized life can improve your productivity, reduce stress, and enhance your overall well-being. Whatever your situation, I’m here to help.
About me
Certified as a Professional Organizer by
The International Association of Professions Career College
Alicia Castello
I’m a native Texan, wife and mother with a background as a healthcare professional and small business owner. As a professional organizer I believe that form and function go hand in hand. With a focus on practicality and style, I work with individuals to help them achieve their goals, reduce stress, and improve efficiency in their homes and small businesses. My approach is tailored to each client's unique needs and comfort level, and I'm passionate about creating beautiful and organized spaces that enhance lives.
The Process
01
The Consultation
The 1 hour on-site consultation is an opportunity to meet you, evaluate your space & discuss expectations, goals & your desired level of involvement. We’ll then create a schedule, prep list and action plan!
02
Categorize & Sort
Sessions begin by sorting items into categories and determining if there are items to relocate, donate, fix, sell or discard.
03
Configure
This phase involves optimizing your space to ensure it’s both efficient and visually appealing. I’ll organize and rebuild the spaces using new or existing storage solutions.
04
Completion
We'll add the finishing touches to your project by labeling and refining. My goal is to make sure your space is not only a stunner but also meets all your expectations. Your satisfaction is my top priority!

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I’m just not sure?
Request a free discovery call. There is no obligation!
How do I prepare for a session?
Fear not! After the consultation is, I'll hook you up with a handy-dandy prep checklist to make sure we make the most of our time together.
How long will it take?
There are many factors that will affect the length of a project, including level of purging, size of the project and your availability and level of involvement. All these will be taken into account to provide a project estimate.
What if I'm embarrassed for you to see my home?
Don’t be! I am here to offer you help without any judgment. Don’t let embarrassment stand in the way of transforming your home. And with my background in healthcare confidentiality is second nature. The hardest part is making the decision to get started!
Will I need to purchase new products?
It's all about you and what you want to achieve, within your budget of course! Let's take a peek at your current setup and see if it's ticking all the boxes. I'm all for recycling and finding new uses for old things, but don't worry, I'll dish out some suggestions to freshen things up.
If new storage products are needed I will provide product recommendations and links for you to purchase and have delivered to your home. However, if there are products that need to be shopped, I am happy to do the shopping for you at the hourly rate you’ve purchased.
What will you do with items I don’t keep?
At the end of every session I will bag up trash, break down boxes for recycling and take a load of items to a donation station.
Do I need to be present for sessions?
During our consultation, we will discuss the level of involvement you would like to have, which will be adapted to your project's requirements and your preferences. If the project involves a lot of decision-making regarding what to keep, store, donate, recycle or dispose of, your availability is crucial. Please note that I will never discard anything without your permission, so you can have peace of mind.
What areas do you service?
I primarily serve northeast Tarrant County including Grapevine, Colleyville, Southlake, HEB, NRH, Keller, Watagua, Flower Mound and North Arlington.
What if I live outside your service area?
The 1st 40 miles, roundtrip is included in the fee. An additional $1/mile travel fee is added for each mile over 40.
What is maintenance?
If you require additional assistance in maintaining your newly organized space, take advantage of our maintenance services to keep systems in check. Whether it's a busy schedule or other household members that make it challenging to maintain order, I can help. I’ll return to unpackage supplies, re-work spaces as needs change, and generally keep everything tidy. These sessions are typically scheduled for 2-4 hours according to your needs.
How often should I schedule maintenance?
We’ll have to access your specific needs to determine the right frequency for you. Most clients prefer either bi-weekly, monthly or quarterly maintenance visits work best.
Are you insured?
Yes! We carry commercial general liability.
Can I purchase gift certificates?
Absolutely! Don't let your generosity go to waste. Make sure the lucky receiver is 100% on board before showering them with a gift. After all, who wants to gift a reluctant participant?
Who would benefit from a gift certificate?
- New homeowners
- New parents
- Retirees
- Teachers
- Seniors
- Those with physical limitations

Closet Organizing Tip:
Do you notice the difference?
- Consistency: To maintain a consistent look throughout your closet, use the same type of hanger. Many dry cleaners will accept your old wire hangers, so don't hesitate to recycle them. If you have any clothes on mismatched hangers, consider donating them to create more space.
- Group by Type: Categorize your clothing by type, such as T-shirts, Sleeveless, Cami's, Long-sleeved, etc. Create as many groups as you need.
- Sub-Group by Color: Utilize the ROYGBIV rule you to arrange your clothes by color. Begin with Red, followed by Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. Then, add Black, Grey, and White to complete the sequence.
Small changes can have a major impact! A quick visual scan can help you find what you're looking for. The extra minute you save can make all the difference when time is short!
Testimonials
The things they say...
“Anything I've read about organizing tells me to start with three bags for keep, donate, and toss. Well, sure, I've done this, but I still end up feeling overwhelmed. Walking through the process with Alicia showed me how to THINK like an organized person. As I followed her lead for four hours, I picked up on methods and mindsets about organizing that were entirely new to me. It's one thing to read an article or watch a TV show about organizing. It's so much better to watch someone tackle your own stuff. I'll definitely hire her again!”
-Lisa
“Having Alicia organize our kitchen, helped our family so much. With two little kids and a busy lifestyle, we need organization. The effective way that Alicia intentionally organized our kitchen has helped us so much and we have been able to maintain it.”
-Gwen
“Project Organize and Alicia Castello had a truly positive impact on our lives. Organization makes life so much easier to manage especially with kiddos and an elderly mom in the mix! We highly recommend Alicia from Project Organize and look forward to using her services again in the future.”
