About Us

     Hi! I'm Maggie, or "Margie" as I'm know by my family and hometown friends.  And I find life is so simple and much easier when it's organized. I believe everything should have its place and no time should ever be spent "looking" for things. And since I can't seem to stop myself from organizing store shelves that I just happen to be passing by while shopping, or re-arranging the entire store's greeting cards section, I decided to make this my profession. I have a fine art background and decorating experience and love to create aesthetic spaces, as well as organized ones. I feel the two go hand-in-hand!

     I have been organizing and decorating since I can remember, from my own closets and spaces to everyone else’s. And as I've helped so many of my friends and family over the years, this is what I love and do best.

     I have always kept fairly organized myself and typically know where everything is - I just don't spend time "looking" since everything has it's place, everything is filed, everything is labeled and it just makes life so much easier... and I prefer to spend my time at the beach or lounging by the pool whenever possible :-)

     The company name "Octopus Organizing" was chosen while living near the beach in a small town on the west coast. I love the beach town vibe and I envisioned the concept of having multiple arms, like an octopus, and working very fast. I'm a multi-tasker and this seemed to fit the concept, along with a love of the beach and ocean.

     I started this busines in Aptos, CA (just east of Santa Cruz) and have since moved to Clearwater, FL. I do love to travel so I am available to service my clients wherever they need me (CA, NY, wherever!).

    Let's get you organized too... so you can spend more time at "your" beach!
