Pivot from overwhelmed to peace of mind.
Valerie Green, owner of Pivot Organizing, is a professional organizer offering in-person services in the Seattle area and virtual services globally. I set up organizing systems that make sense to you and help you stay organized long-term. My services include home and office organizing, downsizing and moves, and consulting on time management and leadership.
GET IN TOUCH
I work side-by-side with clients to understand their needs, make thoughtful decisions about what to keep, design systems that work for their lives, and provide strategies along the way to help them maintain systems long-term.
I offer in-person services in the Seattle area (vaccination required) and virtual services globally.
Home & Office Organizing
I help clients make good decisions about what to keep and then figure out organizing systems, storage solutions, and room layouts that work for their space, stuff, and behaviors. I specialize in storage systems design, small spaces, creative work, neurodivergence, paper management, divergent family members, and re-use.
Downsizing & Moves
I help people come up with goals and a plan, and coach people as issues emerge. We figure out what to keep and define new organizing systems and room layouts to meet the current lifestyle. I specialize in downsizing without a deadline, small moves, and unpacking moves.
Time Management & Leadership Consulting
I provide consulting on topics including time and task management, prioritization, leadership, team-building, career development, and meeting facilitation. I learn about what clients are doing today, celebrate what’s working already, and identify techniques to address challenges.

Originally from New York City, I now live in Seattle, Washington with my husband and rescue dogs and enjoy fitness activities, cooking, and decorating my topiary llama.
I believe organizing can be a therapeutic self-care activity that really improves quality of life. I love helping people be thoughtful about what they have and why, and setting up structures and systems that help people stay organized long-term.
More about me
I’m a member of the National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals (
NAPO), Membership Director for the
Washington State Chapter, and have completed NAPO’s Professional Practices courses.
I was profiled in the
Wall Street Journal about my personal career pivot when I started my professional organizing business.
What it's like working with me
Clients describe my approach as empathetic, non-judgmental, insightful, creative, and fun. They appreciate my ability to listen, design systems that work for their situation, and prototype solutions using what they have on hand.
“Working with Val has been a revelation: for the first time in my life, I understand what it means to “have a place for everything and everything in its place.” I not only know where things go, I actually enjoy putting them back after I have used them. The best part is that Val gets to know her clients and how they work intuitively— she doesn’t impose a cookie-cutter solution. We’ve worked together now for about a year and the results have been life-changing. Part of the secret to Val’s success is that she’s smart, empathetic, and has an incredible design background — she thinks in terms of setting up systems that will work going forward, not just making the mess go away for the moment. I feel so lucky to have found her.”

“We loved our experience with Valerie. We live in a small house and had been considering moving, but after organizing, we love our house again and don't want to move. Our house was so overwhelming with all of our stuff in a small space. She got to know us, our needs, and the layout of our house and came up with a plan to make it work. She was easy to work with, efficient, thoughtful, validating, and non judgmental. Our house is easy to keep clean now. Everything has a place and even my young kids know where everything goes and are keeping their own space clean! We can't speak highly enough of Valerie and the work she does.”

“Valerie is amazing. Having been with her for over six months now, we continue to be repeat clients as she helps with challenging tasks of identifying and removing clutter, while also reorganizing our home. The best thing about working with her is that none of this feels like a chore or a burden, but a really refreshing experience that leaves us feeling liberated and happy with an improved (de-cluttered) space. I cannot fully express how much I recommended her. If you have the opportunity to work with her please do so!"
