Barbra Russell has an extensive background in banking as a Trust Officer. Her other careers include management of a frame store and art galley as well as manager of a resale store for a non-profit organization.
Ever since she had to weed through 50+ years of accumulation to settle an estate in the 80's, Barbra began to learn about the benefits of scaling down and organizing. Her passion has been with organizing and design. Over the years she has helped friends, family and clients with packing, unpacking, garage sales, bookkeeping, bill paying, de-cluttering, setting up and organizing home offices and living spaces to improve their function and aesthetics.
Here's are some Testimonials from my clients:
"I am a business owner in the Bay Area of California. I had the luxury of having Barbra re-organize my home office, (how can you re-organize when the organization is not there in the first place?) and she put me in a position to do a lot more business, because I could find everything I needed instantly. She immediately saw what was and was not working for me, after looking at what I was trying to accomplish and what was in the way of the productivity I needed.
It has been many years since she helped me reshape my home office, I will never forget her or find a great enough way to say thank you, but........There is not one day that I do any business, that I do not remember her, and thank my lucky stars I knew her!"
Sincerely Yours,

"Dear Barb -
I cannot begin to describe the value of your organizational services, but perhaps I can give a bit of advice to your prospective clients:
If you think it's hopeless, think about calling Barb! She's seen the worst (me!) and she triumphed over the chaos! This computer consultant is highly organized in cyberspace, but completely disorganized in the real world! With Barb's gentle guidance, I was able to easily slide into the systems she created to help me stay organized and focused. Barb's strong financial and organizational skills cannot be over appreciated! If only she would move back here!
I LOVE YOU BARB!!!!! "

"If you are looking for someone who is trustworthy, caring, dependable, professional and extremely competent, look no further, Barbra Russell is the one for you. When I moved out of the country for a couple of years, Barbra took care of all my personal and business affairs. Along with taking care of my mail, bill paying and banking, she would make sure everything was filed and bank accounts were balanced. Barbra would make calls on my behalf in regards to any personal or business matters that were at hand. Everything was handled in the most efficient and professional manner.
I would not hesitate to call upon Barbra again for her valued assistance. I promise, you will be very happy if you enlist Barbra to help in any of your personal or business needs. You will find her very easy to work with and eager to please."

"Barbra Russell has been a lifesaver to me. I'm a person who always "plans" to get organized but never do. Barbra came to my home and walked right up to my desk (which was a disaster -- at times I couldn't even find a place clear enough to write on). She just dove right in and started organizing things and going through everything with me, and she helped me get rid of a lot of things I certainly didn't need (like pens that don't work anymore, etc.) She not only worked really hard on it, but she gave me some ideas that I can use for the future. She also worked on organizing my large walk-in closet and made a big dent in that. We got rid of a lot of stuff that for some reason I thought I might need in the future (never would need it, of course). We still have more to do, but I am so very pleased with the work she has done already.
I worked with Barbra a couple of years ago in an office as well, and I know that she is totally reliable and competent and a fun and caring person to be around. I am so grateful for her help."
