How we got started
Since 2018 Drawer by Drawer has been servicing Houston and the Dallas areas. Angela however has been organizing since she was in elementary school. Growing up with a mom that was very tidy and meticulous she performed weekly room checks, Angela learned at a young age the importance of having an organized room and space. Early in her teens she learned to love design and space planning. She was often up late at night redesigning her bedroom. Her parents who were avid entertainers would have people over and Angela was always finding interesting pieces or items in nature to decorate the table to create a perfect setting. After graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management, she set out to pursue a corporate career, in her various positions she always ended up organizing the office, employees spaces and creating systems to better handle data so it was easily accessible. Leaving the corporate world behind in 2004, Angela pursued some various endeavour's but somehow ended up back at organizing and staging. She loves her clients and getting to know their families and helping to improve their lives through order. Drawer by Drawer seemed like a perfect fit.
Being organized isn't about getting rid of everything you have or trying to become someone else. Our passion for organizing coupled with our expertise in the latest methodology ensures our clients receive the highest level of service.

FAQ
Here are a few FAQs and useful answers to help you on your way to an
organized home and life.
Am I expected to get rid of all my stuff?
Of course not! Getting organized does not mean throwing everything away. Getting organized means reorganizing your items to find a better solution and system that work best for you. When you decide it’s time to get organized and call in a professional, you are probably ready to let go of some of the items that you no longer want. You can choose to donate, sell, or recycle some of your unwanted items. We will help you with all of these decisions.
What do I need before you get here?
Its best to have some garbage bags on hand, cleaning solution and some paper towels as we will be cleaning as we work. When we get to your home we will sit down with you and comprehensively decide what steps we need to take. We understand that it can be difficult to let someone into your home, but please don’t clean up before we get there so we can get a true sense of your living space and are able to find a system designed especially for you.
What is my space is too overwhelming for someone to organize?
Your home will never be too overwhelming to organize. When we walk into your home we can see through any clutter and already have ideas of what the end results could look like. There won’t be a situation that can’t be addressed, but if your specific situation is not in our area of expertise, then we may ask for assistance from another Professional Organizer in your area.
Why should I hire a professional organizer?
If it is a challenge for you to keep your house organized and it is affecting any aspect of your life, it may be time to ask for help from a professional organizer. If you cant find things, or don't know how or where to store items, we can help. Your home is where your heart is. It should be a place for relaxation at the end of the day. When someone wants improvement with any area in their life and doesn’t know where to begin, it’s perfectly acceptable to ask for help. Remember, organizing is what we love to do. It is our goal to bring peace and happiness back into your home.
Will my time with the professional organizer be kept confidential?
Any of the work we do together will be kept in complete confidence. Starting from our initial phone call to our in-home consultation and any sessions that follow.
Should I be there during the organizing process?
It could potentially be very helpful if you are present during the organizing. Although, we understand that in today’s day and age that it can sometimes be hard to find that extra time. So, if it is not possible for you to be present, we can work off of our comprehensive notes in regards to your project.

Angela is amazing. She has organized my master closet, master bathroom cabinets, guest bedroom closet and office closet in my house. “Small, but mighty” truly describes her. Her mind is always clicking on the next step, no hesitation. In addition to having the gift of how to organize, Angela will be a friend for life to me. She is quite a unique gal!!!

Drawer by Drawer was efficient, compassionate and focused. It only took a little over three hours to clear, clean and organize my garage. Well worth every penny! I've already scheduled another job with Angela and will have another one after that.

Review by Marie C. in Houston, TX
Hired Drawer by Drawer to help my sister with her home organization. They were fantastic! Angela worked non-stop from what I hear and got an amazing amount done.
My sister was thrilled with the results and inspired to continue organizing their space. They worked with the family to come up with solutions that fit and were helpful with encouraging them to let go of items that others could use. Even though I was not in Houston, Angela communicated with me to let me know the plan and progress. It was money
well spent.

Review by a homeowner in Missouri City, TX
Angela was awesome. She helped me get my sewing studio cleaned and organized. She hauled away all the stuff we got rid of. She was on time for both of our meetings and was excellent with communication. If you need to get organized, I highly recommend Angela. She worked hard, moving stuff around and carrying bag after bag of stuff downstairs. Hopefully, I won't have another decluttering project for a while, but if I do, I will certainly call her again.

Review by a homeowner in Jackie O. Houston, TX
Hello Everyone, I HAVE to give a review about Angela and her incredible talent as a home stager and organizer. If I could give her a 10 I would as she more than deserves it. I can tell you that there is NOBODY that is better in Houston than she is. She can see how things need to be done, and how it will look when it is finished. She works alone or with you if you prefer to be involved in the process. I used her incredible talent to help organize a very small condo, and then when I moved out, I called her, first thing, to help me again in my new place. I don't know how she does it, but I would not call or use anyone else but her, Please call this extremely talented woman to help get your life in organized perfection, you will never regret it.
