#5 Maria White, Enuf with the Stuff

(Reverse Image Search)

Maria White, owner of Enuff With The Stuff, has been a member of NAPO and NAPO-DC since 2007 and enjoys the support and education that she has received from both. She lives in Reston and services the northern Virginia region, helping clients organize and downsize or unpack into a new home. 

Annette Murray grew up in Georgia and was naturally organized as a child. Her mom did not have to ask her to clean her room. She was a stay-at-home mom until her daughter was in school but worked some part-time gigs. She was told by friends several times that she should start her own business. Covid gave her time to reflect on what 'could be.' Her business formation began in 2020. Murray says she has learned so much from her NAPO peeps. She is a residential organizer with an ICD ADHD specialist certification and enjoys helping a richly diverse set of clients. 

#7 Janet Schiesl, Basic Organization

(Calendly)

Janet Schiesl is the owner of Basic Organization. She started her business in 2005 and it has grown to a team of 10 employees. They specialize in doing large jobs in a short time frame, so it's not unusual to pack a whole house to move or declutter and organize a 2 or 3-car garage in one day. Janet is a past president of NAPO-WDC and a past NAPO board member. Something one may not know about Janet is that she is an identical twin but she's much more organized than her sister.
