Stephany Johnson

Professional Organizer

Stephany thrives on a challenge and finds real satisfaction in creating order out of chaos. With a background in human resources management, operations, recruiting, and training, she brings a strategic, consultative lens to organizing and household systems.

After years managing projects and people, Stephany now channels that expertise into helping clients simplify, declutter, and optimize their homes. As a mom of three, she understands how quickly life (and things) can accumulate, and how transformative well‑designed systems can be for a busy household. Her focus is on creating scalable systems that are easy to maintain, built to evolve, and aligned with how people truly live.

When she is not working with clients, Stephany loves spending time with family and friends. She recharges through yoga, walks by the reservoir, exploring new destinations and restaurants, reading, playing sudoku, and relaxing with a good puzzle.

Stephanie Chadwick

Professional Organizer

Attention to detail and efficiency have always been second nature to Stephanie. A former interior designer, she brings a strong sense of color, proportion, and design systems to every organizing project she touches.

Stephanie is particularly skilled at creating systems that work for busy families because she has built and refined them in her own home. Having moved across the country three times with her family, she has relocation preparation and unpacking down to a science and brings that expertise to An Organized Life’s relocation clients.

When she is not organizing, Stephanie is managing life with four kids, cooking up a storm, or relaxing with a movie. A regular blood donor, she finds deep satisfaction in simple acts that make a meaningful difference.

Jillian Rosenbaum

Professional Organizer

Jillian’s passion for organization runs deep. She begins every project with a clear vision yet remains flexible, refining and enhancing the plan as she learns more about each client and space. At An Organized Life, she finds joy in the “deep exhale” clients experience when they move from stressed and cluttered to calm and confident.

With a degree in fashion merchandising and training in event planning, Jillian has planned everything from toddler birthday parties to fundraising galas. As a former manager of a major accessories showroom in New York City, she honed her ability to blend form and function, skills she now uses to create organized spaces that are both stylish and highly practical.

Jillian loves traveling the world and watching sunsets with her family. When she is not organizing, you can find her playing with her two boys, taking a workout class, collecting home décor inspiration on Pinterest, or reading a great novel.

Marianna Whitson

Director of Operations & Business Management

Marianna brings a love of planning, systems, and beautifully organized spaces to her role as Director of Operations & Business Management. She delights in simplifying and streamlining anything that makes life and household management more efficient and easeful.

At An Organized Life, Marianna combines her operational expertise with a warm, relationship‑driven approach. She takes time to understand each household’s values, rhythms, and decision‑makers, then designs organizing and process solutions that reflect those realities. Her sweet spot is supporting families and small businesses with an eye toward both function and design.

Before joining An Organized Life, Marianna worked in advertising, where she managed and digitally organized large volumes of photos and assets; experience she now channels into space planning, organizing, and visual systems.

Marianna lives with her husband, two elementary‑aged children, and their pup. In her “spare” time, she runs a personal business, plays tennis, performs in community theater, plans memorable birthday parties, and keeps her young family well‑fed and mostly on schedule.
