“Alejandra helped me get my house and my life back in order. As a mom of 6-year-old twins, I had clutter all over the house (papers from school, backpacks, toys, etc.). I had lost a year of keeping the house in order due to breaking my leg and had to let a lot of things go. When I got back on my feet, I was completely overwhelmed with the organizing task in front of me. I tried to do it all myself. However, as hard as I tried, the systems I had researched and attempted to implement did not work very well. I became discouraged. I decided to find someone to help, a professional who did this everyday and made it her/his business to know the best storage containers or shelving units or labels for different kinds of items. Also, I needed someone to help me and support me in “letting go of the old” and simplifying my life. I took a chance and got in touch with Alejandra…I am so happy that I did. Alejandra came in, helped me to identify my priorities, and creatively helped me organize from the inside (mentally) to the outside (physically). It is difficult to enumerate all of the different ways, strategies, advice, support, and information I have received from them. It is amazing to me, that even now, after the projects are finished (mail center, filing, kitchen, pantry, children’s dress up area, craft closet, clothes closets, etc.) and time has passed, I am still clutter-free! FANTASTIC!!! My children have pictures of where things should be put back and they do it – even their friends put things back where they belong. Everything has its place and is labeled. It has made my life so much easier. In addition, I have taken the skills I learned and implemented them myself. Color-Coded is a wonderful company with creative, thoughtful organizers and I so appreciate everything they have done for me.”
Melinda Mansfield, South Riding, Virginia

“I’m a single working female in her late twenties with three cats so I thought I should be able to handle unpacking and organizing my apartment after moving into the Northern Virginia area. A year and a half later I finally did the right thing and found Alejandra. Just after the first hour of picking up my living room I knew I’d made the right choice! Throughout her visits I was able to see how I was on the right track with many things and just needed a nudge (more like kick in the pants) to get motivated. She also got me on the right track for so much more. I thought my small apartment kitchen was going to be hopeless no matter who worked on it, but she seemed to find almost double the storage space with just a few cabinet storage solutions. She was able to give me a true office area with a wonderful filing system, a hall closet that I can actually use instead of cringing about the pile of crap in it. and finally the bathroom storage that never truly existed. My bedroom is, also, now clear of all extraneous boxes of papers and random things that still hadn’t been unpacked and sorted! I now feel free to get back to some of my own little projects like cataloging my library of books, getting back to my beading, or just being able to relax without the weight of all the junk and clutter pressing in around me! I now know how to maintain my apartment in organized style, and while inevitably there will be days I back slide, I can get out of it because Alejandra showed me the way!”
Megan Struttman, Herndon, Virginia

“I love to cook so I spend lots of time in my kitchen. For years I had been dreaming of having the ‘perfect’ kitchen. I came across Alejandra through an online search and thought I’d give her a call. Within a few days I had my first consultation with her. After the consultation I knew she was the right person to hire for my project. Two weeks later I had a team of organizers (Alejandra plus her team) tackling my kitchen from floor to ceiling. After a few hours my kitchen was completely transformed – it was amazing! The experience was very similar to what you see on the TV shows – Alejandra asked lots of questions, had creative ideas, and at the end of it I was left with a transformed space. Hands down, I would highly recommend Alejandra of Color-Coded to anybody looking to hire a professional organizer.”
Retired Mother of 2, North Potomac, Maryland

“My wife and I are busy professionals- we are both doctors, but our home was in a state of chaos. Further this with the fact that we have two small children and it was the formula for ongoing stress and tension at home. When I contacted Alejandra, I was immediately impressed with her prompt response, and the meticulous attention to the details of what our home needed to become organized. Now almost six months later the organizational changes have continued and while we are not perfect, our lives have changed for the better. You will not be disappointed with Color-Coded.”
Plastic Surgeon, Silver Spring, Maryland

“Thank you so much for your expertise in all things organizing! From our first meeting you gave me confidence that a solution to my messy ways was soon to follow. I can’t thank you enough for assisting me in clearing the clutter of my work space. Now when I look for important documents I look at big clear file labels that identify the category that store the desired document. Before Alejandra I would have ravaged through piles of paperwork having to sort through random documents hoping to find the document I was looked for. As testimony to Alejandra’s compassion, care and professionalism tending to your clients best interests you recently provided me new information that will help me improve my filing so as to never need to worry about losing critical documents again. I highly recommend Color-Coded to anyone needing help with organizing their life.”
Charles Boyd, Speaker, Washington D.C.

“Alejandra did a fantastic job working with me to carefully and efficiently organize my office and declutter it. Her flexible, non-judgmental, and systematic approach helped me get rid of the piles of papers and be more productive. I finally see the top of my desk for the first time in years!”
Partner, Law Firm, Georgetown

“I love to do crafts but couldn’t figure out a way to organize all of my supplies. Alejandra helped me layout the space so I could find everything I was looking for and make it pretty at the same time. The new space looks like something out of a magazine! It’s amazing that I can now easily find everything. Clean-up is a breeze since everything has a labeled home! I was hesitant to work with a professional organizer at first (I thought I knew how to organize) but I’m so happy I did. I now wish the rest of my house were as organized as the craft room.”
Stay-At-Home-Mom, Purcellville, Virginia

“I live in a 2-bedroom condo so space is limited. I hired Alejandra to organize my closet efficiently since I was struggling for space to store my clothes. Alejandra put together a plan to rip out the old shelving and design a new one from scratch. She coordinated everything from the delivery to the installation to the organization. I literally came home from work one day and everything was complete. Being organized really does reduce stress!”
IT Engineer, Reston, Virginia

“Alejandra has transformed the way I file my life! Now that all of my documents are organized, I feel like I have more control over my personal life and business. There is no longer a stack of papers on my desk and all of my documents now have a place in my color-coded filing cabinet.”
Ariana Urdu, Small Business Owner, Arlington, Virginia

“Alejandra is AMAZING! She has awesome ideas – very inventive and unique! She was a pleasure to be around – very easy going and wonderful to work with – SO friendly! All of the ideas used in my home were so creative – she helped me get my mail organized – something I haven’t been able to do for years! Simply fantastic! I HIGHLY recommend Color-Coded for any type of organizational challenge you may have!”
Maureen Premo, IT Consultant, Arlington, Virginia

“Alejandra changed the way I use my kitchen. It is completely functional, easy-to-use and, more importantly, so simple to maintain. Hiring Alejandra was one of the best decisions I ever made. You are a miracle worker! For the first time in 10 years of marriage, I put my husband’s laundry away for him. It was soooo easy. And it is so easy to keep the bathroom and linen closet tidy. And I got perverse pleasure when I dumped snacks into the bins from the grocery store. It it heavenly!”
Ama Adams, Lawyer, Alexandria, Virginia

“Alejandra did an incredible job organizing my apartment. Everything is now put away cleanly, I have new shelves which are very helpful, and I continue to get compliments on how everything is laid out. I was originally overwhelmed by the thought of organizing my apartment in a way I wanted it, but Alejandra managed to do everything within a couple of hours, ordered all of the necessary shelves and book-cases I needed, and also had them delivered and installed at a day that was convenient for me. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend Alejandra to anybody looking for help in organizing their home.”
Peter Brosens, Dupont Circle

“Alejandra was able to help me fit my large wardrobe into my small closet. She showed me simple easy tips to organize my closet that I was able to continue even after I moved apartments. Best of all, I have continued to keep my closet organized using their tips for over a year now.”
Meryl Lubran, Capitol Hill

“Alejandra’s organizing services were a lifesaver as I was preparing for the birth of my first child. We were able to successfully de-clutter a tight space and design a system to store all of my baby essentials. Alejandra is personable, patient, and creative and she made the organizing experience enjoyable!”
Human Resources Specialist, Arlington, Virginia

“I called Alejandra to help me organize 10 years worth of stuff I had been accumulating throughout the years. Alejandra and her assistant came out to help me get started. There’s actually light at the end of the tunnel that I’ll have my home back!”
Human Resources Specialist, Alexandria, Virginia

“I would like to thank you for the visit to our school. I found it a learning experience that I will remember forever. You seemed to care much about the people that came to you and showed a strong passion towards your job. I learned that it is important for people to keep things organized. Or else, how would we have laws to pass? Or how would our government enforce such laws? Or even just finding homework for school. You explaining this job to me made me start organizing my room and binder for school better. I appreciate your time coming to my school and teaching me and all the other students such wonderful skills in life.”
7th Grader, Manassas, Virginia

“Color-Coded is more than just an organizational company, it’s the feeling of relief you get when you know the job was done right! Once everything in my closet was put in its place, I was no longer scared to enter it. It really is a freeing feeling thats hard to replace. I love being organized and Alejandra made it so simple for me to stay that way.”
Angela Pan, Small Business Owner, Falls Church, Virginia

“Color-Coded is definitely the way to go if you need to de-clutter, maximize your space, and simplify your life. I was able to keep all of my clothes in my closet, while making more space for new items!”
CEO/President, Georgetown

“I dreaded the process of getting organized but quickly realized it’s not that bad with the help of an expert. I worked with Alejandra of Color-Coded on organizing my bedroom closet and the process was actually fun and easier than I expected. I am still using the tips I learned from the organizer when I organize the other spaces in my home. Two thumbs up to Alejandra!”
Ashley Phillips, High School Teacher, Fredricksburg, Virginia

“Alejandra taught me how to organize the refrigerator and now I’m obsessed with doing it! Every time I go over to my significant other’s home I always get side tracked into re-organizing the fridge now. If one item in a certain ‘category’ doesn’t fit, I start all over because Alejandra taught me I can’t ‘mix’ categories or place things in an ‘arbitrary’ spot. I learned so much from Alejandra and would definitely work with her again. Thank you!”
Maureen Kowzan, Baltimore, Maryland

“I needed help with my messy bedroom closet and Alejandra transformed it into a work of stylized and organized art! What Alejandra promised is exactly what she delivered. It’s now been a few months and my closet is still in tact and color-coded the way it was left after my last session! Alejandra is fabulous!”
Daniella Mizrahi, Graphic Designer, Gaithersburg, Maryland

“I wanted to surprise my husband with a tidy and organized pantry for Christmas. Having used Alejandra for another huge house overhaul I called again for help. Alejandra was easy to work with and after a short explanation of what my vision was she accomplished it without me there. He was estatic when he saw everything neatly labeled and put away.”
Busy Mom & Business Owner, Potomac, Maryland

“My mother has a closet in the guest room where she keeps all of her spare gifts to give to family and friends – we call it ‘Shopping at Sandy’s’. The closet was also doubling as a home office with a small desk and computer. As an organized person, I couldn’t stand opening the closet doors and searching for something. I hired Alejandra as a gift to my mom for Mother’s Day. I worked with her to do a complete makeover of the space. The closet is SO organized now! We pulled out the desk and computer and installed shelves and drawers throughout the closet. Each shelf/drawer now holds specific categories of gifts (e.g., holiday, birthday, new baby, etc). Alejandra made cute labels for each basket and bin so now my mom knows exactly where to put things away after she shops. Alejandra inspired me to continue organizing my mom’s house that I’ve completely redone the linen closet on my own. Selecting Color-Coded to help my mom get organized was a smart decision!”
April Yakupkovic, Special Investigator, Seabrook, Maryland

“Thanks to Jody with Color-Coded Organizing, we were able to organize over four years of paperwork in four hours. Jody helped me understand what to toss and what keep while learning to how to use the Freedom Filer. She also provided me with tips on sorting daily mail, recycling, and shredding. I recommend working with Jody for help with your paper. Jody is green conscious and understanding. Thank you Jody and Alejandra.”
Sara, Washington, DC

“Alejandra was a pleasure to work with. She was very professional from the moment I first contacted Color-Coded and has been fantastic with following up afterwards. I have a small kitchen and she helped to maximize the space by giving me ideas and suggestions that I never would have thought of on my own. It feels so nice not having to dig through drawers or reach into the back of my cabinet to search for things anymore! I would recommend Color-Coded to anyone looking to get organized!!”
Meredith Clayton, Arlington, VA

“Alejandra did a fantastic job of organizing my basement storage room. Alejandra designed the space efficiently, worked with the shelving company on the order and install, cleared the room, and most importantly, put everything pack in a neat and organized manner. I have so much extra storage space now and couldn’t of done it without her.”
Jennifer, Arlington, VA

“Alejandra utilized our time together so effectively, I surely would still be in a mess if it wasn’t for her. She was super professional, personable and reasonable throughout the morning and turned my closet into what looked like a store rack! We are so excited to be able to access all of our things and 100% owe it all to Alejandra. We’ll definitely be recommending her services and hope to have her back sometime really soon to tackle other spaces.”
Serena Scanzillo, Personal Trainer, Arlington, VA

“Working with Alejandra was a wonderful experience! I was feeling overwhelmed by the disorganization in my kitchen and Alejandra listened to my needs and put a great plan into place. I now feel like a weight has been lifted!! Alejandra is easy to work with, has well thought out ideas and is very patient. I would gladly work with her again!”
