Today we’d like to introduce you to Jennifer Guadron-Wyatt.
Hi Jennifer, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
My name is Jennifer Guadron-Wyatt, owner of J’Arrange Your Space, LLC and I have lived by the mantra “An organized home is organized life” for my entire life and believe in its power wholeheartedly. Growing up, I regularly assisted my mother with household cleaning & chores, and always sought ways to create systems for consistency and order. I wanted simplified ways to control my space & belongings from a young age, without ever letting them control me. It was through these repetitive habits that my love for the home organization was born. Over the years, I continued to live by that mindset and created a life that brought me comfort and clarity. I believe that keeping my home & office in order creates a pathway to focus on what really matters most to me: family, health & peace of mind.
It was also important that I share this method with others so they too, can gain control over their home and life. Organizing a space really does have an immediate effect on your mental, emotional, physical, and even spiritual well-being.
I launched J’Arrange Your Space, LLC in 2020 as a way to connect with clients in the DMV community and share my love for organization, styling, and creating solutions for success. I understand that getting organized is easy; however, staying organized requires discipline. As a professional organizer, I want to collaborate with my clients to help them achieve their goals and bring that sense of calm & pride to their homes, without the anxiety of doing it alone. My goal is to develop custom systems to best serve clients and their families with a judgment-free, confidential, and supportive approach while recognizing this as a valuable, long-term investment into your peace of mind. It has been an absolute blessing and privilege to serve my Baltimore and Washington, DC metro area neighbors.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Launching a business during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic definitely presented challenges to all businesses, but especially small businesses like mine. At this time I had to get creative and flexible on the services I provided to clients being many were reasonably hesitant to have guests in their home working. This is where my virtual organizing service option was born; connecting me with clients via Zoom to offer my guidance and coaching to get organized. The best part is that this is all from the comfort and safety of their home. Virtual services also enabled me to connect with clients in other states and provide the support they needed, which was amazing and helped me expand my brand and reach.
I also faced staffing challenges during this initial time as a small business. It was and actually still is in 2022 difficult to secure trustworthy, reliable team members that have the skills and patience for home organizing. I’m sure other small businesses can relate; staffing is no walk in the park for sure, but as leaders, you push through and find a solution, versus complaining. There are always lessons in the struggle and, how I have learned!
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
J’Arrange Your Space, LLC specializes in home organizing and interior decor services. The goal for my team and me is to help you fall in love with your home again by creating calm and removing the chaos. Oftentimes, our homes have more than enough space to live comfortably, we just have too much stuff! We take a collaborative approach when working with our clients in that we want to carefully review all items in a particular space and coach you through thinking about what you have, what you actively use, and what you love.
Anything that doesn’t bring you joy and good vibes doesn’t need to be in your home and we work with you to establish new lifestyle habits to sustain this work long-term. I am most proud of the decluttering and organizing work I have done for clients that have completely changed their life! Sometimes we meet our clients when they are in a place of stress, burnout, and depression in their home. Nothing is more fulfilling than helping someone out of that dark space by rethinking their daily habits, investing in their peace of mind, and living by new sets of rules to see the possibilities.
Are there any important lessons you’ve learned that you can share with us?
One of the most valuable lessons I have learned since being in business is that you don’t know everything and you never will! I live by the values of always being open to learning something new and learning how to do things better. I have learned so much from my clients over time that I have instilled in my best business practices through feedback, recommendations, and praise.
As a certified project manager, I know that every home is unique and the requirements for each project will be different, that is what keeps my team and I on our toes and constantly evolving. I have also learned never to be in competition with anyone, I embrace and support the small circle of organizers and designers in this region. What’s for you will always be for you, no need to compete. Lift others up and congratulate their wins and someone will do the same for you along your journey.
