ABOUT US

Susie Salinas

Meet Susie

Each of my career choices-wedding coordinator, event planner, and teacher — gave me the creative freedom to organize everyone and everything. I have always thrived on to-do lists, planners, and systems!

In 2014 I started Systems by Susie, and my mission became lightening the loads of busy families and business owners so they could have more time to do what they love.

Now, I lead a team of organizers to help me on my mission. We help you go from overwhelmed to organized. How do we do this? We don’t just buy pretty baskets and call it a day. We work with our clients to declutter, organize, and create systems so their spaces stay organized and they get their weekends back. We move clients from feelings of chaos and overwhelm to relief and order. And we do it all with kindness, empathy, and zero judgement.

We have the best team around (literally…We get voted “Best Professional Organizers of Annapolis” every year!). I know it can feel scary to reach out, but you’ll be so glad you did!

our philosophy

WE LOVE A GOOD SYSTEM

We don’t just clean up and organize an area. We create individualized systems that are intuitive, sustainable, and that work with (and not against) your natural habits.

WE DON’T JUDGE

We are a judgment-free zone. We don’t judge because we. get. it. Our homes aren’t perfect. We have real families who make real messes, too. Our goal isn’t perfection, but rather setting up systems you can maintain and giving everything a specific place.

WE LOVE OUR JOBS

We are super friendly. Organizing can be fun with the right people! We love chatting as we work and are often sharing our favorite resources, podcasts, and tips on business and parenting. Transforming spaces for our clients is what we LOVE to do.

WE WANT IT TO LAST

We can train and teach your employees or the “helpers” in your home how to maintain the systems we create. We also have monthly and quarterly maintenance plans to refresh and reset your spaces.
