    Joanne W

    Senior Design Consultant

    When l joined ShelfGenie in 2018, I had two priorities in my own life: my five children and my aging parents. I knew firsthand how overwhelming the chaos of raising a family can be; and the importance of having a place for everything. As I watched my parents grow older, I learned how crucial easy accessibility was. I still cringe thinking about catching my mother climbing onto a rolling office chair to get something that was out of her reach I With my background in professional organizing, as well as kitchen and bath design, I know nothing is as important as a good plan to start with! This is why I love working with ShelfGenie still today! When I visit you in your home, you can trust that I will feel your pain and frustration, help build a plan with you, based off your specific needs and create a solution that is in your budget! When I am not helping transform lives with my ShelfGenie magic, I am watching my children's lives transform as they create their own familiesl Four weddings later, I have been blessed with six grandchildren and counting! Every day I am grateful to wake up and look out onto Tampa Bay, feel the warm gulf breezes, and see lush tropical landscaping while out walking my little dog, Molly.
