Danielle + Jeff
Jeff is a corporate lawyer. Danielle is a global head of HR. Between that and raising four kids, that doesn't leave a lot of time for moving and organizing. When they were faced with the challenge of consolidating two residences into a loft apartment in Tribeca, they called Amanda at Urban Clarity.

My "Move Doulas"
“I highly recommend Amanda. She & her team gracefully helped me through 2 moves (first was a move within Brooklyn, the other into our country house upstate). I’m a busy mom with 3 young kids and I’ve been explaining to friends that Amanda & her team were like my “move doulas”. I naively thought I could do the move on my own (my thinking was: I’m hiring movers to pack & unpack, we should be fine) and quickly realized that wasn’t going to go smoothly. Amanda came to the rescue.

We spent several days together purging, sorting, and labeling. Her team whisked my donations to Goodwill and helped me pre-pack. They also coordinated a post-reno cleaning, child-proofing, and an exterminator. I was relieved to have all this taken care of for us. On the day of the move she assembled a small army to help. They placed a Container Store order and built metro shelves so we could easily start storing things in the basement. They directed the movers, unpacked all the boxes, and put things away. They carefully arranged the kitchen cabinets (much better than I’d ever hope to and labeled so we’d know where everything was!), pantry, closets/dressers, kids rooms, and assembled and made beds so we didn’t have to worry about that at the end of the day.
All in all, it was wonderful. Just a few weeks ago, Amanda & two of her team members helped us move into our newly constructed country home. It was as equally helpful & pleasant as the first experience. The thoughtfulness and energy Amanda & her team brought were sanity-saving for me. I always considered myself an organized person, so it took a bit of “letting go” for me, but I trusted the UC team and they did a great job listening if I wanted something done differently.”

Urban Clarity Changed My Life
“Prior to finding them I was an amateur hoarder, unable to part with things and feeling heavy with the weight of too many possessions and no order to things. I started working with Urban Clarity and learned that less is more, but if you have more, having them come and organize it can make it feel like less. When my family moved, I worked with Urban Clarity to make sure I had the correct storage in place to hold everything. They helped organize my home before the move, handled a multi-stage, very complicated double move, and seamlessly unpacked me into my new home.

By the end of the move day there were no boxes left in my house and everything has a home and a space. Even my beds were made. They made what could have been the most stressful day of my life a great one. The best part is that the tools they put in for organization are still working and my house feels light and uncluttered. Thank you Urban Clarity!”

Virginia Adjusts to NYC Space... Or Lack Thereof
“I moved to NYC from Virginia where I had a large home, garage, and basement. Of course my new NYC abode did not afford me the luxury of that much space. Despite the fact that I did not bring all of our stuff with us, upon arrival and unloading of the moving truck here in NYC I soon realized I had way too much stuff. In the midst of all the boxes and much anxiety I called Urban Clarity and was relieved when Amanda said she could send organizers to help me in the morning. Within hours of their arrival I could feel my anxiety disappearing and by the end of the day my house started to look like a home and I was a new woman.

They continued to work with me for several days getting my new brownstone completely set up. They helped me realize what I could part ways with and worked with me to maximize storage while showing me creative ways for storage and organizing that only New Yorkers would know! And when life continues to pile back up and things get unorganized I pick up the phone and ask for help to help me get reorganized. I love working with Urban Clarity. ”

Two Moves in One Year
“Moving is stressful, but Urban Clarity was there to make sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Amanda was so organized that my husband left for work in the morning from one apartment and arrived home with his closets neatly organized in the new apartment! I also enlisted Urban Clarity to help me unload my mother’s apartment when she passed away. Amanda and her team helped me sort, distribute, store, sell and organize 45 years worth of stuff.
They take pride in their work, they are meticulous, and a pleasure to work with. I truly could not have tackled that project without them!”

Amanda and Her Team Are a Force of Nature!
“We first contacted Urban Clarity to help us sift through the contents of my father-in-law’s estate, much of which had “come to live” with us but wasn’t being used. She put us in touch with the right folks to donate and sell all of the unloved pieces! We were about to move, and had her look at our prior space and our new space. She gave us invaluable insights into downsizing our kitchen, creating systems to minimize clutter, and keep the chaos in check.
15 months later we’ve kept a more streamlined approach to our house and are delighted with her organizational help!”

A Last-Minute Move-In
“Called Amanda late Tuesday. We needed help because my 81-year-old Dad suddenly needed to move in—Thursday. We had the room, but it was one of our kid’s old room and it needed to be packed up (in an organized fashion) and readied for new furniture. 21 years of stuff, books, art supplies, etc. seemed daunting and almost impossible. Amanda had Gabrielle show up at 9:00am the next day and with a couple of hours of help from another Urban Clarity colleague and my son, all was accomplished by 4:15pm. Great job. Would use them again in a heart beat.”
— Adam, Prospect Heights
