Welcome to Melissa Gugni Organizing

Your key to organized living in the San Francisco Bay Area

I’m curious—what is holding you back from living your fullest, most authentic and most expressive life?

For many people, it can be their environment. Whether you commute home at the end of the day or work from home and spend most of your day in your environment, logging off from work just to dive into an afternoon packed with kids' schedules and other responsibilities can be overwhelming. This feeling is exacerbated when your home is disorganized, unstructured, and stress-inducing.

There’s a better way to live. Let me help you get there.


HEY THERE, I’M MELISSA

As a mom, a 20+ year resident of San Francisco and a lifelong entrepreneur with two brick-and-mortar locations in the Bay Area—shout out to Union Larder and Little Vine–I’ve felt the strain of the family/friends/work/home struggle. My saving grace? Always being able to come home to a place I love to live in.

I want to give you that ‘kick back at the end of the day’ carefree feeling, too. 


JUDGMENT IS NOT PART OF MY OPERATING SYSTEM

I understand that our homes can sometimes be at the bottom of our to-do list. Or that the ‘quick fix’ Container Store bins you thought would solve it all just became additional clutter because you didn’t have a system in mind when you bought them. 


You aren’t the first to feel frustrated with your spaces. I help you release those frustrations and restore structure and simplicity at home–judgment-free.


As a professional organizer, my clients feel heard, accepted for where their spaces currently are, and supported as they restructure for a better way of living.

It’s time your space reflected everything you always imagined it would.


A DAY IN THE LIFE, MELISSA’S VERSION

My husband Jay and I are partners in our brick-and-mortar businesses. Our family is rounded out with our son and tortie cat, Pickles. When I am not juggling the three businesses, you can find me doing yoga, cooking, traveling, or simply spending quality time with my family. 

You’ll also probably find me organizing and reorganizing my own home, because practice makes perfect (ish), right?

CONVERSATION STARTERS

Because organizing with a stranger can feel intimidating, let me break the ice and share some fun facts.

  • My hometown is Beverly Hills…Michigan (let me show you where that is on my hand)

  • I earned my organizing stripes from living in small spaces worldwide

  • I’m Italian–with no first cousins–I’ll let that sink in

  • I believe in serendipity–I met my husband in Prague and then randomly three years later in Australia–the rest is history

  • My brain is exceptionally good at two things: organizing and being a vault for song lyrics
