About Me
Wendy Westerfield: Professional Organizing throughout the Indianapolis area
I have worked as a professional organizer and owner of Organized By Wendy, LLC, since 2003.
In that time, I have been able to help families and businesses maximize efficiency and minimize stress by addressing the "stuff" that invades each setting. My hands on, compassionate approach means that my clients are freed to focus on what is most valuable. In a world that is often selfish and uncaring, my desire is to lead others to celebrate their skills, ultimately bringing hope to overwhelming situations. In my world, organizing is way more than just "stuff"- I want to work with the people behind the stuff!
Organizing is something I can't NOT do. My mind naturally gravitates to research orderliness, look for new ideas, listen for clues, search for solutions, and even obsess about organizing your world. Remember being a kid and acting without inhibition? Effortlessly creating and exploring? Organizing is an intuitive action that I find FUN. By letting me work on your projects, all your "stuff" will be taken care of quickly, painlessly, and affordably!
Having family members affected by Hoarding Disorder gave me the desire to understand how best to help the people we love - both the hoarder and the friends/family members who are impacted.
Why hire Wendy?
Extensive Experience
My BS/MA are education/curricular related, which provide a foundation for me to better grasp your goals and the challenges involved in meeting them. Years of counseling training (*not* licensed) and experiences mean that my approach includes great depths of compassion, consideration and even negotiating skills.
While in California, I served on the OC Task Force on Hoarding - the first of its kind nationwide - before hoarding was a mainstream concept. I love getting to know people behind the stuff, not just organizing the stuff. Every client is valuable and talented; they offer unique gifts to the world. My task is to free up the tangible hurdles that interrupt their contributions.
I Offer a Customized Approach
Every residence provides unique organizational challenges. I enjoy helping you navigate things you find challenging, pinpointing solutions, and then creating the space to implement them!
True organization helps not just with "stuff," but helps the PEOPLE behind the stuff. What are your needs? What are your goals? How is stuff inhibiting your lifestyle or getting in the way of your accomplishments? I'm here to help you remove limitations and enjoy living in your space just as you want.
A Real Transformation

A garage I helped a family reclaim - the kind of everyday space transformation I love most!
How Wendy Got Started
My brother would roll his eyes, remembering years of my Lego sorting! :) In my teens, multiple volunteer opportunities allowed me to fine tune my natural organizing abilities. Every professional position since then either included an organizational component or else I expanded the role to include organizing as a way to expedite productivity.
Decluttering? Moving? Purging? Rearranging? De-Hoarding? You're speaking my language. My name is Wendy. I'm a professional organizer based in Indianapolis, Indiana, and I'm here to help you fulfill your organizing needs. Whether you're looking to tidy up your home, garage, office, or workspace, I will work hard to make everything look & feel more organized.
