ReSPACEd, based in Portland, Oregon, was founded by MaryJo Monroe. It melds strong organizing principles with innovative design concepts to bring form and function into the spaces of Portland-metro homes.

With seven years of design experience, MaryJo knows how to make a home feel bright, spacious and warm. She specializes in creating space for a new baby by converting spare rooms, reorganizing existing nurseries and showing parents how to store baby supplies efficiently. She also works in residential organizing, staging to sell and interior redesign (design using the client’s furniture and accessories).

ReSPACEd advocates green design principles, starting by using supplies that the client already owns and keeping new purchases to a minimum. Whenever possible, reSPACEd advocates recycling or donating items instead of throwing them away. The use of plastic organizing products is avoided when practical.

MaryJo is a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers. She lives in North Portland with her husband and 2-year-old son.
