what is minimized?

Minimized is a team of organizers who believe that organization is for everyone. You don’t have to be a natural organizer or live a minimalist lifestyle… you just have to choose to get started and find the habits that work for you. 

Our team will work to understand your family and their goals, coming up with systems that will help you continue living an organized life. 

By definition, minimizing is reducing the unwanted or unpleasant. Our end goal is not minimalism, but instead finding and creating the environment that allows you to thrive.

Hi, I’m Matlin!

founder of minimized


While I began my professional career as a teacher, I quickly realized my passion for creating organized environments that would promote productivity (at school) and relaxation (at home.)

I will admit, I’m not a naturally organized person, which allows me to empathize and understand our clients who are going through the struggle of not yet finding organization habits that work for them. I’ve fallen in love with the benefits of creating organized spaces & habits, and I hope that we are able to help you do the same.

Minimizing and organizing your space is more than donation hauls & purchasing bins… It's giving everything a purposeful place. It's being in control of what you have. It's creating systems that work for you. It's a lifestyle. 

While I’m now mostly behind the scenes of our projects juggling Minimized & motherhood, I love being able to continue helping our hard-working clients build an organized foundation.

After everything else you accomplish in a day... You deserve it!

meet the team.

    Her favorite spaces to organize: Pantries and closets, it's such a major transformation and can make life so much easier!

    One thing she’ll never get rid of: My UGG boots, they were my first "big purchase" when I started my own business, but I rarely wear them here in the Carolinas!

    One thing she’ll never get rid of: My airfryer is way too important to me to let go

    One thing she’ll never get rid of: I will never get rid of my old family photos albums - I cherish the memories captured in those photos!

  • becca

    Her favorite spaces to organize: I love organizing pantries and nurseries!

    One thing she’ll never get rid of: My first pair of “big girl jeans” that I got from Hollister! They have rips all over them and rhinestones on the back pockets, and I can’t ever seem to let them go. Hoping my daughter will think they’re cool one day and want to wear them!

what our clients are saying…

  • “Jaw. Dropping. Gorgeous. Is it okay to call your pantry gorgeous?! The answer is: absolutely!!! 🙌🏻 Especially after working with Minimized Charlotte. Hayley & Annabelle were SUCH a dream team! They were kind, thorough and professional. Their knowledge of proper organization and minimizing (or in my case, straight up purging) was beyond any of my expectations. 🤩 I can’t wait to have them back and HIGHLY recommend! If you’ve been on the fence about hiring help to organize, take the plunge, you’ll never regret it if you work with this team!”

  • “The girls at Minimized totally put my overwhelmed mind at ease! They were so sweet, easy to work with and accomplished so much in such a short amount of time. As a busy momma of three boys they truly were a gift. I love the results and they went above and beyond to make it just right for our family!”

    Kathleen

  • “I can not say enough wonderful things about our experience with Minimized. I used them to help combine two of my kids’ rooms and organize our nursery for our newest baby. We also had them help organize our overflowing playroom, multiple closets, and our home office. Abby was the lead organizer and knew exactly what we needed. I will continue to use them for maintenance sessions and other projects in the future.”
