About the Founder

Hello, I’m Athena—a professional home organizer, founder of Happier Space, and a true believer that a happier space leads to a happier life. Originally from Pennsylvania, I’ve traveled widely, lived in six states, and enjoyed the beauty of 17 national parks. Life has presented its challenges, including my journey as a two-time cancer survivor, but each experience has fueled my passion for creating spaces where people can feel truly at ease.

I’ve called Richmond, VA home for over 28 years, where my husband Greg and I raised two daughters. I am also a proud Yiayia (aka “Grandma” in Greek). My background includes a degree in industrial engineering from West Virginia University (Go Mountaineers!) and several years of experience in large-scale industrial production. This technical foundation allows me to approach home organization with a unique focus on efficiency, innovation, and simplicity — hallmarks of my home organization services.
