At Happier Space, I blend my engineering skills with a deep respect for my clients’ personal stories. I design thoughtfully organized spaces that are easy to maintain and tailored to each person’s lifestyle. For me, organization is more than tidying up, so whether you're seeking a calm, functional home or an efficient workspace, I offer personalized home and office organization services in Richmond, VA to support your unique goals.
I believe that every belonging has a story and that organizing is not about judgment but partnership. I meet my clients wherever they are, helping them declutter and rediscover their spaces in a way that feels personal and empowering. With Happier Space, I aim to give each client more time and room for the things they love most.
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.
