“Angela is a mighty taskmaster, at once resolute, yet compassionate. She is by my side urging me to make good decisions, helping me to be objective about inanimate objects. Much like Michelangelo felt he was freeing the forms that were already inside the stone, Angela simply chipped away all that was not a part of me.”
Finola Hughes, actress/director
“You can't expect moving to be a pleasant experience but Angela came to my San Francisco residence and assessed what we should keep or discard until my new home was furnished down to a lemon squeezer! I was not present for most of the transition and arrived to find everything in its place better than I would have done myself. I could not recommend her more highly--she makes the process almost enjoyable!”
Lyndsey Harrison, St. Helena, CA
“Angela Hoxsey helped me move from a 10,000 square foot house to a 3,000 square foot house. I could not have done it without her. She is professional, extremely organized, fast in thinking and action, wonderful to work with. While I still think that moving is the pits, she tackled it with intelligence and experience.”
Margrit Mondavi, Napa, CA
“My time with Angela has been SO worthwhile. She can create order out of chaos and has converted my big messy office into a streamlined, free-flowing and no-longer-anxiety-producing part of my world. What did I ever do before she came into my life?!”
Beth Nickel, Proprietress, Far Niente Winery
“I've worked with Angela for many years and after each session I am amazed and thrilled by what she and I can accomplish. Her ever-positive outlook is contagious and although I will never attain anything remotely close to her perfection, I never feel judged for what she inevitably comes across in my office, garage, closets, etc. She has super powers to transform an otherwise impossible, overwhelming environment to one of organized calm and joy.”
Jennifer Becker, Santa Rosa, CA
“Angela is a gift. I have referred her to countless people; all have been thrilled with her and her work. Angela has helped me prior to, and during a major move into a new home, and since then for smaller projects as well. Each time, working with her has been a joy. She is hard working, caring; and a delight to spend time with.”
Meredith Levy, San Francisco, CA
“When Angela is finished with a day of organizing I feel 10 lbs. lighter, 10 years younger and 10 times freer.”
Sharon Gillin, Piedmont, CA
“I can see my future! Angela has transformed my studio in San Miguel de Allende as well as my home in San Francisco and given me the tools to maintain them.”Masako Takahashi, artist
“Angela is combination of compassion and fierceness, helping you remove obstacles so that you can be effective in your work and happy in your life.”
Patrice Wynne, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
“Before working with Angela I had a somewhat chaotic office and home. She got me organized with repeatable systems I could apply on my own in record time. If you need help getting and keeping your physical space together, there's no one better than Angela!”
Christine Comaford, Corte Madera, CA
“Angela is all action as she transforms
a disorganized space into a beautiful, functional and enriching environment.”Melinda Kearney, St. Helena, CA
“It is a wonderful motivator to know that I have Angela in my corner, and that I am human, with a lifetime of accumulation to disperse, with respect. Spending a short time with Angela has somehow enabled and encouraged me to do what I have found insurmountable and over-whelming.”Nancy Seaver, Calistoga, CA
“There is now a huge divide in my life; there is my Pre-Angela Era and my Post-Angela Era. What she can do in a few short hours would have taken me months, years, decades to accomplish. She is worth every last penny you will pay her. Miraculously I have been able to maintain the order because her system is so easy!”
Hilary Wendel, Napa, CA
“Angela has an incredible ability to just know when I'm reaching my limit on the most taxing organizational chores and moves me on to something with a more immediate and gratifying payoff. We never stop moving during our appointments and I really feel like we’ve made huge headway in a short amount of time.”
Anne Goodrich, St. Helena, CA
“Angela’s unflagging energy, orderly mind, and organizational experience shrunk the process of getting ready for a renovation from three painful weekends to an easy day and a half. Since we had extra hours at the end of the second session, she helped me get my basement into the kind of order I never dreamed possible. She is a kind, thoughtful person who really knows what she’s doing. I cannot recommend her too highly.”
Carey Lifschultz, San Francisco, CA
“We heard about Angela from a good friend who sang her praises. We were getting ready to move and felt utterly overwhelmed. Angela saved the day and maybe even our marriage! She's respectful, thoughtful, funny and smart. And works as hard as anyone we've ever seen. When Angela walked in the door we knew immediately that we'd made the right call.”
Sue Swanson & Lisa Thomas, Napa, CA
“Angela with her incredible organizational skills came into my home and without getting rid of anything made the tiny kitchen and the insufficient closets WORK! I wake up in the morning and open my tiny closet and can easily pick out an outfit because somehow Angela knew just how to make my closet organization totally intuitive. My laundry room is a dream to work in because of Angela too....”
“Angela was so good helping me LOVE living in my new home that I hired her to help me with a couple homes in our family that had been collecting things over the last 50 years. What was a house full of storage is now a beautiful guest home again. THANK YOU ANGELA for giving my back so much control of my life and giving so many of our family treasures another life!”
