Collected Abundance - Professional Organizing

01/16/2026

New year, new you? Not always, and you're not alone. Many people are still reeling in from a transitional 2025. With a great support system, we were able to assist a mother-to-be by immediately unpacking baby shower gifts and sorting clothes by size. Hello, closet! Welcome to the world, Baby C! =)

Our owner, Julianna, loves connecting with the community through speaking! 💙

Last year alone, she had the honor of being invited to speak at six events, from seniors navigating downsizing to entrepreneurs tackling workspace chaos, and even addressing the unique organizing challenges within Asian immigrant households (a topic she explored at a Greater Austin Asian Chamber of Commerce Women's Club event).

Every group has different needs, and that's what makes these conversations so meaningful.

Looking for a speaker for your organization, podcast, or small group? Send us a direct message. We'd love to chat! =)

Today is National Organize Your Home Day!

Tis the season to finally take down the Christmas tree (no judgement of yours is still up). This week, we helped use what was already on hand, cardboard present boxes, to package away newly purchased small ornaments. Labeled and tucked inside the main Christmas tree storage box, future you will thank past you for stress-free decorating next year.

What's one organizing tip that's made a difference in your home? We'd love to hear what's working for you!

Thank you for being part of our journey. Here's to continuing to bring order, peace, and hope into homes and hearts in 2026. ✨

A day for celebration! Happy birthday to our owner and heart of , Julianna!!! 🎉💙🎁

Today, we're celebrating Julianna, the person who leads with kindness, never says no to a coffee run, and somehow makes Monday morning meetings bearable with sports talk and genuine care for the team.

Here's to another year of your leadership, generosity, and collection of random connections that always comes in clutch. Thanks for building a place we actually want to show up to. Cheers to you!

Still thinking about last week's Greater Austin Asian Chamber of Commerce Ovation Gala and all the incredible businesses that were recognized. What a night! Congratulations once again to all the winners!

Community Organization of the Year: EGBI Business Accelerator
Entrepreneur of the Year: Cristina Imperial Carl
Hospitality & Culture Award: Joi Conti
Emerging Business of the Year: Town Square NW Austin
Business of the Year: Firefly Aerospace
Excellence Award: Anh Selissen
Community Impact Awards: Tommy Hodinh and Ahmed Moledina

Your dedication and impact truly inspire. And thank you to everyone who nominated us. It was an honor just to be considered.

As professional organizers serving the caregiving space, we were especially moved to see social workers, healthcare workers, and mental health professionals in the room being celebrated. In many Asian communities, these fields, and the support they provide, can still carry stigma or be overlooked. Seeing them recognized and valued? That gives me hope for the conversations we're starting to have about wellness, support, and asking for help.

To my fellow small business owners, social workers, healthcare workers, and mental health professionals: thank you for the work you do. Supporting one another isn't just good business, it's what makes our community thrive. Cheers to continuing to serve, collaborate, and celebrate each other's successes.

Whether you or your business are considering financial giving this holiday season, consider researching local businesses in your area. We thank you for your support big or small. Happy Thanksgiving!

We are deeply humbled and honored to be nominated for the 2025 Greater Austin Asian Chamber of Commerce's Emerging Business of the Year, recognizing businesses that are at least 51% APA-owned or led, have been in business for five years or less, and have high growth and potential for continued success and job creation.

To be amongst many of the best businesses and move shakers in town. Can we say we were happily surprised?

This business has been a labor of love with the mission to bring peace and calm to those struggling with situational and chronic clutter in their homes.

This recognition means a lot to us as one of our main goals this year is to spread awareness that home decluttering support is available to our Asian community, a taboo subject crossing generations.

We were nominated by our community over an eight-week period during the Summer of 2025. Winners are selected by the Ovation Gala Planning Committee.

All awardees will be recognized at the Ovation Gala on November 15th. Learn more and join us: https://www.ovationgala.org/gaacc-business-awards

It’s finally Low-Buy July! Instead of buying new storage solutions, let's maximize what you already have. Here are 5 ways to organize your closet WITHOUT buying anything new.

1) Contain thinner clothes like shorts, boxers and camis in a shoe box
2) Use hangers you already own
3) Repurpose a hanging organizer to hold lesser used accessories like shoulder bags and scarves
4) Roll your clothes to save space (the .co method is an acceptable example)
5) Move forgotten clothes to the front or within arm’s reach for higher wear count

What organizing supplies do you already have at home?

To wrap up this month's observance and recognition of AAPI heritage month, I'd like to thank Dr. Jack Tsan of The Multicultural Counseling Institute for having me as a guest on his podcast, People of Color in Psychology. Though I am not a licensed therapist, what I do very much involves knowledge and input of psychology. With excitement, it has been my mission to reach out to the Asian community about this particular discussion as it is almost never talked about in private or public.

I was able to share my experiences working with Asian clients facing overwhelming possessions and the unique challenges observed within the Asian community, such as shame, trauma, and scarcity mindsets. We also explored the distinctions between general clutter and diagnosed hoarding disorder, discussing various tools and resources for assessing severity and supporting those in need. Additionally, the episode touches upon the emotional roots of hoarding and the importance of cultural sensitivity in addressing this issue.

This is only the tip of the surface of this topic, and one I would love to continue the conversation of. Please have a listen! YT is provided with captions.

Congratulations to Austin Creative Reuse for reaching their 3 MILLION pound donation accomplishment! It is a testament to YOU, my clients, for helping make the mark. Cheers to history made!

Cue the confetti! 🎉 Austin Creative Reuse hit a momentous milestone today: we diverted our 3 MILLIONTH pound of creative materials from the landfill! That's the equivalent weight of 300 elephants! 🐘

Thanks to the tireless efforts of our staff, volunteers, and generous donors, Austin Creative Reuse has officially diverted 3 million pounds of materials from the landfill. That’s right—3 million pounds saved from waste and given a second life through creativity and community. Behind every pound saved from the trash is a human hand, a thoughtful decision, and hours of behind-the-scenes work to give that item a second life.

We are so grateful to all of our amazing staff, volunteers, and community members that played a part in making this happen. Our 3 millionth pound was donated by our incredible Core Volunteer, Julianna, of and this photo of some of our staff with our celebratory cake was taken by another incredible Core Volunteer, Jen, of ❤
