Community Highlights: Meet Rivka Davidowitz of Organize It

Today we’d like to introduce you to Rivka Davidowitz.

Hi Rivka, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
The idea of Organize It started nine years ago when I lived in Brooklyn, New York. I had just gotten married and as this new chapter of my life was starting I wanted to put all of my energy into figuring out what my passions were. The first thing that came to my mind was organization. It is something that I have loved to do since I was a kid, but the problem I was initially faced with was that I was going into a field that didn’t really exist at the time. Nevertheless, I didn’t let that stop me and I started building up a portfolio that I eventually uploaded onto Instagram. I created my own website and things we’re doing really great from there. My husband and I knew that we were always going to make our way back to California (I’m from San Diego) and that New York wasn’t our permanent home. As our family was growing we decided this was the perfect time to pack up and move to Los Angeles. That meant that the network that I had been building for the past five years was going to completely change. I decided to look at the positive side of this and used our move as an opportunity to rebrand my entire business. Make it more personal and show more of me. I met amazing people out here in Los Angeles and thankfully a lot of clients that I have are from word of mouth. I really focused on my social media, specifically Instagram. As we all know these days Instagram can be the best place for businesses. I landed my first celebrity client which took Organize It to a whole new level. It has been a hustle to get to where I am today but it is so rewarding being able to look back at what I have created and knowing that this is just the beginning.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I would say the biggest struggle back then was that I was one of the first people doing what I was doing. Trial and error was definitely my best friend. In 2013 Instagram was still used as a place for selfies and not taken as seriously. Because there weren’t any businesses (that I am aware of) that wanted to do what I was doing I didn’t have someone to look up to. Someone to tell me “that isn’t correct” or “that doesn’t look right”. There wasn’t a pamphlet or a guidebook, it was just me. I think that’s what makes this business so unique, as organizers we see a space and we get to use our creativity to make something transform into a functional efficient system. My business was growing and I was taking on bigger jobs like an entire garage but it was still just me at the time. It can be draining doing a huge job on your own. Once I was able to bring a team onto Organize it not only did it help me out with the time but it gave me that opportunity to now have an open conversation and bounce ideas off of each other. It has definitely not been a smooth sailing experience but as cliche as this sounds, I wouldn’t change a thing.

As you know, we’re big fans of Organize It. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Since my early years as a charismatic child, I have been passionate about organizing. What makes Organize It stand out is that we utilize my unique ability to convert the complicated into the manageable. I have thankfully helped thousands of clients reclaim their homes, offices, garages and more. I’m no stranger to the importance of keeping things organized and strongly believe it has a direct correlation to a successful life, both personally and professionally. Organization is not a skill most are born with. Rather, it is a life skill that is developed and honed over time. As a professional organizer, I have truly become a practitioner of my craft. So much so, that a core principle in working with me is to not only physically organize my client’s spaces, but also to teach and inspire clients to become organizational practitioners as well. With my many years of practice, I have developed a level of mastery in organization that is simply unparalleled. Starting with the right mindset, my approach keeps you focused and in charge as you zero in on one task at a time, systematically conquering your organizational projects. I am all about sharing practical tips, and customized guidelines and here to give direct encouragement. There is nothing more enjoyable than the feeling I get when I finish a job knowing that I have truly helped change my client’s way of life.

What makes you happy?
What makes me happy is knowing that I am making others happy. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing my client’s faces after we’ve finished a project. I’ve had clients start crying because they were so delighted with the results. Yes, we are known for making a space aesthetically pleasing but our number one goal is to create a functional system that our clients can maintain. Every single client has separate goals and needs. We take note of that so we can make their lives easier. Whether it is something as small as noticing what items are used more and making sure those are always in reach. I believe that is what makes us at Organize It stand out.
