ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Kira Ross and I am the Founder of Form and Function by Kira.

I was born and raised in the Greater Toronto Area after my parents immigrated from the Caribbean in the late 70's. Currently I call Durham Region home.


Armed with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and a major in Information Technology I started my career in 2005 as a Business Systems Analyst. In this role I transformed cluttered business requirements into streamlined processes using technology and automation.

When my career pivoted in 2012, I took on the Commercial Real Estate industry by using my gifts of management, organization, and process improvement. My experience in managing a diverse campus of buildings to running a province-wide planning program has sharpened my eye for finding efficiencies and opportunities where others see obstacles.

I am a mother and a wife who believes everyone can live in a space that is pleasing to the senses and reflects the heart of those who live there. Creating an environment of elegance, form and function by decluttering, categorizing and organizing is why I created Form and Function by Kira. I am excited to streamline your lifestyle and create a space customized for how you use it.​

I sincerely believe form is found when space is made functional.

Is It Worth Hiring a Professional Organizer?

What Do Professional Organizers Do, and Is It Worth Hiring One?

September 09, 20244 min read

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by clutter, or like your home just isn’t working for you the way it should, you might have wondered: What exactly does a professional organizer do, and is it really worth hiring one? As a professional organizer serving the Durham and York Regions in the Greater Toronto Area, I’m here to give you the inside scoop!

What Exactly Does a Professional Organizer Do?

In a nutshell, a professional organizer helps you create order in your life by bringing structure and function to your spaces. But there's so much more to it than just tidying up.

Here’s a closer look at what we do:

  1. Assessment and Planning: The first step is getting to know you and your space. I take the time to understand your goals, challenges, and how you use your home on a 30-minute virtual video call. This helps me create a customized plan that addresses your specific needs.

  2. Decluttering: I help you sort through your belongings to decide what to keep, donate, recycle, or toss. This process can be incredibly freeing, but it’s also where many people get stuck. As a professional organizer, I provide guidance and support to help you make decisions more easily.

  3. Space Planning: Once we’ve decluttered, it’s time to plan how to best use your space. This might include rearranging furniture, optimizing storage solutions, or even suggesting new organizing products that suit your style and needs.

  4. Organizing: This is where the magic happens! I create systems that make it easy for you to keep your space organized. Whether it’s setting up a streamlined kitchen, designing a functional home office, or organizing your closets, everything is tailored to how you live.

  5. Implementation and Follow-Up: Some professional organizers, including myself, offer hands-on help with implementing the new systems. I’ll even follow up to ensure everything is working well for you, and make adjustments if needed.

Is It Worth Hiring a Professional Organizer?

Now, let’s get to the big question: Is it worth it?

The answer, in my experience, is a resounding yes—and here’s why:

  1. Time and Stress Savings: Imagine having a space where everything has its place, and you never waste time searching for things. That’s what professional organizing offers. The peace of mind you gain from a well-organized home is invaluable.

  2. Expertise and Efficiency: Professional organizers have the training and experience to tackle even the most daunting projects. What might take you weeks or months to figure out, we can streamline in a fraction of the time. We also know the best products and techniques to use, so you don’t have to go through trial and error.

  3. Customized Solutions: No two homes or families are alike, which is why cookie-cutter solutions rarely work. We create systems that are specifically designed for your space, lifestyle, and personal preferences.

  4. Long-Term Benefits: A well-organized home isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about functionality. The systems we put in place help you maintain order long after the project is completed, making your daily routines smoother and more efficient.

  5. Emotional and Mental Health: Clutter and disorganization can lead to stress, anxiety, and even feelings of being overwhelmed. By transforming your space, a professional organizer can help you create a more peaceful and relaxing environment, which can have a positive impact on your overall well-being.

When Should You Consider Hiring a Professional Organizer?

You might be wondering if there’s a “right time” to hire a professional organizer. Here are some situations where it can be especially beneficial:

  • Life Transitions: Moving, downsizing, or welcoming a new family member are all big changes that can disrupt your home’s organization. I can help you adapt your space to fit your new lifestyle.

  • Overwhelming Clutter: If you’re feeling buried under stuff and don’t know where to start, that’s a clear sign it’s time to bring in a pro.

  • Lack of Time: If your busy schedule doesn’t allow you to tackle organizing projects on your own, hiring a professional can save you time and energy.

  • Desire for a Fresh Start: Sometimes, you just want a fresh, new start with a home that truly supports your goals and dreams. I can help make that vision a reality.
