I live in Brooklyn with my husband in our newly emptied nest (!), and have two teenage boys. I grew up in Manhattan and spent the first 20 years of my career in branding and design. I like pretty packaging.
I've been committed to buying organic and “non-toxic” for a long time and went into overdrive once I got pregnant in 2004. Working in clean beauty I learned about the “chemicals” I had been trying to avoid—in personal care products, cleaning and more—and what they can do to people and the planet. I learned there are alternatives that look good and work as well or better than the toxic stuff, and that neither has to do with price point.
Even with this knowledge and practice, I sometimes feel overwhelmed with all the different suggestions and things to avoid/buy/do, so I knew others did too. Many of my friends and clients were asking me for recommendations on things like the best cleaning products or organic mattresses or where to donate their bag of unwanted clothes, and I truly love to help people figure this stuff out!
COME CLEAN was born to put all my learnings into one place and offer one on one services to help it really stick. All with the goal of helping you be cleaner and greener today and into the future.
About Me
Why One-on-One Services?
You already understand that there are questionable/toxic ingredients and actively seek out more “natural” products but don’t really know what to look for (and worry about greenwashing).
You also think some of these products or habits will be too involved/not work/not be your style and you’ll spend money on them but won’t love them (or use them).
You want to have better systems for creating less waste and might want to learn how to compost.
You want to purge and organize but you're not sure how to get rid of your things sustainably.
You want someone you trust to just tell you what to do
(or do it for you).
