Emily Kate Johnson is the founder of Organized by Emily Kate, a Cleveland-based personal organizing service dedicated to helping individuals and families transform overwhelmed, cluttered spaces into peaceful, functional sanctuaries. 

Her approach is both practical and elevated, as Emily Kate works closely with her clients to declutter, sort through belongings, and create sustainable systems tailored to their unique routines and lifestyles. Whether using existing household items or sourcing high-quality products, Emily’s goal is always the same: to bring a sense of calm and clarity to the spaces that matter most.

Described by clients as uplifting, focused, and efficient, Emily provides not just organizational services but accountability and emotional support—turning what can be a stressful task into something empowering and even enjoyable.

Emily Kate has had a lifelong passion for organization, but it was while living inside her crowded sorority house at University of Washington that she first realized her natural talent for creating streamlined spaces was a gift she could share with others professionally. In 2024, she launched her dream business, helping busy moms and professionals regain control over their homes and headspace.

Emily Kate lives in Cleveland with her family (with plenty of four-legged friends including two dogs and three cats). When she’s not organizing, you’ll find Emily Kate exploring ways to make the everyday feel a little more beautiful—and a lot more manageable.
