Meet Our Team.
Marlena (She/They)
Founder/Owner
Raised in a family of 9, organization was a must. Their parents were the OG inspiration, teaching all of the siblings the importance of a functional flow. The family moved homes multiple times, providing the young organizer many opportunities to purge, pack, and organize to her heart's content.
Marlena spent 20 years in the service industry. Bartending, serving, managing in restaurants and bars, and working private events in and around Philly. The two things they loved most: working with people, and crafting the perfect bar setup for maximum efficiency. As you can imagine, bartending in itself is an education! Once Marlena realized that all the years of listening and sharing with a range of cool people was a skill that they could bring into their organizing business, the focus became even more clear. Simple transition!
Fast forward to 2020. World shut down. Marlena finally had time to pour into the dream of owning an organizing business. Combining her love for helping others with her organizational skills, Marlena opened Philly Neat Freaks in 2021 and never looked back.
Tiffany (She/Her)
Organizer Extraordinaire

Sarah (She/Her)
Administrative Assistant
Sarah earned her bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and uses her administrative skills to boost our freaking brand. She appreciates how the practice of organizing invites us to examine our relationships with our belongings, each other, and check in with ourselves. Sarah manages our website, creates content for social media, and contributes to our Philly Donations Google Map.
