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
Tiffany is the epitome of cool, calm, and collected. With years of experience running a bustling household of three kids, she’s mastered the art of staying tidy while keeping things stylish. Her background as a barista, hairdresser, and badass photographer gives her a unique eye for detail and an impeccable taste that translates into every space she touches.
Tiffany’s energy is a breath of fresh air, making her not just an organizer but a joy to work with. Whether it’s a cluttered closet or a chaotic kitchen, Tiffany brings her signature blend of organization and flair to create spaces that truly shine.
Aly (Any/All)
Admin Freak
From the mountains of Arizona (yes, really), Aly brings a diverse background to the table - having worked in industries such as craft beer and cocktails, home alarm service dispatch, human resources, and even childcare. With an eye for detail, Aly uses their powers of organization to improve internal processes, support back end operations, and get freaky with documentation.
Since moving to Philly in January 2023, contributing to the community around her has become a top priority of Aly’s. Her expertise and greatest joy lies in clearing the plates of others to empower them to do what they do best. While you may never meet Aly face-to-face, know they are happily toiling in the background to support the wonderful people whose hands you can shake.
Stephen (He/They)
Junior Organizer
Stephen has been making moves across the country for over a decade, so paring down to what needs to stay at hand has always been treated as a growth opportunity. He believes staying organized keeps us moving toward our best selves and makes the whole journey a little smoother.
His background as a caretaker has taught him how important feeling supported in your living space can be. Whether it’s overwhelm at stuff being out of place or a stack of anxiety-inducing boxes, he’s excited to make sure the process will be something to look forward to.
