Meet The Team Behind Joyful Spaces Professional Organizing

I'm passionate about believing in the potential of others and transforming how spaces work for real life. As a former foster mom, social worker, and now business owner, I've seen how good systems can make life feel manageable again.

When I started my career in social services, I felt privileged to not only create a life skills teaching program and develop community partnerships, but that I was able to help hundreds of people move toward their goals.

After 10+ years in those roles, I made the jump to making a difference with my own business. Joyful Spaces began with the vision of improving people's lives through their spaces that impact their overall well-being and productivity.

My clients are my favorite kind of people — real, messy (sometimes real messy!), complex, and they SHOW UP ANYWAY. These projects not only bring joy to our clients, but to me too. I love seeing how a transformed space can improve their lives.

Now three years in, we're growing and I'm hooked. Seeing people increase their productivity to change their life is a great reward. I consider it a privilege and a pleasure to help people organize their space for the life they want.

Here’s a small sample of the kind words clients have shared.

I believe every home deserves to feel peaceful — even the spaces that have been stuck for years. With 4 years of professional experience, I bring patience, empathy, and a gift for creative problem-solving to every project, no matter how overwhelming it feels.

Carrie Jewett

I show up to every session ready to work, ready to listen, and genuinely happy to support our clients. I bring calm assurance and zero judgment, and I love finding creative solutions that make even the trickiest spaces feel manageable and beautiful again.

After 8 moves with my large family, I've organized over and over, finding new ways to display, organize, and enjoy our spaces. I have 4 kids, homeschooled for many years, and have recently overhauled my entire backyard with a large garden — complete with chickens!

Now, with 4 years of professional experience, I bring that same real-life energy to every client I work with. I consider it a joy and a privilege to partner with you as we make your goals a reality together. I promise to work with you compassionately, respectfully, and with great care.

I find so much joy in helping people bring calm and order to their homes. As a veteran — and the spouse of a fellow veteran — I know firsthand how the right systems can bring stability and peace to even the most overwhelming situations.

Sherry Van Buren

My husband and I both served in the United States Air Force, and that background shaped everything about how I approach my work: with discipline, practicality, and a deep commitment to showing up fully for the people I serve. I know what it means to create order out of chaos — and I know the relief that follows.

My approach is grounded in empathy, and I’ve had the honor of supporting clients through some of life’s most challenging transitions: downsizing, moving, and processing grief. Whether I’m finding creative storage solutions or helping sort through deeply sentimental items, I do my best to create a space where clients feel safe, seen, and supported.

I live in North Colorado Springs with my family, and when I’m not organizing you’ll usually find me running, reading, or researching organizing methods just for fun.

As a trained interior designer and longtime foster care provider here in Colorado Springs, I help clients create spaces that are both beautiful and truly functional — with a designer's eye and a genuine heart for people.

Alex Maestas

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from the Art Institute of Colorado, and I've spent the last 10 years translating that training into spaces that actually work for the people living in them.

As a foster care provider since 2016, I've experienced firsthand what it means to create a home that feels safe, welcoming, and easy to navigate — and that shapes everything about how I approach organizing.

I'm a Colorado native and deeply committed to this community.

Since 2023, I've supported Impactful Organizing, our nonprofit that brings the same care and intentionality to clients who need it most. My goal is simple: for you to feel proud of your space and supported at every single step.

After fostering 74 children across four states and raising our family in a 43-foot RV, I've learned firsthand that a well-organized home isn't a luxury — it's what makes family life possible.

Tamiko Whittle

About 6 years ago, my husband, our 3 daughters, and I sold almost everything we owned to travel the country in a 43-foot RV. When a family of five shares that kind of space, organization isn't optional — it's survival.

Before that, we spent 10 years as an Army family and fostered 74 kiddos across 4 different states, building calm and belonging out of constant change. I also spent nearly 20 years running my own daycare, creating clean, organized, joyful spaces for children every single day.

Now that we're back in Colorado, I'm channeling all of that into helping you build a home that truly works — giving everything a place, and giving your family the breathing room to thrive. Your possibilities are endless!

I want you to have more time for the things you love. With 8 years of organizing experience — and a few years living proof-of-concept in a converted minivan — I know how to make any space calm, functional, and beautiful.

Brooke Pineda

There's nothing more rewarding than turning a space that once caused stress into one that feels peaceful and empowering.

I've been a professional organizer for 8 years, working with clients on everything from daily home systems to full relocations — helping people pack up, move, and settle beautifully into new spaces.

I'm a Colorado native, born and raised in northern Colorado, and I have a personal proof point I love to share: I once spent several years living and traveling out of a converted minivan. If I can make 80 square feet functional, beautiful, and genuinely joyful — I can absolutely transform your home. Colorado Springs is now my home base, and I couldn't be happier to be here.

where it all started

At Joyful Spaces, we have turned this gift into a teachable process for anyone who feels stressed out and overwhelmed by their space.

Joyful Spaces Professional Organizing started with one of Meghan's friends fighting through a divorce and working incredibly hard to hold everything together for her kids. Meghan offered to help her with housework: pick up toys, wash and put away laundry and throw out trash.

This friend humbly accepted and we realized she was drowning in STUFF that was quite literally costing her time and money: re-buying things she couldn’t find and spending hours looking for things that were irreplaceable.

So we made a second date to edit and organize her house so she could easily find things. We donated carloads of stuff that she no longer needed to pick up and step over. Every space we thoughtfully organized added precious time to her busy schedule.

We lifted a HUGE burden off her shoulders that left her with more money, more time and more energy to tackle life. Meghan was blown away by the life changing impact of organizing.

We've got several services to help you declutter and organize your space with optimal functionality and style. Learn more about our Professional Organizing Services.
