About You. Organized. by Barb

Meet Barb



The habits we carry as adults are often shaped at a young age. My love for organization started in “small town” America growing up on a farm in Michigan. My mom, always keeping a tidy home, showed me the art and practicality of organization. 

My sense of structure and order extended beyond things to people as I started my career. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Labor Relations, I worked in human resources for Fortune 500 companies. While I excelled in helping large companies with organizational design, development, and productivity, I liked the thought of using my talents to help others in a more personal way. 

I left the busy corporate work setting but took along my love for working with people and coupled that with my knack for organization. I saw first-hand the effects that clutter and disorganization has on people like increased stress and overwhelm. Clutter also impacts relationships, work productivity, and budgets. I realized I could help bring harmony to people’s homes and lives through organization, so the studio began.

My name is Barb Proia, and I am the founder and COO (Chief Organizing Officer) at YOU. Organized. by Barb.

A few other tidbits you should know about me:

I’ve lived in the Tampa Bay area since 1991 with my husband and two kids, who have now left the nest.

I love spending my leisure time on the beach with my nose in a good historical fiction book.

I believe in serving where I live and volunteer with hospital and school causes.

On my bucket list are traveling to Alaska and learning American Sign Language.

I can’t say enough good things about Barb. She met with me in my home, took the time to speak with me, got to know me, and really listened when I was telling her what I needed her help with. She helped me come up with a plan to accomplish my goal without judgment. A task that I thought would take me multiple hours for multiple days took four hours in one day with the help and encouragement from Barb. I can’t tell you the relief that I feel meeting that goal.

Barb is a wonderful organizer and friend. Her skills helped me in many ways. Not only did she help me declutter and organize but she improved my day-to-day life. I am able to get my kids and I out the door faster in the mornings and my home is organized when I leave without the chaos. I highly recommend her to anyone needing help with organization.

I was so lucky to have Barb help me organize my brand-new kitchen after a major remodeling project. She was fabulous from start to finish! She communicated well with me throughout the project. Barb helped me think through the usage of my kitchen, looking at work stations and assisting me to maximize my available cabinet and drawer space. My kitchen has never been so organized!

I would like to thank and recommend this company. I appreciate the care and respect we were given in placing memorable items in their respective places. A project that has taken me a few years was accomplished in a matter of days. The team was absolutely outstanding!
