Meet Your Professional Home Organizer in Madison, WI
Thoughtful Organizing Support Rooted in Experience and Care. Helping clients move from overwhelm to calm.
A Lifelong Appreciation for Order and Homes
Hi! I’m Carrie Marshall, professional organizer and owner of The Marshall Method. My path into organizing began early—shaped by a love of homes, reinforced by military service, and refined through a corporate career spent creating structure out of ambiguity. After years of informally helping friends and professionally creating order out of chaos, a career pivot in 2021 gave me the opportunity to turn a lifelong instinct into a business. I’ve been helping clients create calmer, more functional homes ever since.
The Marshall Method Philosophy
I believe organizing isn’t just about systems…it’s about how your home makes you feel. My passion for organizing allows me to work with clients throughout the greater Madison, WI area who are overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally weighed down by their spaces.
Many of my clients are navigating transitions such as downsizing, renovations, expanding/growing families, relocations, retirement, loss, or simply a season of life where their home no longer supports their daily functions. My role is to meet you exactly where you are and guide you through the process at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.
Clients often tell me they value my steady presence as much as the physical transformation of their homes. I bring structure and clarity to the organizing process while honoring the emotions, memories, and decisions that naturally come with it.
Proudly Serving Madison, WI and Nearby Communities
The Marshall Method is best suited for clients seeking meaningful, lasting change through projects completed over multiple sessions. Together, we create spaces that feel lighter, more functional, and aligned with the life you’re living now.
People often think because I’m an organizer that I must have very little in my own home. Nope! I’d say I’m between a minimalist and maximalist (because c’mon, who can resist a cute pair of shoes?).
Fun Facts About Carrie
My love for organizing is probably due in part to moving 20+ times. One move was to a 200-square foot apartment in NYC (it was wonderful, but very small), and two moves were to Wisconsin (I must love it here).
On my days off you can find me spending time with family and friends, cooking, traveling, listening to true crime podcasts, working out, antiquing, and organizing my own home. I really do love my job!
Only 10% of the population is left-handed (hey…that’s me!). They say lefties are good at complex reasoning, which may be why I approach clients’ spaces with creative and practical solutions.
I am a proud United States Air Force veteran.
My absolute favorite foods are pizza and tacos. So on my birthday I like to combine my faves and order a taco pizza to celebrate. Who’s hungry?
