Hi, I’m Gabi. My story begins on a small farm outside Budapest, Hungary, where my passion for organization first took root. Even as a six‑year‑old, I found joy in rearranging my parents’ kitchen, creating order wherever I could. My grandmother – the true Martha Stewart of our town – became my greatest influence. She taught me the art of a beautiful home: polished silverware, crisp linens, fresh flowers, clever cleaning tricks, and meals made from scratch with love. Her grace, creativity, and standards shaped everything I do today.

Life wasn’t always easy. My parents struggled with alcohol, and my grandmother stepped in to raise me with stability, structure, and warmth. Her lessons became the foundation of my gift: transforming homes into peaceful, functional sanctuaries.

At 22, I became a mother to my incredible son. As a single mom working long hours, I learned the power of systems, routines, and an organized home. It wasn’t just about tidiness – it was survival, efficiency, and creating a safe, calm space for my child. Those years taught me discipline, resilience, and the ability to manage life with both strength and grace.

I earned my degree in legal economics in Budapest, where my real estate and organizing career first began. In 2010, with a suitcase and a dream, I moved to the United States to continue my career on a new continent. I worked with celebrities and high‑profile clients in New York City, Los Angeles, Malibu, and Beverly Hills – experiences that refined my eye for detail, luxury service, and elevated design.

From 2015 to 2021, I operated as a solo professional organizer under “Gabi’s Organizing & Staging”, working as a sole proprietor and building a loyal clientele through word‑of‑mouth and exceptional service. Those years allowed me to refine my craft, develop my signature systems, and understand the deep emotional connection people have with their homes.

In 2021, I officially founded Organizing Beyond Expectations (OBE) – a company built on excellence, compassion, and the belief that an organized home can transform a family’s life. What began as a one‑woman operation has grown into a highly trained team serving some of Northern California’s most sought‑after communities.

In 2024, I married my husband, and together we have a blended family of five grown children. As empty nesters, I now have the freedom to pour my heart into my team, my clients, and my craft – organizing full‑time, Monday through Sunday, because it is both my passion and my joy.

Being a single mother for most of my life deepened my understanding of why organization matters: it creates peace, saves time, reduces stress, and allows families to thrive. Beyond organizing, I’ve staged hundreds of homes for sale and love the creativity of design. I’m always looking for ways to create extra space – even where it seems impossible – or save that extra inch to fit the perfect basket.

When I’m not organizing, you’ll find me doing puzzles, playing with my cat, taking long trail walks, swimming, spending time with friends, or reading my Bible. I love traveling to Europe to visit my son, who is turning 30 this year – and I’m turning 51.

The last 16 years have been an extraordinary journey. Every client, every home, every transformation reminds me why I love what I do. Helping families create order, beauty, and space is not just my work – it’s my purpose.
