Today we’d like to introduce you to Jen Hill
Jen, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My journey to this point in my life has been twisty to say the least. Always thought I would be a teacher when I grew up. And while I did work in a school for a while, something just wasn’t quite right. My next chapter took me to the world of sports. Working on the operational side of the business really showed me how my brain worked best in getting processes in place. I also realized that not everyone thinks like that naturally. As much as I (surprisingly) enjoyed working there, the day came where I knew it was time to move on.
That is where professional organizing came into the picture. I was made aware that having a professional organizing business was a thing about 20 years ago. Thanks to Covid and binge watching The Home edit and Marie Kondo’s shows, I knew this was something I could do! I was already doing it actually. In every job I had held, even pre-college, I was drawn to figuring out how to make processes simpler and more efficient, what to do to make the supplies easier to find, and how to implement systems.
In May of 2022 Jen Hill Organizing was established. I immediately surrounded myself with a community of business leaders and mentors. I started getting clients right away and haven’t looked back. Today Jen Hill Organizing has 3 other ladies (and looking for more) that help organize and take care of our clients, I have appeared close to a dozen times on The Nine morning show, and have spoken at several events.
I approach organizing with clients as an opportunity to pass along my skills, so in a manner of speaking I am still a teacher. Every experience I had along my twisty path has helped me gain skills to get to this point.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
If anyone tells you something was a smooth road, that means they didn’t take risks or go out of their comfort zone. There are 2 sides to every business, the service or product being offered for sale and the operations/business side. Usually the person is REALLY good at the service or product side and there is some learning curve for the business side. Same is true for me. Accounting, marketing, contracts, networking…I could go on and on. These are all things I needed to learn more about if I was going to have a successful business.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Jen Hill Organizing?
At Jen Hill Organizing, we help busy people achieve peace in their homes through decluttering, organizing, and creating sustainable systems. More than just tidying up, we transform spaces into functional environments that reflect how you actually live. Serving the greater Toledo and Findlay areas throughout NW Ohio and SE Michigan, we’ve tackled every space from basements to attics, with particular expertise in closets, home offices, craft rooms, kitchens, and garages. We also specialize in post-move unpacking to help make your new house feel like home from day one.
What truly sets us apart is our commitment to education and empowerment. We believe in teaching, not just doing. Our favorite clients are those eager to learn decluttering and organizing strategies they can implement themselves long after we leave. We understand that every item in your home requires something from you – whether it’s physical maintenance, cleaning time, or mental energy. Our approach helps you make intentional decisions about which items truly deserve that investment of your time and energy.
We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
Success is taking the next best step. It can be as simple as spending 15 minutes going through an overflowing drawer. Too often we put this big-picture pressure on success, expecting massive transformations overnight. Something that I have to constantly remind myself – and my clients – to do is take a step back and celebrate those “small” successes. Because when those 15-minute victories add up, they create lasting change. Real success isn’t about perfect spaces – it’s about consistent progress and building sustainable habits one drawer, one shelf, one decision at a time.
