Bringing an Organized Lifestyle to Palos Verdes
We had the good fortune of connecting with Jocelyn Stuart, Owner of Jocelyn Stuart Home Editing. She is a professional organizer and is bringing an organized lifestyle to Palos Verdes – one room at a time.
Jocelyn started her career in organizing in 2006 because it truly was a calling and a passion of hers, she said. She aims to create a sense of tranquility in the homes that she edits and organizes. Jocelyn said that she thrives on helping her clients see the benefits of living an organized, streamlined life.
Jocelyn and her family, including two sons aged 16 and 19, moved to Palos Verdes in 2016. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue TV and film work in her former career as a hairstylist.
“I never felt completely connected to Los Angeles, but working as a hairstylist brought me here. I met my husband and that is why I stayed,” Jocelyn said. “Working as a hairstylist taught me the art of creating something beautiful.”
Jocelyn was introduced to the art of organizing by a hair client who worked as an interior designer.
“It’s about creating a space that is not only orderly but aesthetically appealing,” Jocelyn said. “Order brings beauty and calm to our minds.”
More than five years later, Jocelyn continues to build her clientele base in Palos Verdes. She partners with local realtors who offer her services to their clients and local charities who can benefit from her organizing tips. To these clients, Jocelyn creates personalized plans that look different for each person.
“What works for you may not work for someone else. It is my job, without judgment, to figure out what that is,” Jocelyn said. “My clients feel better when we find a home for their belongings.”
Jocelyn believes being organized is a lifestyle. She prides herself on building relationships with her clients. Oftentimes, helping people during a big transition in their lives– death of a loved one, kids moving to college, overwhelmed by their clutter and needing support and guidance– becomes a deeper connection than just getting organized. She says she has learned lessons for her life as well. Jocelyn has learned and lived by the mantra that there is an importance of moving through emotion and releasing things that no longer serve you.
