BeNeat is an independently owned professional organizing business based out of Santa Cruz, California. Our services focus on the thoughtful decluttering of spaces to make them beautiful and functional using practical and realistic organizing methods. Your home is meant to be a place where you can relax, rejuvenate, and recharge.

Long time friends, Kim and Mimi have a passion for everything home. They have consulted each other over the years on home remodels, decorating projects, and efficient household management. Finding inspiration in nature, color, and well-made things, their greatest pleasure is helping clients create a calm, clutter-free space.

Aesthetics and organization come naturally to Kim, and her background has contributed to her expertise and style.  With a BA in Sociology and a three year Interior Design Certificate she went on to work in commercial interiors for over 20 years. Organization has always been a part of her professional work as well as a personal passion.

A reformed collector since childhood (starting with Breyer horses, sea glass, and Star Wars cards), Mimi cherishes connections with family and friends above “things,” although her Fiestaware collection is used daily (life’s too short to choose just one color). Armed with a Bachelor of Science from UC Davis, Mimi has proceeded to organize every workspace she’s come across.

With a goal of creating personalized systems that are both sustainable and stylish, Kim and Mimi are excited to help clients restore order to their homes and lives. Again and again, they’ve heard how incredible it is for their customers not to feel bogged down by possessions and clutter. Work with them, and you will find that living in an orderly, inspired space enhances creativity and provides room for peace.
