“It’s never about your home being perfect. It’s never about your home looking perfect– Good on Instagram, good for friends. It’s about your home supporting you. Does your home work for you? Can you find what you need to find? Can you cook a healthy meal? Can you get dressed in the morning without crying because your closet is such a disaster?” – Tracy McCubbin

Does your house actually function well for you?

Tracy McCubbin is an entrepreneur, CEO, and the author of Making Space, Clutter Free: The Last Book On Decluttering You’ll Ever Need (June 4th, 2019) and the newly launched book, Make Space for Happiness: How to Stop Attracting Clutter and Start Magnetizing the Life You Want (Sourcebooks, October 4th, 2022). She has always referred to herself as “Obsessive Compulsive Delightful,” but who knew she could turn that trait into a booming business? While working for a prominent television director in Los Angeles, Tracy discovered she could see through any mess and clearly envision a clutter-free space. Coupled with keen time-management and organizational skills, Tracy soon found more and more people were asking her for help. Before she knew it, dClutterfly was born. Over fifteen years and thousands of clients later, dClutterfly is currently Los Angeles’ premier organizing and decluttering company.
