Meet Your Professional Organizers

Devon Fegen-Herdman, MSSA

I have seen the positive impact minimalism, decluttering and home organization has had on my own life and I want to spread that joy and peace to others. My home has never been perfect and over time I have read many books, watched all the shows, listened to podcasts and more to learn all the tips and tricks to get my home under control. Now I am ready to share that magic with you.

Trained as a Social Worker

Although decluttering with others is a newer venture for me, working with and helping others has been my entire career. I graduated from Case Western Reserve University in 2005 with a Master’s Degree in Social Work and have been working in the field ever since. I have extensive training and experience in home visits, working with clients, and helping people with change. I am attuned to my client’s emotions and will work at a pace that is comfortable for you. Although professional organizing is not a social work service (and these services are not being provided under my social work license), I consider it social work adjacent.

Experienced at working with Seniors

I worked at Hospice of the Western Reserve for many years meeting with folks in hospitals to complete admissions. I was an advanced certified hospice and palliative care social worker from 2010-2016. I always center the independence and wishes of the senior I am working with and am happy to communicate with other family members if requested. If you have medical or physical limitations that make decluttering difficult, I can easily adapt my assistance to fit your needs.

Skilled at managing ‘stuff’

I have years of work experience running a therapeutic art classroom at a mental health day treatment center. Cleaning, storing, preparing and maintaining the various art materials for up to 90 participants a week was a large portion of this work. It requires effective systems to be in place so that the space does not become cluttered and messy. Teaching participants easy-to-follow cleanup routines was a must.

I also co-founded a thrift store for art supplies (Upcycle Parts Shop it’s really awesome, you should check it out!) and continue to serve on the non-profit board. We developed systems to receive and sort material donations. We visited many area businesses and viewed their storage and disposal practices to identify usable items that could be pulled out of their waste streams and reused creatively. This was the ultimate crash course in how to manage many different items in a neat and organized way to prevent a cluttered look and feel in our storefront.

Cleveland native

I was born and raised in greater Cleveland and am happily settled in Avon where I live with my husband, 2 children, dog and cat. I love playing soccer, reading, making art, and camping with my family.

  • Organizer Madi

    Maddi

    ORGANIZER

    Maddi is excited to join Declutter with Devon and bring her fresh perspective to the team. She comes from a strong retail background, particularly in second-hand goods, which gives her a unique appreciation for thoughtful styling and intentional spaces. Maddi believes organizing is both a mental reset and a physical refresh, and she loves helping clients create harmony in their homes.

    Her passion for decluttering started early. Some of her favorite childhood memories include cleaning her bedroom with her sister.

    A proud Cleveland native, Maddi grew up in North Olmsted and now lives in Rocky River with her fiancé and their cat.

  • Declutter with Devon Organizer Megan

    Megan

    ORGANIZER

    Megan is a native Clevelander and former elementary school teacher.  She developed her eye for organization while managing one of the most challenging environments for decluttering: a classroom full of kindergarteners. She also has extensive experience with whole-home moves, having relocated to Hawaii, Maryland, South Carolina, and back to Ohio—all over a span of about 20 years.  Wherever she is, Megan strives to create spaces that bring calm and clarity. 

    Megan lives in Cleveland Heights with her husband, 2 kids, and their Carolina dog, Addy.  When not decluttering, she's most often on a lacrosse field, petting a dog, or eating ice cream – ideally all three at once! 

  • declutter with devon professional organizer Patty

    Patty

    ORGANIZER

    Patty is excited to be joining the Declutter with Devon team.  I was born to organize!  I started very young, helping my mother organize her sewing materials and my belongings.  I knew from a very young age that I would be a teacher, and I became a teacher.  While teaching, I taught my student many life skills, and keeping their desk, lockers, and lives organized was one of them.  I often say, “Let’s work smarter than harder”.  

    I enjoy helping people and making a difference.  I am here to help you.  I want to help you organize, purge, declutter, donate, and lift the weight or burden of what may be holding you down or back.  I am here to listen and bounce ideas off of you or lend a helping hand.  I am here to help you through the difficult decisions or give you that little push you may need to be more motivated. But know I am here for YOU, and you are amazing!

    I am a proud mother of three wonderful adult children and a grandmother of two (so far).  I live in Berea, but was raised on a farm in Columbia Station, where my parents still live.  I help take care of both of my parents at the age of 91.  I hope in the near future to have a rescue sanctuary with farm animals on it.
