Meet the Team

In a world that often rushes, we create places and moments that invite you to settle in, belong, grow roots, and take flight—at home and in life.

  • I’m new to small-space living, having moved from a spacious house in Raleigh to a cozy Capitol Hill row home.  My move gave me empathy for our clients who are downsizing or reorganizing their homes.

    My grandmother's piano would not fit into our new home and I had to donate it. Parting with it felt like saying goodbye to a piece of family history. It was gut-wrenching and I couldn’t watch as movers rolled it out of the house. I now believe that donating it honored my grandmother’s legacy in a meaningful way by extending the piano's life. I’m happy it is creating memories in its new location.

    Moving was hard work, both physically and emotionally. P.S. Nest looks forward to helping you create a space that truly reflects your personality and needs.

  • From Museum Curator to Curator of Home & Life

    After more than 20 years preserving stories in museums, I now help people organize their homes in ways that honor their memories, simplify their lives, and make room for what comes next. Whether it’s thoughtfully decluttering cherished keepsakes or creating spaces that truly feel like home, I bring care, clarity, and a bit of joy to every project—because a well-curated home is a place where life can unfold beautifully.

    Connection is the thread that runs through all my work. I love helping people strengthen bonds with family and friends, especially in moments of transition when a new game or a creative spark can open unexpected doors. I also enjoy planning museum outings that are paced to encourage curiosity and conversation. Given my 20+ years as a museum educator in DC, I have favorite spots that are off the beaten path and make wonderful half day excursions for visiting family and friends.

    My hope is to make your life feel lighter and more meaningful, offering steadiness, curiosity, and a sense of belonging along the way.

Let's Talk!

the story behind the name

Sometimes, the right next step is as simple as following a passion.

Our company name has a double meaning:

P.S. is the whisper after the words, the tender thought you save for last because it matters most.
It’s a signature of care—a reminder that connection lives in the details.

For us, it also carries our names—Peyton & Suzi—our promise that every space, every story, every person we work with receives our full attention, warmth, and respect.

We see organizing and community-building the same way—as finishing touches that bring life into sharper focus, making room not only for clarity and comfort, but for friendship, learning, belonging, and joy.

A P.S. is that final, loving squeeze at the end of a letter.
We like to think our work offers the same.

Nest is more than a home—it’s a sanctuary for rest and renewal, a place to gather strength, grow, and begin again.

It cradles memories, nurtures change, and welcomes new chapters with open arms.
From fresh starts to sweet goodbyes, from quiet mornings to lively tables filled with laughter, a nest holds you close and invites you forward.

We chose this name because we witness these moments every day—downsizing with grace, creating space for what matters, forging friendships, rediscovering passions, and building lives that feel grounded, connected, and ready to take flight.

A nest is where you land.
A nest is where you launch.
And we’re here for every part of that journey.
