Professional Organizing and Redesign
Meet Karla
Certified Organizer and Redesign Consultant
I have a passion for organizing and interior design. I've been blessed to be able to gain hands on experience while serving several non-profits, from reorganizing a thrift shop to converting an unused space into a community gathering/coffee shop space. My design style has been developed during my years as a military spouse, turning blank military housing into warm comforting homes.
​
After 26+ years as a military family, I know reside in Wilmington, Ohio with my husband of 32 years, Ken. We've been blessed with two amazing daughters and gained two sons-in-law. Katelyn Mariah (SSgt Travis Cole and their son Jude) and Karah Markie (SSgt Michael Porcaro and their daughter Aurora).
​
I know that no single approach is right for every individual, I am certified through the International Association of Professional Organizers and Interior Redesigners. I've continued my training by learning different methods such as, The KonMari Method, Clutterbug Organizing Styles, Swedish Death Cleaning and Use What You Have Decorating.
M&M Philosophy
I believe that your home should be a reflection of who you are and how you live. Your home should tell your story.
I believe in creating calm, serene spaces, a refuge for your family at the end of the busy day.
I believe that you CAN create a beautiful organized home on a budget.
What is interior redesign?
Similar to traditional interior decorating but using your existing furnishings and accessories for most of your design, allowing you to easily transition your current style into something uniquely you.
Karla helped me narrow down my choices for flooring, backsplash and paint colors for my small kitchen remodel. She brought samples that she thought would fit into what I was wanting to do and answered the many questions I had. I definitely reccommend.

Karla was beyond supportive. We had a lot to go through and she was kind and gracious during the whole thing. She empowered us to make hard decisions and put us in the driver seat of our organization plans. I know it can feel intimidating to have someone come into your home and go through your things, but her professionalism will put you at ease as she dives in with you. Literally rolling up her sleeves!

I highly recommend Markie & Mariah Designs for any decorating or organizing project for your home. Karla is super sweet and full of excellent advice and ideas. She and her husband are easy going and very pleasant to work with. I could not be happier with the redecorating projects she helped me with. Very fair pricing as well. Love them!!

Markie and Mariah Designs were amazing! My daughter's hangout room is much more comfortable and usable now and I LOVE parking in my newly organized garage. I will book again for my basement.
