Monica Leed is the CEO and owner of Simply Spaced. With a design background in the fast-paced film industry, she has spent over ten years cultivating a curiosity in the art of efficient space design, time management, and the power of organizational systems. In 2011, an unexpected curve ball reminded her that work without a balanced home life can leave someone to feel stuck and overwhelmed. By consciously creating space and time for what mattered most, ridding herself of the non-essential—or as organizers call it, decluttering—she learned that order was the catalyst for creativity. By applying principles and hacks to her own life, she's become passionate about enabling transformation in the lives of others by creating space for what truly matters.
