meet our team

Acorn and Oak was founded in 2021 by Cornelia, a professional organizer and decluttering coach based in Atlanta. Ever since she can remember, she’s had a natural inclination toward tidying and organizing. As a child, she would often entertain herself by sorting everything in her mom’s purse during long car rides, finding cabinets to organize, or being the official family mail sorter. She is a devotee to the sense of peace that comes with a home where every item has a designated spot, or with a completed to-do list, and is honored that so many people have trusted her to come into their spaces and support them through these processes. In her spare time you might find her foraging for wild foods, writing, or seeking out the nearest swim spot wherever she is.

Kara is one of the team’s extraordinary organizers! A midwesterner, eldest daughter, and Virgo by birth, she fits all those molds with a little room to spare. After moving to Atlanta in 2017, she found her footing as an executive assistant in the film industry, keeping all the plates in the Art Department spinning. Between gigs, she would find herself reorganizing spaces for herself and others and. When she met Cornelia and learned about Acorn & Oak, she knew she had found her calling! When she's not there, you might find her slinging her nostalgia-inspired Beanie Baby creations at local craft fairs.

Moira is another all-star organizer on the Acorn & Oak Team. Originally hailing from North Carolina, she made her way to Atlanta in 2020, and has fallen in love with the city in the years since. She spent many years working behind the scenes in food access organizations, and is still an avid cook and gardener. Her love for working with people and natural penchant for creating tidy, welcoming spaces made organizing a natural next step in her career. Moira can be trusted to bring innovation and transformation to any space - closet, garage, pantry, shed, you name it! Her favorite part of her work is the relationships she gets to build with clients as she cares for their homes.
