Hi, I’m Dafina Fuqua, an Intuitive Professional Organizer and owner of OCbyD. It’s been nearly 10 years of being a Professional Organizer (wild to type that!), and my approach to being organized has been something I’ve intuitively carried with me all of my life, shaping how I practice and bring services to you.

Looking back, I think I was always meant to do this work. In preschool, while other kids were just stacking blocks for fun and giggles, I was busy color-coordinating them and arranging them by height order—because even then, things just had to make sense. Around the same time, I also started noticing something else: I could pick up on different energies around me in a way that, to my knowledge, my classmates weren’t. Who knew those two things would shape my future?

So, about a decade ago, when I was still working for some well-known companies as an Executive Assistant and Administrative Assistant, I constantly found myself organizing and decluttering spaces that were “calling for help.” Yes, I was that person in the office. Everything from the office kitchen to the office supply room to documentation. You name it, I organized it and would get recognized for doing so. They just needed better systems to be able to see what was there and find what they needed more efficiently. I would do the same thing for friends and family but with their closets. In 2015, I was in the midst of orchestrating a massive office relocation with more moving parts than I care to mention, and I had an epiphany: Why am I not organizing full-time? I completed the move, resigned from my position, took a much-needed break(that multi-layered move was a lot!!), and then began creating OCbyD.

For years, I simply called myself a Professional Organizer, but the more I leaned into my natural abilities—both in organization and in sensing the energy of a space—the more I realized that title didn’t quite fit anymore. I’m not just decluttering and creating functional, beautiful systems; I’m tuning into what a home feels like, how the energy flows, and what subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle shifts can make a home a more peaceful and supportive space. That’s why I now call myself an Intuitive Professional Organizer—because my process is about more than ensuring your items are in order; it’s about organizing with the intention to help you feel good in your home, too.

What started as an intuitive, subconscious skill has become something I want to offer intentionally: a blend of home organization and energetic alignment via different tools I’ve learned to use for those who are open to it.

At the heart of my work is the same mission I started with: to declutter homes and create solutions that bring calm and sense to busy lives. And hey, if you’re like, “Dafina, I’m happy for you that you’re evolving, but I just need this pantry organized,” I can do that, too.
