Our Team
Stasia Steele (she/her)
Founder, Owner & Professional Organizer
Hello there!
I’m Stasia (pronounced like Asia), a super fun, driven and energetic Type A (an ENTJ on Myers-Briggs). I can easily see the chaos in people’s lives and through my hyper-organized, puzzle-solving brain, instinctively know how to put the pieces together for them.
In 2011, I created The Little Details to help individuals and families simplify their lives. With a psychology background, I’m able to help our clients with ADHD and OCD, while being sensitive to our clients vulnerabilities during life transitions.
In 2018, we opened a brick and mortar home, office and digital organizing studio in Cambridge, MA which is now our home base. We created a comfortable space for people to get to know all of us at TLD, learn how to get organized, find quality organizing products and leave feeling comfortable inviting us in to organize their homes.
I was on the board of the National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals New England chapter for nine years and the President for three of those years. I have appeared on the television series, “Hoarding: Buried Alive” on TLC, on WCVB’s Chronicle, in The Boston Globe, and many more that you can see on our media page here.
My specialties are designing closets, working with small businesses to create efficient workspaces as well as digital organizing. When I’m not organizing and running our Cambridge-based business, I’m busy renovating our home in Lexington and spending time with my husband, Bryan, and our Yorkie, Bodhi.
I look forward to helping you get organized and simplify your life.
Happy Organizing!
Abby McDermitt (she/her)
Professional Organizer & Team Manager
Abby was born and raised in Massachusetts. She graduated from Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and has worked in retail management for 14 years. She has always loved connecting with customers but came to a point where she wanted to have a larger impact on the client experience that big box retail could not provide. The Little Details was the perfect match, giving her the ability to work directly with clients to improve their lives in a myriad of ways. When Abby is not working you can find her drawing, exploring new restaurants in the city, or watching that new documentary that just came out.
Haley Short (she/her)
Professional Organizer
Haley is a lifelong New Englander who has been living in the greater Boston area since she started at Tufts University, where she earned her B.A. in Political Science & American Studies. She has always wanted to be a professional organizer but started out her career doing event operations for an education technology company. Haley discovered The Little Details by walking past the studio and decided to pursue her dream job – and the rest is history! She is most excited about helping clients simplify and destress their lives through organizing and system development. When she isn’t reorganizing her apartment in Somerville, Haley loves to listen to music, watch movies, garden, and row with her crew team on the Mystic River.
Noelle Hufnagel (she/her)
Professional Organizer
Noelle grew up on a lake in a small town near Detroit, Michigan. After college, she followed the bright city lights across Lake Michigan to Chicago where she lived for 10 years. In 2014, she relocated to the Boston area for work, a place she had never been and didn’t know a soul but one that came to feel like a blend of all her past homes. Her passion for organizing took many forms over the years. It started first at a young age with the arranging of words, ideas, and stories through writing. She earned a BA in Creative Writing from Western Michigan University, with a double minor in Interpersonal Communication and Film Production, and an MFA in Fiction Writing from Columbia College Chicago. She gained valuable experience as an editor, participated in story slams and readings, and published in various print journals and online magazines. Noelle also built a successful career in merchandising as a buyer and category manager for national retailers, sourcing products, negotiating deals, and leading countless product launches. Despite her corporate success, she felt a persistent pull towards organizing spaces, whether her own or helping friends and family. When she saw a "Now Hiring" sign at The Little Details studio, she realized it was the perfect chance to pivot her career. After meeting with Stasia and her amazing team, Noelle decided to live out the Hallmark movie version of her life, stepping away from her big corporate job to join forces with a local small business, reconnect with her community, and take pride and pleasure in helping others achieve a lighter, more organized life. When Noelle is not organizing, she loves exploring, exercising, reading, writing, creating, and crafting elaborate party decorations for children’s birthday parties.
Paloma Springer (she/her)
Professional Organizer
Paloma is originally from New Mexico, she moved to Boston after graduating with a degree in Special and Elementary Education from the University of New Mexico. She earned an Elementary diploma from the Montessori Training Center Northeast and taught in public high school and elementary Montessori schools. She enjoyed creating organized environments for her students to thrive in and has always found herself helping friends and family declutter or brainstorm new ways to organize a space. When she walked into The Little Detail Studio and discovered her passion could be her job, she was ecstatic! Paloma brings the skills and training from teaching to her career working with TLD clients. When Paloma is not at work, she is cooking, attending yoga classes, planning her next trip and spending quality time with friends and family.
Sophie Brown (she/her)
Professional Organizer
Born and raised in Boston, MA with a B.S. in Resource Economics from Umass Amherst. Sophie's love for organizing started early, what started as a favor for a neighbor quickly turned into a full-scale home decluttering project. Having discovered this talent, she has been organizing and decluttering clients’ spaces with a passion ever since. Sophie loves helping clients reclaim their space and guiding them through the process to set them up for success. After a decade of independent organizing work, Sophie joined our team because she was blown away by what she could accomplish and the change she could affect by collaborating with a team. When she's not organizing, you can catch Sophie hiking but inevitably stopping to pet every dog that crosses her path.
