Hi! I’m Chelsie.

I am a home organizer and collage artist born and based in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from the University of Chicago and a Master of Urban Planning and Policy from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I have worked as a qualitative researcher and project manager on issues ranging from food access to transportation to gun violence. When I’m not organizing or collaging, you can catch me reading, gardening, cooking, and watching movies (I did say I was a hermit, right?). I also coordinate in-person events to build community around collaging, thrifting, repairing, and sharing our abundance.
