The arange team

Arange was created by a team that has personal and professional experience with the work we do for our clients. We understand not just what needs to be done, but how it impacts you. Home is a very personal space, with memories, thoughts and emotions.

The Team

Lisa Dailey

Retail is one of those careers that gets in your blood and becomes a passion. For me, after 25 wonderful, crazy, years it was time for a change.  Fortunately, managing a Macy's store prepared me for almost anything and my new passion became organizing.  Between working with the public, managing large teams, and constantly trying to find new ways to fit 10 pounds into a 5 pound space, organizing allows me to use all the skills I’ve developed and have quite a bit of fun at the same time!

I’m a proud part of a military family that frequently moved preparing me at an early age to understand the need for simplicity and organization.  The ability to discern what is and is not important also served me well through 9 moves in my adult life and career, ensuring my “stuff” is meaningful and clutter-free. 

My perspective is that I absolutely have things I don’t need (like my wine cork collection) but they fit in my home, look attractive, and don’t overwhelm what’s really important … living!"

I believe everyone deserves the joy and peace that comes along with having an organized home but it can be an overwhelming task.  I have a natural instinct and sincere desire to help others through a challenge and have discovered that downsizing, organizing, and “aranging” is the perfect way to help others achieve those feelings in their homes.

I worked for many years in department store retailing, managing stores for a succession of companies (Thallhimers became Hecht’s, then Macy’s) here in Virginia and the Washington DC area. Wanting a change, I took a bit of time off to help my friend, Lisa, get a business she had started up and running … and got hooked! Having been friends for many years, we knew we had many similar interests but lots of differences as well. We were a bit unsure how that would work, but as it turns out, the differences helped us form a strong partnership and company.

I like the challenge of figuring things out, so planning out complex moves and dealing with complexity make this job very interesting for me. I’ve always been organized (ok … that’s an understatement) and like helping people achieve their own organizational goals.

I enjoy art and design in different styles and from many time periods. It’s fascinating to see what clients have collected over the years and gratifying to help them reimagine them in a new space.

Outside of work, I enjoy travel, museums, photography, movies and reading. I’m a devoted uncle and like to spend time with family, friends and my dog, Alfie.
