Thanks to these panelists for agreeing to be on our Zuhuz It! Creating Spaces Panel Discussion on July 24, 2023, at Flying Pig Improv in Wichita, Kansas.
About the event: Does your home feel like a crash pad, a place just to sleep and store your stuff? With a few simple tweaks, you can transform your space into a comforting, nurturing place to be. In this informative panel discussion, our experts will discuss how to downsize and declutter, design, and organize your house to make it a home.
Panelists:
Kirsten Awe, the owner of Rightsize Moving Solutions, is a native Kansan who has lived in the Wichita area for over 35 years. What started as a love for organizing and helping people set up their homes led Kirsten to begin her career as a Professional Organizer. After establishing a reputation for high-quality work and a trustworthy name, the organizing business expanded into a home staging service and furniture consignment store.
Eventually, Kirsten started to specialize in working with seniors on various relocation and downsizing projects. She fell in love with the process of helping seniors and their families during one of the most challenging times in their lives. That passion and talent, combined with the overwhelming need for an honest, reliable resource in the community, led her to launch Rightsize Moving Solutions, which has grown into a full-service moving, relocation, and transition service business.
Kirsten is set apart from other Wichita moving company owners by her professionalism and expertise offered in every service. Kirsten has several certifications and holds membership with the following local and national professional transition and organizing organizations.
