Meet the MACMOM
My name is Marisa Smith, and I am a professional home organizer based in Madison, NJ. As a busy mom of three girls, I discovered the transformative power of simplicity and organization in creating a calm, harmonious home and streamlined daily routine.
With a passion for interior design, I believe organization should be more than functional—it should be beautiful, intuitive, and easy to maintain. I love creating thoughtful systems that bring balance, efficiency, and a sense of calm to homes and workspaces.
I founded MACMOM Organizing in 2020, and what began as a passion has grown into a team of six dedicated professional organizers serving clients throughout New Jersey. We are proud to be the In-Home Organizing Partner for The Container Store at its Livingston and Bridgewater, NJ locations.
Our services include home organization, decluttering, move management, packing, unpacking, and concierge move-in services. Whether you’re downsizing, renovating, moving into a new home, or simply ready for a more organized space, our team creates seamless, stress-free transitions from start to finish. From walk-in-ready kitchens and organized closets to complete room setup, we make your new home feel beautifully settled from day one.
Before becoming a professional home organizer, I spent a decade in the pharmaceutical industry at Glaxo, Covance, and Merck, working in Oncology Clinical Research. While home organization and clinical research may seem unrelated, both require meticulous attention to detail, efficiency, problem-solving, and the ability to manage complex projects within tight timelines.
After leaving my career in Big Pharma, I embraced life as a stay-at-home mom to my three daughters—Morgan, Amanda, and Charlotte—who inspired the name MACMOM Organizing. During those years, I became deeply involved in my community, volunteering with organizations close to my heart, including The Junior League of Morristown and Covenant House NJ, where I remain an active volunteer today.
I’m also a member of The Co-Co in Summit, NJ, and a co-leader of the B.I.G. Chatham/Madison Pod, where I connect and collaborate with fellow business leaders to support growth, innovation, and community.
At MACMOM Organizing, my goal is simple: to create spaces that are not only organized and beautiful, but truly work for the way you live.
Why Home Organization?
As a certified neat freak, I love using my talents for organization to make other people’s lives better. I have always organized my own home and helped friends with projects around their homes, so I decided to take the next step and turn my passion into a business.
My Approach
I believe home organization is about more than baskets and bins, it’s about creating systems that work for your space and your lifestyle. My team and I create spaces that are both functional and beautiful with our client’s particular needs in mind. We make sure that everything has a space and a place and that the systems we put in place are easy for our clients to maintain.
What to Expect
I am hands-on with every project that I’m hired for. I don’t consider a project completed until you are completely satisfied. I always respond quickly if any questions arise - even months after a project is complete. In fact, many of my past clients are now my friends.
What People Are Saying
“It has been a pleasure to work with Marisa and her team. During my first project, Marisa transformed my over cluttered pantry into a visual work of art. Not only does everything have a place, but I can finally stop stock piling and create a back stock bin with just the items we run out of the most.”

“An amazing talent. A whirlwind. Like Mary Poppins. She will come in and have your home looking like a designer magazine.”
— Anne, Scarsdale, NY
“Incredible talent, amazing creativity and a work ethic beyond description. If you are moving, you DO need Marisa. She handles it all with ease!”
— Judith, Madison, NJ
