We met when our kids were small, and between us, we have six wonderful daughters. After moving our oldest daughters to college, we realized how overwhelming and stressful it could be to gather all the essentials for a dorm room. Both of our daughters were moving out of state—one within driving distance and the other requiring a flight. The experience of trying to organize and shop for everything, especially with the challenges of long-distance travel, left us thinking, there has to be a better way.
That’s when we decided to create a service to take the stress out of dorm shopping and setup for other families. Our mission is to simplify the process, whether you’re moving your child down the street or a bit further. We aim to help families gather all the essentials and create an organized, stylish dorm space that makes students feel at home from day one.
Outside of work, we enjoy spending time with family and friends, exercising, reading, and, of course, a great beach day. These are the things that inspire us to create calm, welcoming spaces for students as they embark on their college journey.

Our mission is to simplify the transition from home to campus by providing a seamless dorm room setup experience.
