LIZ JENKINS

Owner of A Fresh Space, Liz Jenkins, is ready to help make your life just a little bit easier

Liz started afs back in 2005 when her daughter was little and the organizing industry was pretty new. Over the last few decades, the company has expanded beyond organizing to include moving and unpacking and installations. Now, overseeing an amazing team of expert organizers and move managers, Liz also specializes in business consulting for service based business.

Partnering her professional experience with her dry sense of humor, Liz brings all sorts of fun facts and ideas to the table. With a background in working with developmentally challenged students, owning an art gallery, volunteer and board work with animal rescue, and national-level achievements in committee work, speaking engagements, and the organizing industry, Liz Jenkins has done it all. A mom, wife, cancer survivor, avid reader, kitten foster, foodie, adventurous cook, and gatherer of random but amazingly useful facts and information. For an introvert, she sure knows a lot of people and loves making connections that will better serve her clients and her team. 

LIZ & HER FRESH TEAM LOVE HELPING PEOPLE FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY WANT TO BE,
AND HELPING THEM GET THERE.

Looking for our Scottsdale AZ & Southwest FL Teams?

Our Southwest Florida Team

Lynn Cantisano, Organizer

With more than 20 years of design, remodeling, and real estate sales experience, Lynn has helped people achieve their dream of having a beautiful home.  What she also discovered along the way, is that her clients craved not just beautiful spaces, but organized, functional spaces as well.  Since she too is a lover of all things organized and a long-time friend of A Fresh Space, it seemed a natural extension to join forces.  Her areas of focus will be Lee and Collier Counties which include some of the fastest growing areas in the country including Naples, Ft Myers, Cape Coral, and the islands of Sanibel and Captiva.

As a 5th generation Floridian and Ft Myers native, she has seen a lot of changes in this area with ever-increasing demands on our homes, time, and lives.  Her 20+ years of buying and selling real estate in SW FL has naturally led to helping many of her client’s repair, re-design, and remodel their homes with an emphasis on kitchens, bathrooms, and closets. 

What has become apparent along the way, is that most people want their homes to not only look great but function well also.  Unfortunately, just as with remodeling, most people often feel overwhelmed by the process of getting organized and unsure of where to start which is why joining forces with AFS has been an amazing addition to our existing services.

Lynn truly believes organizing your spaces, either at home or in business and getting rid of clutter in your space can have a profound impact on your mind, body and spirit.
