Meet Kate
Give us a quick introduction
I am Kate Padget-Koh, founder of Fashionable Futures, a sustainable fashion consultancy and community, and an artist. I have lived in Hong Kong for 25 years. We live in a beautiful Villa in Clearwater Bay with our lovely pets.
Why did you decide to hire us?
I wanted a fresh energy in my home. Being a clear believer in the power of organisation and clearing clutter, I know the benefit of having someone take my dressing room and studio to a new level of energy and ease. I have always worked in fashion, which equates to a lot of clothes, shoes and bags. While I had done some wardrobe detoxing, there were items I was hanging onto.
My studio had been a mixed-use space, with some admin, as well as painting and creating. I needed that to have a new vibe for creativity.
What was the most surprising part of the process?
Firstly, once I had booked the session, I started to clear up the space. I was sorting items and being clear on what I wanted to achieve from the time with Nassim. I was slightly nervous about having someone in such an intimate space as my dressing room. However, Nassim was sensitive and picked up on my preferences very quickly. She distinguished what brought me joy and what I was not likely to wear because of its colour or heaviness. She had me take action and be complete with everything. Everything had been handled when she left, and there was no list of tasks to deal with afterwards. There was a great sense of freedom and ease; I slept really well that night.
How has the organization benefited you in your daily life?
Tremendously. Whenever I walk into these spaces, I feel happy and calm. Nassim had me get items to enhance the organisation of the space. Everything has its own place, which really benefits everyday life. When I see my dressing room and studio are getting more things in them, it is time to clear up and create more space. The system Nassim created has made life so easy and keeps my hardworking wardrobe efficient. My life is hectic, and these have been priceless enhancements.
Did you have any hesitations about the service?
As I said earlier, I was slightly nervous about having someone in an intimate space. However, this was not my experience, and Nassim returned for another few sessions. As for the cost, Nassim and her team are so efficient. This is money well spent.
