About Us

Practical, capable help for the life you actually live.

Janna Gilkison, founder of Simple San Diego

Meet the Founder

Hi, I'm Janna Gilkison.

I've always been the friend people call when a closet, a garage, or an entire move feels like too much. Simple San Diego grew out of that — a chance to turn a knack for order into steady, practical help for real households.

I work hands-on with every client, from a single overwhelming pantry to a full downsize. My promise is simple: no judgment, no pressure to part with what you love, and systems your family can actually keep up with. When I'm not organizing, you'll find me with family and friends (and my dog) in Encinitas.

How We Work

Three things you can count on.

Judgment-free

Every home tells a story. We meet you exactly where you are, with warmth and zero shame.

Sustainable

We donate, rehome, and recycle first — thoughtful decisions over quick disposal.

Discreet

Confidential and respectful of your home and your privacy.

Organized pantry with labeled jars and woven baskets

Our Process

Simple from the first conversation.

  1. 01

    Consult

    A relaxed walkthrough — in person or virtual — to understand your goals.

  2. 02

    Transform

    We sort, edit, and install systems while you stay as involved as you like.

  3. 03

    Maintain

    Simple labels, clear homes for everything, and check-ins when you need them.
