about me
Recovering corporate overachiever 👋
These days, I’m figuring out what calm really feels like, and helping others find it too.
Hi, I’m Sammy Lucko — professional organizer and the heart (and label maker) behind Sorted by Sammy.
I’ve lived in Oakbank pretty much my whole life. Small-town roots, big love for cozy spaces, and a deep appreciation for slowing down. I understand what it’s like to juggle work, family, expectations… and the never-ending laundry pile that somehow multiplies overnight.
For 16 years, I climbed the corporate ladder. On paper, I was thriving. In real life? I was exhausted.
My days were full, but my tank was empty. Everything felt busy and loud, and I couldn’t find the calm I needed.
Organizing was always the thing that grounded me. When life felt heavy, I’d start sorting a drawer, color-coding files, or decluttering something — not because it looked pretty, but because it helped me breathe again.
It was never about perfection.
It was about peace.
That feeling when you walk into a space and instantly exhale because everything is finally where it belongs.
Eventually, I made a big decision: I left corporate life behind. Now I spend my days fixing messes I actually want to clean up.
Today, I work with busy families, professionals, small businesses, and educators across Oakbank and Winnipeg who are ready for their spaces to function beautifully and efficiently.
My corporate background taught me how powerful the right systems can be — and today I bring that same structured, practical approach into every space I work in.
I specialize in creating sustainable systems for well-lived spaces that are ready for a fresh start. No judgment. No perfectionism. Just functional solutions, approachable style, and a bit of sarcasm to keep things fun.
Because organizing isn’t about having a picture-perfect pantry (though I’ll never say no to a good rainbow sort 😉).
It’s about making life easier, lighter, and more enjoyable.
Whether it’s a full-home reset, a kitchen that finally makes sense, an office that needs better workflow, or a storage space that’s gotten out of hand…
When I’m not labeling everything in sight, I’m probably watching Below Deck with my husband, crafting with my kiddo, cuddling my dogs, or mentally reorganizing whatever room I’m sitting in.
Will I actually get up to do it? Debatable.
Less mess. More peace.
That’s the magic behind Sorted by Sammy. 🩷
