Meet fran.

Hi. I’m the mom behind the mask, and I started working on Fran to help with the chaos. Things are a bit crazy as I’m dealing with a full-time job, three kids - two of them human, one a dog roughly the size of a loveseat - and a century-old fixer-upper that needs a lot of love and has never once been fully organized.

Fran was born out of a very specific rage: standing in a room I know holds the thing I’m looking for, but buying a new one anyway. Now I own three of everything. I wanted a tool to help me get organized, from the holiday decorations to the battery packs to the four pairs of matching tongs. So I started working on Fran for me, but I also wanted to share her with you.

The plot twist: I am not a tech person, so it surprises everyone, me included, that playing with AI helped bring Fran to life. As I started to build, I decided to have some fun getting ready for Halloween - yes, in June. So there will be so much more to come with holidays, home decor, and organization fun. Fran is helping me with my home, and maybe she’ll help with yours too.

Welcome to my calmed chaos. Come on in.
