Olivia Prud’homme
Organizer
A lifelong organizer and native New Yorker, Olivia brings a unique combination of practical problem-solving and compassion to her role at DDH. Before joining the team, she worked as a Clinical Social Worker, Supervisor, Advisor, and professor to graduate students in social work, mental health counseling, and psychology.
Olivia was drawn to professional organizing by the opportunity to help people through transitional or overwhelming moments and create a sense of calm in their homes. She especially loves the “Tetris-like” challenge of making a space work just right — and seeing the relief clients feel when a project is complete.
Her best organizing advice? Simplify. You probably don’t need nearly as much as you think you do.
Outside of DDH, Olivia enjoys spending time with friends, family, and her kids, as well as reading, cooking, traveling, yoga, creative projects, and walking in the woods.

Lama Zeidan
Organizer
Lama brings a thoughtful, people-first approach to her role as a Professional Organizer with DDH. After transitioning from the corporate world, she was drawn to organizing by the opportunity to help others while experiencing the satisfaction of seeing a project come together from start to finish.
One of Lama’s favorite parts of the organizing process is helping clients rediscover things they’d forgotten they had — those little moments that can make transforming a space especially rewarding. Her philosophy is simple: start small and tackle one project at a time. By breaking organization into manageable steps, even the most overwhelming spaces can begin to feel achievable.
Outside of work, Lama loves to travel and explore new places. She describes herself as an open book and brings that same approachable, genuine nature to the clients and families she works with.

Diana Bassett
Organizer
Diana was born and raised in NY, and her passion for folding, sorting, and creating systems began early while working in retail during high school, where she discovered how thoughtful organization and presentation can transform a space, and how to fold a sweater perfectly.

Before transitioning into professional organizing, Diana spent over a decade working in public relations, partnering with clients across the entertainment, professional sports, fashion, tech, and lifestyle industries. That background sharpened her ability to manage complex projects, adapt quickly, and work calmly and efficiently under pressure.
Diana holds a B.A. in Film Production and a Master’s in Public Relations from Hofstra University. She is passionate about sustainability, eco-friendly practices, and non-toxic organizing solutions, and enjoys helping clients create systems that are both beautiful and mindful, often using what they already own whenever possible.

Tara Mann

Tara’s knack for transforming spaces began in childhood, moving frequently across the U.S. and Europe with her chemical engineer dad, stay at home mom and five sibilings. With each move, whether transitioning between large homes or cozy apartments, Tara was amazed by her mother’s ability to create organized and welcoming spaces in just a matter of days. Her mother’s mantra, “Pack one box and take only what you love,” instilled in Tara a profound appreciation for meaningful belongings and the art of decluttering. After earning a degree in history and fine arts from SMU, Tara’s journey led her from San Francisco to Boston and, finally, to New York, where she pursued a rewarding career in education. Known for her meticulously organized classrooms, Tara soon became the go-to person for helping colleagues revamp their spaces.

Kristin
Organizer
I started my career as a style editor at Condé Nast, and moved on to be President of a gallery and photo studio in Chelsea.
Most recently, I’ve collaborated with my partner in real estate development and design. We’ve worked on townhouses in Brooklyn, a farm in upstate New York, and multiple beach homes in New Jersey.
As much as I love to work outside the home, the most rewarding and challenging aspect of my life is raising my four children. They’ve patiently moved with us on many projects and tolerated living in multiple construction sites!
I’m thrilled to be part of the Done & Done and to watch the company grow and prosper!
The living room is my favorite space because we have an open floor plan that overlooks Brooklyn Bridge Park and the NYC Bridges. It’s the perfect room to entertain family and friends because while I’m cooking, we can all hang out together and enjoy the view.

Meg Koett
Social Media Manager & Copywriter
We didn’t have to search far when we were looking for someone to start up our marketing department. Meg Koett comes to us by way of family; sister to Ann and aunt to Kate, her hire was a no-brainer. We needed someone who knew us well enough to represent our brand and who better than a woman who has literally been there since day one?
Meg is a graduate of Ripon College, but decided early on to work from home while raising her two children. The co-founder of Jam Custom Handbags, Meg learned how to work with clients, how to advertise a brand and how to sell products online. After a successful run of five years, Jam closed their doors and Meg was available to put her knowledge to work for DDH.
Favorite space: My favorite space in my home is my exercise room. It’s very small but it has a ton of natural light so I always feel better after spending some time in there working out and getting my thoughts together!

VP, Operations
Meri was born and raised in New Jersey. After graduating from Lafayette College with a BA in English Literature, Meri began her career working in ad sales in New York City. She then ventured to the West Coast to explore all that San Francisco had to offer. Meri built her career in the Bay Area and spent over 12 years working for a large tech company in advertising sales, business operations, and client services, where she also met her husband Darby. After many years in San Francisco, they purchased their first home in Oakland which is when Meri realized her passion for home interiors and her desire to create functional and beautiful spaces. As their family grew, she tackled many remodels and design projects in their 1920’s East Bay home. When Meri and her husband decided to move back East to be closer to family, Meri de-cluttered, packed and staged their home which expedited the sale and increased the value. She is currently (and slowly) remodeling their NJ home one room at a time.
Meri has always enjoyed helping friends and family problem solve, organize and brainstorm ideas, and brings to Done & Done her expertise of project management, attention to detail and love of organization!
