Ruth Granen

Ruth Granen Ruth Granen is a Certified Interior Redesigner and is a member of Interior Redesign Industry Specialists (IRIS). She has a wonderful sense of design and the ability to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in any home. Her love of design and home organization led her to acquire professional training in Interior Redesign from Sharp Designs and in professional organizing from ProfessionalOrganizers.com. Ruth has extensive personal experience in home remodeling and landscape design, along with an ever-growing interest in antiques and collectables.

In her prior 15-year career with Bank of America as a Trust Officer and SVP, her main responsibility was to provide Trust services and financial support to her clients. However, she often faced requests from her elderly clients as they sought advice on other issues. One of the greatest needs her clients’ had was for assistance in downsizing and transitioning to a smaller residence. In working with these clients, Ruth recognized that leaving familiar surroundings and relocating to a new environment was stressful for anyone, especially seniors. She sought additional ways to help and developed expertise in many aspects of relocation and downsizing. Her versatility and compassion combine to make Ruth a valuable resource for anyone experiencing a home transition. Ruth is also an active member of the National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM) and National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO).
