Your partner through the planned & the unexpected.

Events - Creating Space
$0.00

From early brainstorming to day-of details, I support events at any stage so you can actually enjoy the process instead of just managing it.

  • Event vision and planning – Clarifying goals, mood, and overall concept

  • Logistics and vendor coordination – Managing venues, vendors, timelines, and run-of-show

  • Guest experience – Invitations, RSVPs, seating, accessibility, and flow

  • Day-of coordination – Overseeing setup, vendors, and real-time problem-solving

  • Post-event wrap-up – Handling returns, thank-yous, and loose ends

Event examples

  • Corporate meetings, retreats, and celebrations

  • Nonprofit fundraisers, galas, and community events

  • Private parties, showers, birthdays, proposals, and milestones

  • Celebrations of life, memorials, commemorations

Projects - Lending a hand

When there aren’t enough hours in the day, I step in to keep your projects moving. From everyday logistics to one-time special initiatives, I handle the details so you and your team can stay focused on what matters most.

  • Office moves or workspace refreshes

  • Team appreciation, gifts, and culture-building

Personal - Sharing the load
$0.00

I’m here for the seasons of life when your to‑do list feels endless. From researching summer camps and curating venues or catering for an important event, to sourcing, wrapping, and sending gifts, or even helping you pack for a move — I’m the extra set of hands you can count on when it’s all too much to manage alone.

Personal project examples

  • Life admin catch-up and household organization

  • Move management and home setup

  • Family logistics and kids’ activities (like camps)

  • Special event, memorial, and celebration planning

  • Gift planning, purchasing, wrapping, and sending

  • Small-scale travel research, planning, and itineraries

  • Long-postponed “back-burner” tasks

Who I am

Hello! I’m Andrea, jack of many trades, master of a few.

Most of my life, I considered starting my own business, but I struggled to figure out what it would look like. I enjoy projects of all kinds, especially events, and collaborating with smart, interesting people in collegial ways.

Making space in all its forms is core to who I am and how I operate.

Odds & Ends started because I want to keep exploring ways to help people when they need an extra hand to see something important come to fruition, especially during times of change or uncertainty.

It has been my privilege to share some of life's happiest, saddest, most rewarding, and most challenging moments with incredible people. Their partnership, humor, grace, trust, and generosity of spirit during these times have shaped my journey toward this venture.

I treasure the relationships I've built with friends, family, colleagues, dogs, my community, and clients. The ampersand in Odds & Ends is intentional — I have a hard time editing what matters to me. Therefore: and & and & and.

While I see all the details and I know they matter, I believe that imperfections do not ruin good things…Such as the toilet visible in the background of this very cute selfie.
