ShipShape is a partnership between Deborah Silberberg and
Sylvia Borchert.
Deborah Silberberg started working with individual clients 25 years
ago. Initially, she focused on bookkeeping and financial
management. However, being a problem solver at heart, she soon
found herself offering additional services like organizing a closet
or a garage, setting up a filing system, or helping with a move. Sylvia Borchert joined the company in 1994, bringing an extensive
background in event planning. Together they have expanded ShipShape into a full-service organizing consulting company, with offices
in Oakland and New York. They work with a team
of professionals with varied backgrounds in areas such as art,
catering, computers, design, and office management.
