The ShipShape Story

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 an office in Oakland. They work with a team of professionals with varied backgrounds in areas such as art, catering, computers, design, and office management.

ShipShape has been featured on HGTV and NPR and in numerous publications including two Sunset books: ‘Smart Closet Makeovers‘ and ‘Home Organizing and Closet Makeovers‘.
