About Jill, CPO®
Jill Viglione has always been passionate about organization. Her career in Portland as a Certified Professional Organizer (CPO®) with Embrace Your Space began over twenty years ago, when she accepted her first job—organizing a San Francisco Victorian knee-deep in clutter. She learned she loved inspiring her clients to find the hidden beauty in their spaces and helping them redesign their spaces and live better lives.
​
Jill is a co-author of Real Spaces, a coffee table style book that highlights realistic and beautiful organizing systems, providing step-by-step instructions on how to organize your home. Her organizing tips have been featured in Martha Stewart Living, Homes & Gardens, InStyle Magazine, Redfin, and she has appeared on KATU’s “Afternoon Live.” Her organizing systems have also been featured in Clark County's Parade of Homes.
​
​
Jill’s expertise as a Space Planner started with designing large subdivisions in upstate New York. After 10 years as a Floorplan Designer and Draftsperson, her clients love that her handwriting looks like it’s from a label maker!
​
Born in Poughkeepsie, New York, at 24 she packed up her Chevy Nova and drove across the country to a tiny apartment in San Francisco. After 15 years of loving the Bay Area, Jill moved to Portland in 2002 and loves it even more!
​
Jill graduated from Albany State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts. She is a former Vice President of Oregon’s Board of the National Association for Productivity & Organizing Professionals (NAPO). In 2020 she earned NAPO's highest credential: Certified Professional Organizer (CPO®). She also holds NAPO Certifications in two areas of expertise: Residential Organizing and Workplace Productivity.
Embrace Your Space is a Certified Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) and is fully licensed and insured.
