About Cakewalk.
I’ve always loved making a space feel sweet. Perfect, even. I’m kind of obsessed with it, actually.
I like things that are both practical and pretty, and I have a propensity for making pretty practical things feel pretty cute, too.
After moving and setting up homes and offices dozens of times for myself and others, I’m taking my knack for all-things-home (decor, spiffing things up, making rooms sparkle, helping small spaces feel magically bigger… even revamping a wardrobe or room on a budget) into my sweet clients’ spaces.

My goal, always, is to help Cakewalk clients stay on top of those never-ending home or office wish lists and to do lists and to help make your home, office - even your wardrobe or pesky closets - as practically perfect (for you!) as can be.
I work with only the kindest people and offer personalized support for homes, apartments and offices, including decorating, organizing, de-cluttering, tidying up and online / in-store shopping.
Just need help deciding on a hundred things and making progress on projects you keep putting off? I’d love to make things feel easy, breezy and possible. Possibly even fun, too. ;)
Want the scoop on Cakewalk Sessions? You got it. (Here's the scoop.)
Hi! I’m Dana.
Super glad
to meet you.
You have a to-do list with a thousand things on it.
Good thing I love to do a thousand things to help people feel more at home…at home. ;)
What Cakewalk Clients Say*
From daunting to done.
“Dana is the #1 reason my adulting to-do list actually gets done! She brings a friendly, non-judgmental, kind, efficient, competent energy to all those pesky projects that I’ve had to shove onto the back burner over time. She truly makes daunting projects a cakewalk. :)”
— Annie, Seattle
Stress-relieving and fun.
“Working with Cakewalk/Dana was stress-relieving, productive, and fun at the same time! I didn’t know where to start, in terms of finding furniture for my place. I was so grateful to have the support of someone who actually enjoys shopping, knows exactly where to look, and is dedicated to making your home feel more like “you”!”
— Mari, Seattle
Spoonful of sugar.
“When I hired Cakewalk, I was feeling stuck with so many aspects of my creative life and home. My demanding 9-5 job doesn’t leave me with a lot of energy at the end of the day so evenings with Dana were just the spoonful of sugar I needed.
Our first session we walked through my home, show and telling all the unfinished projects and small annoyances that had accumulated. She took notes and gently offered sweet solutions as we went. Each session after, we chipped away at the list, and I felt lighter every time. There are seriously tasks I have been sitting on for 5+ years that Dana helped me accomplish in a day!
Dana’s eye for detail and décor is a dream. From day one, Cakewalk has brought a peace and ease to my life I didn’t know was possible.”
— Tavia, Seattle
A huge boost.
“Dana brings fresh and positive energy to projects that feel old and stale. She brings new momentum and works very efficiently, plus she’s a really fun person to work with! I feel SO encouraged today by all we got done - it was a huge boost!!”
— Amber, Mountlake Terrace
Organized, styled…and dreamy.
“I enlisted Cakewalk support initially for my home. I spend all my creative energy and problem-solving on my clients at work and needed Dana’s support in coming up with better ways to organize little corners around my home that needed some help. She was able to come up with a plan during the consult then jumped right in to sorting, organizing, and styling at our session - it was so dreamy to have this kind of help!
I run my own business and have projects behind the scenes that I need help with, what a treat to work with Cakewalk on some not-so-sweet/exciting things that just need to get off my to do list. I’m always pleasantly surprised by how effortlessly she can handle these projects that were always lingering and it made me feel lighter, more space in my schedule and in my brain to focus on other things.”
— Rachel, Seattle
A transformed space.
“Having Cakewalk help me around the home has been a delight! Dana helped me transform my living/work area into a space that feels good to be in. My space is now organized, pretty to look at, and is all about ME.”
— Jocelyn, Lake City
*Ok, fine … I’m a sucker for sweet words from sweet clients.
