My Background

Hi! I’m Sarah McGill Brown, Ph.D., founder and lead organizer at Equilibrium.

I started working as a home organizer after getting my doctorate degree in sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. While my years in graduate school left me with expansive knowledge of social systems and interaction dynamics, my experience working my way through graduate school as a student-parent prompted deep empathy for other Triangle professionals facing similar work-life strains.

As I considered options for my next chapter, a friend of mine (and then another, and another…) asked for my help with home organizing. I discovered I love this line of work and decided to found Equilibrium to expand my services to households across the Triangle. Outside of my time organizing, I love going camping with my elementary-age son and hosting friends for brunch.
