Meet Marina Radlinski | Palm Beach Organized Founder and CEO
We had the good fortune of connecting with Marina Radlinski and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Marina, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
I was born and raised in a small town just outside of Zurich, Switzerland, and coming from a blue-collar family, I always wanted more. I was drawn to experiences beyond the norm—travel, business, the luxury lifestyle. That drive pushed me to move to New York, where I worked in hospitality, mostly managing high-end restaurants. I absolutely loved the blend of customer service and creating luxury experiences, and now I bring that same energy to my clients as a professional home organizer.
During COVID, I decided to turn my lifelong passion for organizing into a business. When my husband’s job brought us to Florida, I never doubted that the success I had in New York would translate here in Palm Beach. And really, what better name for my business than “Palm Beach Organized”? It’s a perfect fit for this community, and I love helping people create beautifully organized spaces that reflect their lifestyles!
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Palm Beach Organized is truly a reflection of who I am—attention to detail, a love for luxury, and a passion for helping people live their best lives. What sets me apart is not just the services I provide but the genuine care I have for each client’s experience. I approach every project with the same high standards I learned in hospitality, making sure every detail is perfect and tailored to the client’s lifestyle.
I’m most proud of building a business that makes a real impact. Seeing the transformation in my clients’ homes and knowing that I’ve helped them create a space where they feel more at peace and in control—that’s what excites me every day.
Was it easy? Definitely not. Entrepreneurship has its ups and downs, especially in the beginning. The number of jobs fluctuated, and there were moments of doubt. But I’ve always believed in persistence. During slow times, I used the opportunity to keep learning—whether it was refining my business strategies or exploring new marketing possibilities. Staying proactive helped me overcome those challenges.
One major lesson I’ve learned along the way is that I don’t work with arrogant or entitled people. From my hospitality days, I know that no matter how much effort you put in, they’re never truly happy. It’s like serving a complimentary steak to an unhappy customer, only for them to still leave a bad review. The same applies to organizing—if someone can’t appreciate the effort and transformation, they’ll never be satisfied. So now, I focus on clients who are open, appreciative, and genuinely want to improve their space.
This business isn’t just a job for me—it’s living a dream almost every single day. Palm Beach Organized is more than a brand; it’s about creating luxury experiences that make people’s lives easier and more joyful. I want the world to know that I pour my heart into what I do, and that’s what makes all the difference.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend were visiting for a week, I’d make sure they experience the best of Palm Beach—amazing beaches, great restaurants, and a bit of local culture!
Monday: We’d kick off with lunch at Bice, followed by a stroll down Worth Avenue for some window shopping and people-watching. Of course, we’d stop by the iconic Clock Tower for some photos—it’s a must!
Tuesday: Spa day at Eau Palm Beach to relax and recharge. In the evening, we’d have a laid-back dinner at Benny’s on the Beach, enjoying the ocean view and fresh seafood.
Wednesday: A shopping day at The Gardens Mall. We’d spend the afternoon browsing through all the high-end stores and maybe treat ourselves to something special.
Thursday: Beach day! We’d soak up the sun on one of Palm Beach’s gorgeous beaches, then have a casual but delicious dinner at Food Shack—it’s the perfect spot for a laid-back evening.
Friday: A visit to the Norton Museum to get a little culture, followed by drinks at The Ben rooftop bar. The view is stunning, and it’s a great spot to wind down the week.
Saturday: Happy hour and an early dinner at Lynora’s for some fantastic Italian food and fun vibes. It’s the perfect place to spend a lively Saturday evening.
Sunday: Another beach day to wrap up the trip, because no visit to Palm Beach is complete without plenty of time by the ocean!
This itinerary balances relaxation, fun, and a bit of luxury—just like Palm Beach itself!
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’ve been fortunate to have so many influences along the way. First, my time in hospitality taught me countless life lessons, especially about attention to detail and creating exceptional customer experiences. Managing high-end restaurants in New York really shaped my understanding of luxury service and the importance of delivering above and beyond what’s expected.
In terms of organization, I’ve always been naturally organized, but Marie Kondo’s book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up really took my skills to another level. Her philosophy on decluttering and keeping only what sparks joy was a game-changer for me and helped shape the way I approach organizing for my clients. It made me realize that organizing isn’t just about creating order; it’s about transforming spaces to bring more peace and joy into people’s lives.
So, I’d have to give a huge shoutout to both my hospitality background and Marie Kondo for their impact on who I am and how I run Palm Beach Organized today!
