Decluttering Spaces
& Transforming Lives
Welcome to Me vs Me
Helping Cultivate the Next Generation of Creators
Me vs Me started as an idea to bring some of the most notable female deejays in Houston together to celebrate Women's History Month (March 2021) through an affinity of music. At the time, it was uncommon to see more than 1 female DJ performing on the same stage, let alone have an ALL FEMALE DJ LINEUP. It was a great opportunity for individuals to catch their favorites performing while getting an introduction to other phenomenal talent in the city. The response from the initial event was so overwhelming, Michele soon realized that this was something bigger than she initially envisioned.
Mission Led and Vision Led
Bridging The Gap
Creative arts & music are vital in the enhancement of mental awareness and development for all ages. They have been proven essential in the development of children's motor skills, language, decision-making, inventiveness & cultural awareness. In older adults, geriatric medicine has proven that art + music therapy have positive effects on individuals by inducing psychological and physiological healing. Several studies show that art can reduce depression and anxiety just making it good for mental health overall.
Through our 5013c, the Me vs Me Foundation is bridging the gap of access to programs and classes that used to be acceptable in public schools. We offer equipment for hands on learning, team building through workshops and positive mentors to further enhance core values and build professional skills.

Space Planning
Organizers evaluate the layout of a home and suggest optimal furniture arrangements and storage solutions to maximize space and improve flow.
