About Us

According to the Frontier Group, the US generates about 4.9 pounds of trash per person per day, the largest amount of waste per person of any country worldwide. Furthermore, the US generates 12% of the world's waste but is home to only $5 of the world’s population. These numbers are what motivates us here at Jo & Co.

Founded in 2023 by Jonas White, our mission is to help organize the world, one room at a time, in a sustainable manner. We are Chicagoland’s premier sustainable home and office organization company. We help to organize your home and office, and instead of throwing out all of the items you no longer want or need, we work to sell, donate, or recycle the items. We believe that if people keep the world around them organized, their lives will be easier and simpler.

While organization is a primary focus, we also enjoy planning and producing events including weddings, personal parties, and corporate events.

The Jo&Co. Difference

The primary difference from other organization companies is sustainability. We go above and beyond for our clients by not only organizing their homes but also helping to find new homes for the items they no longer want or need. With most companies, the client is responsible for getting rid of the unneeded items, here at Jo & Co. we take this responsibility off your hands.

Additionally, from our first interaction, we want you to feel comfortable welcoming us into your lives. We create a supportive, non-judgmental space while we help you decide what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

Jonas White

Founder & CEO

From a young age, Jonas has always been obsessed with clean. So much so his most memorable Christmas gift from childhood was a small handheld Hoover vacuum. His mother will tell you his room was always spotless, so much so that when the cleaning lady would come into his room, she wouldn’t have to do anything but change the sheets. Jonas graduated from Indiana University - Bloomington with a bachelor’s in Apparel Merchandising. So, needless to say, he knows a thing or two about fashion. He is consistently keeping up with the latest fashion trends. Jonas has worked in the Buying offices of Nordstrom and has a keen eye to help you edit your wardrobe.
