I was born to become a professional organizer. As a little girl, I lined all of my stuffed animals up according to height. I was the only teenager I knew who put all of my makeup and hairstyling products away in little drawer organizers before I left for school every morning. Organizing is second nature to me.

My first professional organizing experience came while I was still in college. I set up a system for the drycleaners where I worked to help them process people’s clothes more efficiently, with the goal of not losing or mixing up any items. They still use my system today, and unfortunately, I have to admit that college was 20 years ago.

During the 1990’s, I focused my attention on event planning. I've organized a wide variety of events including an annual week-long summer camp for more than 100 children with special medical needs, black-tie affairs for 400, in-home parties, and business meetings.

One of my biggest successes to date was organizing a new system for inventorying and maintaining a camp store with more than 200,000 items, that was housed in a warehouse for most of the year, and then had to be transported to and from the off-site camp. The result was amazing! I designed a totally mobile system that could be maintained easily throughout the year, and when transported, could be set up at camp within an hour!

When I moved into a smaller house “Inside the Perimeter” and heard other people talking about how little closet space they have, how busy and overwhelmed they feel, it occurred to me that not everyone thinks that organizing is fun! (duh) I started Order in the House so that I could help people become organized in their homes and enjoy their lives more.
