About Carin
I have always been an orderly and organized thinker. I enjoy sorting and organizing things -- from books to cleaning supplies to my husband's socks --
and I have been known to rearrange furniture in the middle of the night because something didn't fit properly. I am a huge fan of efficiency and I believe all processes can be streamlined and improved to better suit the people who use them.
I spent more than ten years in retail merchandising and management, creating appealing displays for stores and managing warehouses and storerooms full of merchandise, with a focus on ease of use and quick access. After I married, I shifted gears and went to work as an editor for an educational publisher, helping to create books and other classroom materials for students with special needs. What do those two careers have in common? Organization! Even at the publisher, it was necessary to boil each product down to its simplest, most effective form, and to structure the material so that a student with a cognitive disability could understand and benefit from it.
In addition to a passion for organization, I also love working with people. I love getting to know people and figuring out how I can help them rediscover their space, and sometimes their sanity along with it. Discovering people's unique personalities and finding ways to help them organize their lives is one of the true joys of my work. I look forward to helping you clear the way for the next step in your journey!
