Valerie Ruha

I'm Valerie, and this is my dream job, helping others get organized. I am a member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing (NAPO), have a certificate in Residential Organizing, and have experience working with people with ADHD and Chronic Disorganization. I also specialize in book and home library organization. I started my business to help people who struggle with organization find systems that work for them. My love of organization and books came early on in my childhood. I was often re-organizing my closet for fun. And I loved helping friends and family with organizing projects. I majored in English Literature and for many years I worked in bookstores, enjoying the process of organizing shelves and helping customers. Later I went on to become a marketing professional and for the past 20 years I have managed the Operations side of the business, perfecting my organization at the business level. Now I organize full time, helping people create spaces that work for them. In my spare time I'm a DIYer, an avid reader and love spending time with my family, friends and furry loved ones.
