True Story
Shea started organizing at nine years of age in her Nanna’s kitchen cupboards. Having organized for family and friends for years, Shea began to realize that this skill was not something everyone possessed when she joined the working world and encountered the disorder of many offices. Throughout her various positions, Shea honed her methods of systematizing. Whether a company-wide filing system, a seat move for 40 traders, or an office neglected since the 80’s, Shea found a solution that would transform chaos into tranquility and order.
In 2004, Shea decided to offer her organizational skills to individuals for their homes and offices. She founded her own business as a Professional Organizer. With as many different approaches to organizing as there are personalities, her unique approach is to find the organizing solution that is right for the individual and tailored to the way that person thinks.
Disorganization is spontaneous, but organization requires action, effort, planning, and good old fashioned hard work. As long as the second law of thermodynamics is in place, Shea will be exerting energy to keep order at True.
