GUEST BIO

Carrie VomSteeg realizes now that she had an organizing problem back in junior high. Making sure her closet was lined up a certain way and everything in her room had a place felt … peaceful. And right. And normal. Now she helps other people get their spaces in order, bringing calmness and restoring the peace in their homes and businesses. Besides being a decluttering and organizing expert, Carrie is a writer and freelance editor. Maybe someday, she’ll write a book about all things organizing. Or maybe she’ll just think about it while alphabetizing her spices.

Carrie has one husband, two sons, and a new daughter-in-law. She calls Southern California home again, but recently spent 12 years in Mexico with college students and piles of tacos.
