Have you ever found a solution to a problem that was so exciting, you wanted to share it with as many people as possible? That’s how Patty became passionate about organizing. After discovering how something as simple as organizing a sock drawer could make a morning routine flow much easier, she became determined to apply similar order to the rest of her life and then to share her love of organization with other people.

Patty is a Certified Professional Organizer (CPO) and an active member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO). She has conducted training seminars and has assisted a variety of clients including business professionals, relocation companies and homeowners. She enjoys helping clients lead more effective and productive lives through better organization. There is nothing more gratifying than to hear a client say “you have changed my life!”

Patty joined The Amandas in 2006 after being in the organizing industry since 2003. She is thrilled to be part of an organizing team and to belong to a growing organization. Prior to organizing professionally, Patty used her organizing skills as a real estate appraiser and a corporate relocation specialist.

Taking a tip from Florynce Kennedy’s quote, “Don’t agonize, Organize”, Anne Mullen has fallen in love with helping clients transform cluttered, stress-inducing spaces into organized environments.

After graduating from the University of Mississippi with a degree in Journalism and English, Anne spent time working for Coastal Living and Southern Living magazines. It was there where she found her passion for interior design and the homes industry. “I believe a living space is an anchor for your life but can also be a spring board for all successes,” says Anne. “From personal experience, I have found that once clutter is eliminated I can reach my creative potential and live much more freely.”

Anne is excited and proud to be part of a company that helps improve others’ lives. Each day is a new adventure and she is thrilled to be part of such an amazing organization.

With a flair for art and an eye for design Cassie quickly fell in love with being an organizer. She feels that organizing is another form of art in that each project requires a personal contribution to make it the best space for each specific client. “We work so intimately with our clients and we work so hard to make the space perfect for them; each and every project is a one of a kind masterpiece when we are done. We find things that are important to each client and work with those things to make the space not just functional, but beautiful and inviting.”

Once on board at The Amandas Cassie purchased a historic bungalow that needed to be completely remodeled, “others looked at the house and saw worn out floors, damaged walls, and a lot of work, but I saw fresh tile, shining hardwood floors, and a home.” The same is true when it comes to organizing. Cassie has an amazing ability to walk into a home that is completely disorganized and clearly see what it will look like when we are finished and the path to help the client get there.

And as Cassie says “as fate would have it I have become what she was always meant to be – an Amanda!”

With a strong desire to help others organize their lives, Jordan received a degree in Managerial Finance from the University of Mississippi. After a brief career in the financial sector, Jordan realized that her organizational expertise extended beyond advising clients’ money management. When Jordan made the decision to leave her Jackson, Mississippi roots, New Orleans stole her heart and a job offer from ‘The Amandas’ sealed the deal.

“I have found my dream job- I feel so blessed to be an Amanda. It is truly a remarkable feeling to wake up every morning passionate about the challenges you may face—proud of what you do and who you represent.”

Jordan is beyond excited to do everyday what she does best: creating clutter-free environments, so that every area of each person’s life she comes across can realize its full potential. Living by her favorite saying, "there is a place for everything and everything should be in place," each organizational challenge finds an inspirational solution in Jordan's world.

With a life motto of “Get it done”, Lauren knew the organization industry was a perfect fit. She is continually amazed at how a cluttered space has the power to transform someone’s mood for better or worse. Having the ability to put organizational systems in place for a client, which will be functional, efficient, and visually appealing, brings her a sense of peace and happiness that cannot be quantified.

Lauren joined The Amandas as Office Manager in 2009 after a career in retail management, independent sales, and event planning. She has a Master of Arts degree in Adverting and Public Relations as well as a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communication. Lauren’s background in sales, consulting, and marketing gives her a good idea of what clients need, how they think, and how our products will translate into making their lives better.
 

For her entire life, Bridget Laborde has possessed a strong desire to help others stay organized, de-cluttered and most importantly, stress-free. She is passionate about creating spaces that not only have order and function, but design and tranquility as well.

Bridget received an undergraduate degree in Marketing from Louisiana State University, followed by a Masters in Business Administrations from University of New Orleans. Bridget also has a background in wedding planning and consequently, has experience in helping those with tasks that may feel daunting or overwhelming. “Whether it is planning a 400 person wedding or organizing a dresser drawer, I find that many people put extra pressure on themselves as soon as a task arises,” says Bridget. “I love helping others take a step back from the big picture and break it down to small, manageable tasks in order to complete the project, but more importantly, have fun while doing so.”

Each and every day Bridget is thankful to be an Amanda, so that each and every day she can help others enjoy a new, fresh and organized life.
