A Note from our Founder

I started American Life Organizing in 2020. I'd spent several years working in fashion as a personal stylist, helping people edit their wardrobes, rebuild their closets, and figure out how to make their spaces work better for their lives.

I’ve always had an eye for order — probably because I was raised by a mom who was both an artist and extremely organized. She made systems look creative and effortless, and that stuck with me.

What really pushed this work forward for me, though, was learning how to manage my own ADHD. I had to figure out systems that worked for me — not just in theory, but in real life. Helping other people create structure gave me a way to build my own.

That’s how the AL Method came to be. It’s not rigid or prescriptive — it’s a thoughtful, personal approach to organizing that’s meant to support how people actually live.

If your home feels overwhelming or like it's constantly in flux, I get it. You’re not doing anything wrong — you probably just need a better system. That’s where we come in: without judgment, with fresh eyes, and with a focus on creating something that actually works for you.
