Bio

Lorie Marrero is an organizing expert, spokesperson, entrepreneur, and best-selling author. Since 2000, she has organized everything from normal households to chemistry labs. She is trusted by celebrity clients in the entertainment, sports and political arenas and is a pacesetter in the professional organizing industry.

 

Lorie is one of the inaugural CPO® (Certified Professional Organizer®) designees of the Board of Certification for Professional Organizers and is a long time member of the National Association of Professional Organizers. In 2006, she launched The Clutter Diet®, an innovative online member community that helps people “put their homes on a diet.” The program has helped thousands of members in eighteen countries around the world, making organizing expertise accessible and affordable to anyone, anywhere. Based on the idea of Weight Watchers, the site offers multimedia tutorials and easy weekly project “menu” plans as well as immediate access to a team of professional organizers for personal advice and coaching. Lorie is also the author of the best-selling book, The Clutter Diet: The Skinny on Organizing Your Home and Taking Control of Your Life, as well as The Clutter Diet blog, which remains in the top ten bestselling blog subscriptions for the Amazon kindle for a full year.

 

Lorie has been a spokesperson for Goodwill® since June 2010, when she served as the ambassador for the Donate Movement, launching it for the first time to the public and the media. Lorie has appeared on more than 20 national and syndicated radio shows about the Donate Movement. Lorie also starred in the Donate Movement PSA “Just as there are some things you recycle, there are things you donate,” which garnered a Telly Award – the highest honor in film and video production. Lorie currently blogs on a monthly basis for the Goodwill.org public website and writes for Goodwill’s e-newsletter. Lorie will speak at Goodwill’s Delegate Assembly and Summer Conference. She also incorporates visits to Goodwill agencies with her travels. In her most recent blog, Lorie captured the mission of Goodwill best when she said: “Goodwill is more than stores, they’re stories.”

 

Lorie lives in Austin, TX with her husband of more than 20 years and her two teenage boys. She can be found on the web at www.clutterdiet.com.
