Hazel Thornton is passionate about helping her clients find the freedom that comes from getting organized!

She is the only Professional Organizer in town who has a background in both Engineering and Fine Arts.

Her unique blend of qualifications includes training from NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers), certification in Home Staging and Interior Redesign from IRIS (Interior Redesign Industry Specialists), degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Drafting and Fine Arts, and more than 20 years experience in the corporate world.

When she got “surplussed” from her career as a Technology Planner at a large telecommunications company in Los Angeles, Hazel immediately put her back-up plan into action, creating her business, Organized For Life.

Before moving to Albuquerque in 2005, she contacted the local members of NAPO, and together they formed PONM, the Professional Organizers of New Mexico.  Yes...she organized the organizers!

Hazel knows that there is no single system that works for everyone.  Whether you are organizing stuff, space, or time, her job is to help you find the organizing system...or furniture arrangement...or ideal schedule...that will work best for YOU!

Hazel's clients appreciate her straight-forward, non-judgmental approach to creating balance and beauty in their lives, as represented by her tag line: “Less Clutter. More Life.”

About the Egret Logo:

In the spring of 2007 I attended the NAPO conference in Minneapolis.  Can you imagine 800 Professional Organizers in one room?!  Need I add that the event was very organized?

Afterwards, while touring the backroads of Minnesota in my rental car, I observed an egret taking flight.  I thought, That's it! The feeling of getting organized! Of freedom.  Of being able to relax, appreciate life, enjoy one's space, and reach one's goals.
 
Thus I was inspired to create the logo shown above.  My business cards are now less corporate looking and more personal.  I hope you are inspired too!
