If you're like me, you like to have fun while completing tasks to make them more enjoyable. For those who loathe the organizing process, stay tuned! In this episode, Naeemah chats with Nicole Gabai, Author and Illustrator of The Art of Organizing: An Artful Guide to an Organized Life, and she shares her artful approach to organization and how the organizing process can be colorful and fun.

Nicole Gabai is a Certified Virtual Organizing Professional™ with over two decades of hands-on organizing experience. Using her art and design background, she helps people bridge the gap between beautiful and functional to maximize organizing capacity. 

Growing up in a very disorganized home, she knows first-hand the challenges, frustrations, and impact these have on our lives. At the age of seven, she began creating organized spaces while attending a Montessori school in Paris, France. Later in life, organizing became her passion!  

Working in the fast-paced world of TV production, she used her skills to create organizational systems. Later, when she became an actress and a model, she quickly realized that creating sustainable organizing systems was the key to success. 

Being able to understand how freeing it is when your surroundings are organized, she has dedicated her life’s work to creatively helping people gain the skills they need to have a well-organized workplace and home. 

She is among fewer than 100 people worldwide to become a Certified Virtual  Organizing Professional™. 

She founded B. Organized in 1999 and is a Golden Circle member of NAPO (National  Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals), as well as past historian of the South Florida chapter. She is the author of the bestseller The Art of Organizing: An Artful  Guide to an Organized Life. This artful, engaging, and informative book reflects her extensive knowledge and gives readers valuable tips and techniques to bring a sense of order and balance into their lives. Her unique approach sets her apart from other organizing professionals, and her method was dubbed "ingenious" by The Kitchn. 

Prior to founding B. Organized, Nicole served in various jobs in TV production at renowned networks like MTV, Nickelodeon, the Orlando Film Commission, and MacGuffin Films in New York City. She received a BFA in Textile Design from the  Fashion Institute of Technology, attended Parsons School of Design, and worked as a textile designer in New York City for several years. 

Nicole has been featured in prestigious media outlets such as TODAY.com, Martha  Stewart, Southern Living, AARP, Real Simple, US News & World Report, Forbes,  Boston 25 News, and more.
