VICE PRESIDENT
Susan Hale, CPO-CD®, ASP®
Ubeu®
(512) 369-3692

Susan created ubeu® (you-be-you) to respond to the complex, frantic world we live in. Too many in her life were overwhelmed by clutter and chaos. They needed someone to help them find balance — time and space in their lives for the things that are precious to them.
She saw that even though we may have similar responsibilities with kids, jobs, and bills, a “one-size-fits-all” approach just wouldn’t work. Minds deal with these things in unique ways. She realized her solutions had to utilize each client’s skills and thought processes. Susan’s approach is for her clients to be able to take advantage of all the potential of their lives.
Susan came to professional organizing from a career in special events and project development. After over six years in the industry she has developed a specialty of working with the chronically disorganized client in both commercial and residential settings. She holds Level I and II certificates in Chronic Disorganization and is currently enrolled in the Level III certification program through the National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization (NSGCD).
As a mom of two, she makes sure to take time in her own life to focus on her children. They keep her grounded, and give her the perspective she needs to help other working parents.
Some people were born to be organized. For Karin, it is just the nature of her personality. So in 2004, Organize This! was created to help people regain control over clutter and the subsequent chaos that is manifested in a busy world. Aside from the work she does for private clients, Karin has designed and implemented office systems within the dot.com industry and worked at IKEA Home furnishings (Organize Your Living) as an interior designer. Throughout her years working in the corporate world, Karin has acquired a knack for details and has learned the importance of having a well organized workspace and home environment. Because of her aptitude for organizing, she is able manage multiple projects and clients. This includes vast amounts of information retrieval; including paperwork, emails, managing appointments, meeting deadlines and multi-tasking demand of organized solutions. Now in its sixth year as a company, Organize This! continues to grow and service the demands of its clients proficiently… one piece of paper at a time! In an increasingly busy world making so many demands on our time, getting and staying organized is vital for personal and professional success. She wants to be able to help people reduce the stress in their lives by bringing organization into their space and offering her clients cost-effective and easy-to-follow solutions to their organization and storage challenges. Her goal is to not only organize her client's space but to teach them the skills they need to make their space more functional and efficient. Tanya is a member of NAPO, the Membership Director of the local chapter of NAPO-Austin, and is trained to teach the NAPO in the Schools program. Tanya can use her experience as a project manager, working mother, and professional organizer to help you to organize your clutter, teach you time management skills, and simplify your life to allow you more time for the things you want to do.
