I was lucky to learn how to organize at a young age and I had the best teacher: my mom. As a single parent, she had to keep a lot of balls in the air! She taught me how to set schedules, build routines, and perform annual clean-outs. Along the way, I learned the value of what I had and of letting go of things that no longer served me. 

​

The skills my mom taught me helped enormously during my busy college days. I developed my own calendar system to track my work schedule and the many classes, projects, assignments, and test dates so that nothing would be forgotten or turned in late. I earned my BS in Business Administration from San Francisco State University.

 

I cut my business teeth as a marketing officer in the food and banking industries, then spent the better part of my career as an Executive Assistant in real estate and financial services. My time in the corporate environment working with C-Suite executives and their teams helped me develop expertise in time and calendar management, budget development, records management and retention, and project management. I’m skilled at managing offices and creating solutions for efficient work flow.

In 2021, I discovered Professional Organizing and knew that was where I belonged. I became a member of NAPO (National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals). Living in Los Angeles at that time, I became a member of NAPO-Los Angeles, served on the NAPO-Los Angeles Board of Directors, and ran the NAPO-Los Angeles South Bay Neighborhood meetings. In late 2024, I moved to Texas where I established Deborah Madrid Professional Organizing Services in San Angelo.

​

In February 2026, I became a Certified Professional Organizer (CPO®) which is an accreditation awarded by the Board of Certified Professional Organizers to professional organizers who have spent 1,000+ hours working with clients, educated themselves on a variety of organizing subjects, and have passed the rigorous CPO® exam.  CPO®s are required to re-certify every three years.  When you hire a CPO®, you will work with a dedicated, confident, educated organizer who will use all of their skills to help you build systems that work for you.

 

I’ve worked with people of all walks of life serving as a sounding board for some and a safety net for others. As a Certified Professional Organizer, I can help you organize your space, your paper and your time resulting in your ability to spend more time doing what you love and saving you money along the way.
