Lori Harrison

Lori is passionate about organizing workspaces, whether a home office, or just an area where you need to be more efficient and feel good about using.  She has a natural ability to size up a space and visualize how it could be.  She is adept at organizing documents, both paper and electronic.  Lori is also great about working within your parameters and not making you change what you don’t want to change.

Lori is the force behind Paper Tigress Professional Organizing, the service we provide because many of our clients do need organizational help as well as financial support.  Her many years spent as a C-suite executive assistant meant she had to have everything organized for her boss and the many events she coordinated.  She has managed professional and personal matters with the highest degree of discretion and confidentiality.  Lori earned her Professional Organizer Certificate from the IAP Career College and loves creating organization out of chaos!
