Vicki Norris is a nationally-recognized organizing and life management expert, author, entrepreneur, product designer, speaker and television personality who inspires people to live out their priorities, reclaim their lives, and get organized for good. Founder and president of Vicki Norris’ Restoring Order, an organizing services and products company, Norris leads others to enrich their quality of life by creating sustainable change in personal organizational habits.
A visionary, Norris created a rare business model in the professional organizing industry, employing and training professional organizers in the Restoring Order philosophy and methods. Instead of simply showing clients how to organize their spaces, Norris and her staff help them discover the causes of disorder that create clutter in the first place. Clients learn to change their thinking and behavior to embrace organization not as an activity or set of quick tips but as a lifestyle of self-management.
In her premiere book, Reclaim Your Life,™ Norris shares engaging and humorous stories from the front lines of her work as a professional organizer. She demonstrates how disorganization degrades quality of life as she inspires readers to embrace the benefits of order. Readers learn practical and distinctive tactics that enable them to dig into their organizing projects and invest in their own long-term success.
In her latest book, Restoring Order® to Your Home, Norris shows readers how to tackle every space in the home through a room-by-room, step-by-step guide. Using real-life examples, she demonstrates how to creatively customize the home to fit personal needs. In Norris’ books, readers don’t find clichéd organizing tips; they gain liberation and motivation for better life management.
Versed in many forms of broadcast media, Norris is a regularly featured expert on HGTV’s Mission: Organization. In addition to presenting twice-monthly organizing segments on AM Northwest, the morning talk show on ABC’s affiliate in Portland, Oregon, Norris also has a weekly radio spot offering listeners organizing advice on the Northwest’s 1190AM. She frequently contributes to national lifestyle publications, such as Good Housekeeping’s Quick & Simple magazine, Better Homes & Gardens, and Real Simple magazine. Norris’ unique brand of organization and life management has attracted such notable companies as Glad and MasterCard, who have enlisted Norris as their spokesperson.
Vicki Norris provides presentations, interviews, articles, makeovers, workshops, and contests relating to organizing office and personal spaces to suit both broadcast and print audiences.
In 2004, Norris created her own line of stylish, functional organizing products under the Restoring Order brand. Norris personally designed and perfected the innovative collection after years of searching for attractive and durable products to help her clients conquer their clutter.
A keynote speaker, Norris is a member of the National Speakers Association. She inspires audiences with humor and storytelling to reclaim their space, priorities, and potential. From CEOs to soccer moms, Vicki helps audiences take back their time and productivity and tackle disorganization for good.
Transforming lives is a personal commitment to Norris as she serves on the Board of Trustees of the Portland Rescue Mission. Vicki lives in Sherwood, Oregon with her husband Trevor and son Nash. |
