Hello!
​
My name is Brittany Smith and I am the Founder, Certified Ultimate Professional Organizer™ and owner of Control the Chaos!
Clutter can be overwhelming. It causes stress, anxiety and even self-doubt about the possibility of ever taming the chaos. This is where Control the Chaos can help! My mission is to make organizing simple. How do I do that? By implementing personalized organizing strategies to provide every client with a rewarding and positive experience that leaves them de-stressed, and happy with their space and their most valued personal belongings.
When I was a young girl, I LOVED organizing my bedroom! I would often pull everything out of my drawers, then organize and re-organize until I was satisfied. It was my version of "The Purge", resulting in garbage bags of items to be donated or thrown away, and a space I loved with the items I treasured most.
This personal "quirk" of mine was NOT confined to my bedroom. I always kept an organized pencil case in elementary school, a tidy locker in high school, and a de-cluttered dorm room in University.
Still, I didn't realize how important being organized was until 2020. The sudden adjustment to the "work from home" lifestyle highlighted that organizing was more than just a "personal quirk", it was my way of life.
Creating chaos since 1988!
Before
After
Since university, my work in the world of Records and Project Management has come naturally to me. Re-arranging files, cleaning up data, and running corporate projects was exciting, and satiated my hunger to organize. But after 8 years, my enthusiasm waned with the realization that it wasn't meeting my desire to help people, and I needed to bring my experience to bear on a new challenge.
​
We all tried to find ways to cope with the start of the COVID pandemic. I took solace in de-cluttering my home, keeping my mind preoccupied & feeling accomplished. As me and my husband went through every item in our place, and found the right place for each one, I felt the weight of clutter lifted from our shoulders and a sense of pride every time we opened a cupboard. I love the work, I love how it helps people, and (as much as I hate to self-congratulate) I love that I'm good at it.
This is isn't a just job or a hobby for me, it's a vocation. An organized life and home brought me joy, and it's my purpose to help you find the same joy for yourself.
​
That's why I became a Certified Professional Organizer with Ultimate Academy, and started my own business. It is time to combine my passion with my unique skill set and help you with whatever I can.
​
Thus, Control the Chaos was born!
