Laura Ray, Owner
Some people are just born organized. That’s easy to believe with Professional Organizer Laura Ray who admits to buying her first filing cabinet at a garage sale in the sixth grade!
Laura’s giftedness includes the ability to help you incorporate your own personal style and goals into your organizing systems. Past clients will tell you, Laura’s expertise can help you find anything in your home or office in 15 seconds or less.
“It’s not about perfection or getting rid of everything, it’s about finding ‘homes’ for what you love and use, and creating systems you can maintain,” explains Laura, who began helping busy people organize their homes and offices in 2003. With this customer-focused philosophy, she founded Laura Ray Organizing, LLC, in 2006, and has enjoyed a thriving business ever since.
As a past President of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO) – Georgia Chapter, Laura is a sought-after subject matter expert. She has been featured on television and radio shows, including several segments on Fox 5’s Good Day Atlanta. She has been interviewed on 11 Alive’s TrustDale TV with consumer investigative reporter Dale Cardwell, and also WSB News Radio. In addition, Laura has been in two videos for “The Bagster,” a de-cluttering product sold in home improvement stores, and was quoted in two books including, How to Cheat at Organizing, by Jeff Bredenberg. Many more interviews are on her YouTube channel and listed below.
She is a graduate of Berry College and brings more than 16 years professional experience from her previous career in public relations with the American Red Cross and BellSouth where she organized campaigns, events and volunteers, served as a spokesperson, and advised more than 100 executives.
Laura and her husband, Chris, live in Metro Atlanta and have one son. They attend Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta, Georgia. In addition to work and family life, they support Tres Dias of North Georgia Christian ministry, a children’s ministry in Uganda, and help crowdfund the Christian TV show “The Chosen.” If a client is getting rid of lots of children’s items and gives permission, Laura makes time for a special trip to donate to the Foster Care Support Foundation, which provides free clothes and toys to foster care children in Georgia.
Laura Ray Organizing, LLC, is a licensed and insured business.
