About

Kelly McMenamin is an author, organizing coach, speaker, and co-founder of PixiesDidIt!, a company dedicated to helping people organize according to personality. The Pixie motto is that while life isn’t always easy, organizing it should be. Their book is Organize Your Way: Simple Strategies for Every Personality (Sterling Publishing). After 10+ years of field research, PixiesDidIt! discovered that how you organize is hardwired in your brain. Organization isn’t about making it perfect. It's about finding stuff when you need it. The trick to getting and staying organized is building systems that work with your shoes-off self. Prior to PixiesDidIt!, Kelly worked as a hedge fund analyst and at the Federal Reserve Bank of NY. She holds a B.A. from Barnard College and an M.B.A from the Tuck School at Dartmouth.
