Sofia Alvim is the Owner and Professional Organizer Extraordinaire of Sofia’s Organizing Solutions.

A former pack-rat and clutter-friendly person, Sofia first discovered her love and talent for organizing with a major spring cleaning of her own about 12 years ago.

“I was very disorganized and cluttered for most of my life, so I can definitely relate, share and empathize with my clients about how it feels to be disorganized and chaotic.”

Determined to change her ways and drastically de-clutter and reduce the volume of her belongings and various collections, she organized everything she owned from top to bottom. She became committed about keeping her space and her life organized and sane. Soon after, her family and friends began asking her to lend her organizing skills in their own homes and businesses.

Organizing also played a major role in her employment history: “Virtually every position I have held has required me to not only be extremely organized for myself, but also required me to organize all those I worked for.”

Prior to starting her company in January of 2007, Sofia worked for 11 years in the administrative support, creative arts, bookkeeping, oil & gas services, restaurant, and database management sectors. The valuable expertise derived from these business venues allowed her to gather a substantial cache of methods and strategies and a keen sense of what clients need in order to have functional, productive lives both personally and professionally. She employs these same methods and strategies in running her business.

Sofia’s Organizing Solutions is a proud member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) and NAPO Houston, where Sofia served on its Executive Board as Professional Development Director for 2008/2009.

Sofia currently resides in Houston, Texas. She lived in Portugal for seven years as a young person and while there discovered her love of travel and languages. She is fluent in Portuguese and enjoys singing, writing, painting, photography, self-improvement and spending quality time with her family, friends and her two dogs.
