Growing up, Leslie Jacobs’ bedroom was an organizing dream. Her David Cassidy photos were so even, they looked like wall paper; she graduated from University of Bridgeport with a degree in Journalism and received her Master’s degree from Wesleyan in 1989. After college, she became a photographer working for United Press International and photographed everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Paul Newman to Henry Kissinger. Jacobs added fundraising to her many skills and spent 10 years raising money for various non-profits.

In the spring of 1999, she walked into her Cousin Sheila’s kitchen and opened a cabinet. Plastic Tupperware came tumbling out and Jacobs innocently asked if she could organize this for her. Within two hours, the kitchen was organized and Sheila was explaining how Jacobs could turn her talent into a business.

Twenty-four hours later Les Is More, Jacobs’ professional organizing service was born. (Les is More, because her first name is Leslie!)

Jacobs gives speeches, writes an organizing column in the New Britain City Journal, among other publications, and helps people and business get organized. She also has been on Better Connecticut, Better TV and many radio shows and dreams of being on radio doing a call in show to help people get organized and live clutter-free.

She created Les Mess, the only organizing game for children ages 6-12 which was recently touted in Parenting Magazine and spends many hours a week with clients doing her phone organizing which is like having a personal organizer on speed dial, said a Les Is More client. Jacobs sells her Les Mess games and phone organizing on her website. www.lesmess.com
