Yvette was born in Virginia but was raised in El Paso, Texas. After high school, she lived and worked in Paris, France. As the Housing Coordinator at the U.S. Embassy, she was instrumental in locating off-base housing for newly stationed military families. Her international travels have helped her develop the ability to work successfully with all types of individuals. Her professionalism and strong worth ethic create a solid foundation for working with clients ranging from local celebrities to politicians, artists, authors, physicians, small business owners, corporate executives, teachers, and busy, busy homemakers.

Yvette has a true “gift” for organization. She thrives on teaching her clients how to streamline their lives and possessions by helping them understand the underlying, core issues. Her goal is to create spaces which are streamlined, less cluttered and more efficient. She loves transforming your chaos into tranquilitySM.

Her vast experience from the legal and corporate arenas has helped her do just that. After earning her Bachelor's Degree from St. Edward's University in Austin, she honed her skills even further by working as a Paralegal for over a decade where she was responsible for handling all aspects of attorneys' caseloads – from communicating with clients to developing, organizing, and managing filing systems for the firms. In 1995, she decided to join the marketing team at Dell. Her acute organizing skills were highly applauded as she streamlined the process for developing and managing corporate events for the Workstation and Optiplex lines of business.

After being laid off from Dell, she decided to recreate herself and follow her passion for organization. She started her own business, Embrace Your Space, in 2001, before joining the LivingOrder team in 2005. She became the owner of LivingOrder® Austin in 2008. She is a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) and was Founding President of the local chapter of NAPO (NAPO-Austin, Inc.) which was established in January 2007 under her leadership. She is also a member of the trailblazing team providing online organizing help at The Clutter Diet®.
