Having a love of Fashion, Design and Business, Debi knew she wanted a career in one or all of those areas. Unsure what capacity would best suit her, Debi decided to take “Fashion Merchandising Technology.” Once out in the work force she worked her way up (in the fashion industry) as assistant manager and manager of various retail stores. There came a point that Debi realized there was a lot more to running a successful business. It was then that Debi realized she needed to branch out and learn all she could about business. This became quite a learning curve but she finally settled into one particular area. Committed to a position as Office Manager for a small Steel firm for 11 years.
As the years passed Debi was getting restless and decided it was time to try her hand at something new, more challenging. An industry that seemed to be “all the buzz” would bring out that tucked away love for fashion and design once again. As always this became her new focus.
“The Professional Organizer”
Wanting to know everything about this newly found gem, Debi received her Professional Organizer’s certificate with “Productivity Squared” – Montreal, PQ.
In the same year Debi also received her Certified ReDesign & Staging Specialist (CRSS) certificate with “Sharp Redesign” – Victoria – B.C.
Jumping in with both feet, Debi formed “room2organize”. Her new company would offer Home Organizing, Interior Redesign and Home Staging.
Decorating was becoming an important aspect of her work and courses were always of interest. One course that meant a great deal to Debi was one being taught by one of her mentors – Kimberley Seldon of “Kimberley Seldon Design Group” – a two-day intensive learning seminar.
