Biografia e Jornada do Autor

Cassandra Aarssen is a Canadian organizing expert, author, and television host whose public career grew out of a private struggle with disorder. Born and raised in Chatham, Ontario, and later based in the Windsor-Essex area, she is publicly identified as a Mohawk College alumna. Before Clutterbug became a large lifestyle brand, she described herself as a “recovering super slob” who was running a home daycare, overwhelmed by toy clutter, and convinced for years that she was simply a naturally messy person. The turning point came when she concluded that the problem was not effort but fit: conventional organizing systems did not match the way she naturally thought and lived.
