ABOUT
Hi, I’m Tracey Shadley.
Before starting Organize A-Z, I had the privilege of working with California Closets as both a Closet Designer and a Closet Design Trainer for 20+ years. During that time, I designed hundreds of custom storage solutions, helped homeowners transform their spaces, and trained new designers in the proven methods that made California Closets an industry leader.
Today, I’m passionate about sharing those same principles with Professional Organizers and other Professionals who want to confidently add closet design to their business. If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to offer custom closets, but I don’t know where to start,” you’re exactly who I created Organize A to Z for. The training I provide isn’t based on theory or things I’ve read in a book. It’s built on the real-world design process, client communication, sales techniques, and problem-solving skills I learned—and later taught.
My goal is simple: to help Professional Organizers develop the confidence and skills to offer custom closet design as a natural extension of the services they already provide. You’ll learn how to think like a designer, ask the right questions, create functional layouts, avoid common mistakes, and present solutions that clients are excited to invest in.
Everything I teach comes from actual experience designing thousands of closets and training others to do the same.
Whether you’re taking one of my courses, using my design resources, or working with me one-on-one, my goal is to shorten your learning curve and give you practical skills you can use immediately. I believe Professional Organizers are uniquely positioned to become exceptional closet designers. You already understand how people live, what creates clutter, and what makes a space functional. Closet design simply gives you another way to solve those problems—and another way to grow your business.
I’m excited to help you build that next chapter.

I created Organize A to Z to bridge that gap.

During that time, I designed thousands of custom closets, solved real-life design challenges, and trained new designers using the proven methods that helped make California Closets an industry leader.
Today, I’m passionate about helping people learn closet design. Whether you’re a Professional Organizer, an aspiring designer, or simply eager to develop a new skill, my goal is to give you the knowledge and confidence to succeed.
Everything I teach is practical, field-tested, and based on what I’ve learned through years of designing, selling, and teaching closet design—not just theory.
My goal is simple: to help you shorten the learning curve, avoid costly mistakes, and gain the confidence to offer a valuable new service to your clients
