I have spent my entire life organizing. As a child, I found it fun to arrange Barbie’s clothes by season and file my mother’s recipes. Before I knew it, friends and family saw my natural ability and asked for help with their playrooms, closets and kitchen cabinets. Friends who were grounded for their messy rooms were still allowed to invite me over – within a few hours, we would have cleaned out their closet or un-cluttered their playhouse. It didn’t take me long to realize that other people saw organizing as a formidable task…and that I found joy in helping them.

I earned my business degree from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, then spent several years in Austin working in the busy world of luxury hotels at some of the best locations in the city including the Driskill Hotel and W Austin. I started Lauren Weldon Organized Interiors in Temple, Texas to hone my organizing skills and help clients create lovely, inviting homes. I brought my organizing business to Kansas City in 2017 and began working with The Container Store as one of their Contained Home Organizers. In 2020, my husband (an Army JAG officer) and I relocated to Charlottesville, VA for a year and I transformed my business into Manifesto Home + Office to reflect a more holistic approach to organizing. After two amazing years living in Vicenza, Italy and traveling all over Europe, my family relocated to Oahu, Hawaii in 2023.

As a military spouse, I am especially passionate about helping our hard-working military families with the intensely daunting task of moving around the world every few years. My own son lived in four houses in four time zones on three continents before he even turned four! I have worked with and volunteered with several respected groups to bring organizing tips and tricks to military families worldwide and have coached dozens and dozens of military families in PCS move management over the years. I am always happy to offer a discount on organizing services to military families and groups.

I have been a member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO) since 2012. I am a 10 Year NAPO Golden Circle Organizer. I am proud to volunteer with NAPO as the Ambassador for Texas, Hawaii, Alaska, and APO territories. In November 2019, I became a Certified Professional Organizer® (CPO®) through the Board of Certification for Professional Organizers (BCPO). In order to even sit for the rigorous two hour exam (which I did eight months pregnant!), I had to have 1,500 hours of paid client work in the three years prior to my certification.
