Martha Blumenthal, The Organized Sort, LLC

(703) 303-5844  |  vicepresident@dcorganizers.org

I spent most of my career as a graphic designer in NYC, LA, and DC. While working for an estate sale company, I became aware of Professional Organizing as a career, although, I have been doing it all my life! I also have experience working as an Administrative Assistant and a Kitchen Assistant in the teaching kitchen at Sur La Table.

I am excited to be a part of the NAPO-WDC Board. As a member of NAPO since December 2016, I have discovered a network of talented and generous like-minded people. I am looking forward to serving the Local Chapter.

Amy O'Donnell, Magic Maker Solutions

(301) 291-5767  |  secretary@dcorganizers.org

I’ve been passionate about taking care of people, things, and spaces since I was a kid. I loved playing with office products, maintained inventory for my family’s small business, and planned events—even with a heavy course load and wide range of extra-curricular activities. I enjoyed chores, cleaning out friends’ closets, and helping family members move. I always found interest in tasks that required a ton of detail, putting puzzles together, and physical labor.

I was a local television news producer during Y2K, the Beltway sniper shootings, and 9-11. At the same time, I worked in sales, operations, inventory control, and facilities management for stores including Abercrombie & Fitch, Papyrus, and Crate & Barrel.

I honed some unique time management, productivity, and leadership skills in those careers that translate so seamlessly into home/office organization and relocation services. After helping friends, strangers, and realtors in the DC area with some pretty complex projects (and getting some amazing feedback from them), I decided to become my own boss and launched Magic Maker Solutions in 2014. 

I’m honored to be a part of the Board and excited to work with my colleagues in the chapter and across the country.

I am the owner of Reclaim Interiors, specializing in helping families take back control of their home and add functional beauty. In a past life, I was a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), and I love being able to use that experience to assist the NAPO-WDC board as treasurer. As I start my second term in that role, I am excited to support our chapter in the year ahead. It's going to be a great one!

My skills in organizing, team building, project managing and creative problem-solving led me to the founding of “Keep Your Stuff Simple, LLC”  (KYSS) in 2015. I love helping folks live simply in the spaces and places they have, or move to.

I joined NAPO in 2016 to be a part of a team of like minded professionals, meet new friends and to learn and grow as a professional organizer. This is my first year as a Member of the Board and I'm looking forward to an exciting year of contributing and learning, and growing chapter membership!
