Meet the Organizer

Alana Martin became an expert in organizing office and home environments by doing just that—organizing. She was professionally trained by Paauwerfully Organized and has continued her education through workshops, training and professional organization memberships.

Over the past 15 years, she has served as an assistant to a CEO, office manager, trainer and image consultant for various employers in Detroit and Ann Arbor, Michigan. She has also owned and operated two successful businesses. In her work with technology, health care, childcare and training firms she invented efficient paper and electronic filing systems, supervised moving companies, rearranged furniture and equipment to optimize traffic flow, taught executives how to manage their time more effectively, and relocated entire businesses and households.

Combining her expertise with a huge market need, Alana opened Winged Pig Organizing Solutions in 2003. In response to those who believe they’ll “get organized when pigs fly,” she brings order to the chaos. Her company specializes in teaching owners how to organize their businesses, but she also works with employees at any level and with homeowners and home-based businesses. She is also available as a speaker on organizing tips to businesses, professional meetings and community groups.
