CORI ZAZWORSKY
Founder, Minnesota Neat™
Hi, I’m Cori! I am the founder and chief organizer of Minnesota Neat™ based in the Twin Cities. I’m a member of the National Association of Productivity & Professional Organizers™ (NAPO®), a leader in the organizing and productivity industry providing specialized and ongoing education to professionals in this field.
MY STORY: I live in a city neighborhood in a house built in the 1920’s. Like many older, urban homes, storage space is limited so I’ve learned to use small spaces efficiently. I’ve loved transforming kitchens, closets, playrooms, etc. into functional, organized spaces. After years of organizing for family and friends and seeing how my work simplified their lives and mine, I decided to follow my passion for organizing. I created Minnesota Neat™ to help others become more organized so they have time to do more of what they love.
Life can get hectic and we all have our own unique circumstances that create stress and chaos. I know first-hand, I spent over two decades in the consumer packaged goods industry. I held executive roles in fast-paced, entrepreneurial companies leading business and marketing strategies while starting a family. I know what it is like to be a busy working mom in a dual career household. I’ve also enjoyed some stints at home. When I was a stay-at-home mom, I thought I would have an abundance of time, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. No matter what the circumstance, life is busy and the balancing act is tough! Every minute is accounted for running from here to there, juggling homework and extracurricular activities, preparing for board meetings, birthday parties, etc. With all the hustle and bustle, what matters most is having a happy, healthy and loving family, and spending as much time with them as possible. This is why I’m so passionate about organization. An organized space allows you to find things quickly and keeps things running smooth. I am a true believer that being organized is a way of living and reduces stress. Of course, things aren’t perfect and there is always a little slippage, but having a space that functions for your lifestyle makes the juggling act a ton easier. It brings me great joy that I can help others simplify their lives through organization to find more time for what matters most to them. I would love to help you too!
