ABOUT ME
Hello, I’m Marie-Hélène Riverain, you can call me Marie.
Born in sunny Saint-Tropez in the South of France and raised in the French Alps, I came to Los Angeles in 2000 to work in the movie industry after graduating from Neoma Business School in Rouen, Normandie.
After working for top executives at Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros, I was accepted in the Director’s Guild of America’s training program to become an Assistant Director. After graduating and becoming a member of the DGA, I worked on numerous movies and television sets, working my way to 1st AD. For those unfamiliar with this title, it consists of organizing a movie production in a practical way: how long will it take to shoot, when and where should we start, and what do we need to make it happen…and finally, make it happen and keep the days on track!
Then, I brought two lovely children to the world. That put an end to my never ending days on set. That also brought a lot of confusion and (happy) chaos in my life!
After a few years of trying to understand what had just happened and constantly figuring out solutions to keep our life in order among the mass chaos the munchkins were creating, I came up with solid systems to keep up with chaos and honed my already strong organizational skills. And since my favorite things to do are tidying, sorting and organizing, I decided to make a living out of it and become a professional organizer, to counter my little professional mess-makers.
Helping people bring order to their life through tidying has been very rewarding. It is always a joy to read the satisfaction on clients who are regaining sanity after a thorough tidying session!
If you feel clutter is holding you up, please be sure to give me a call, I’ll always be happy to help you find a solution that is right for you.
With Much Love, and Order,
