Natalie is a small business attorney and legal resource for online entrepreneurs. Close to a decade ago she opened up her own law firm. She was scared shitless and felt so overwhelmed with all that was needed to start her own entrepreneurial journey. So she dug deep and did the research to find out what would not only keep her legally compliant but also legally protected!

With the boom of online entrepreneurs, she found herself consulting with more and more friends on what they legally needed for their businesses. She noticed that when they had the right legal documents in place, they emerged more confident and they truly stepped into the CEO versions of themselves. Then it dawned on her, there is truly a desire for other female entrepreneurs to figure out the what they legally need in their businesses.

Natalie considers the life force behind her business to be empowerment!⁠ She believes helping other female entrepreneurs legally protect themselves, will empower them to share more freely, post more freely, create more freely... change the world more freely! This Butterfly Effect is exactly what lights her up!

She wants to let you all know that legally protecting your businesses is easier and cheaper than you think and that when we have a strong legal base we emerge more confident to share our gifts with the world!

Adulting is no joke, there is a constant to-do list running in my head, being organized helps me feel a sense of control over the chaos. 

I would describe myself as someone who loves to cook, sing, hike and travel but I also love a good spreadsheet, a curated kitchen and a color blocked closet. These are more than hobbies to me, these activities are my identity. As a young adult I was drawn to Event Planning as a career because it satisfied so many of my personality traits, a good event planner can design and coordinate. I am an eclectic mash up of creative and artistic attributes mixed with copious amounts of organized and meticulous traits. As a professional Home Organizer I now use my skills honed as an event planner to help my clients conquer their spaces with systems AND style!

My love language is “personal connection,” it’s what motivates me to be productive and maintain organization in my own home. I view time spent organizing and deep cleaning as the tasks that beget the quality time. Time saved is time earned. By eliminating the clutter and excess from our homes we simplify our lives. Our homes should be a sanctuary not a burden. I created The Efficiency Project with the mission to help our clients and families like my own create efficient and stylish interiors for real life.
