ABOUT LINDA KOOPERSMITH – THE BEVERLY HILLS ORGANIZER®
Linda Koopersmith is the founder of The Beverly Hills Organizer® and one of the pioneers of the professional organizing industry. With more than 35 years of experience, she helped shape how people organize, design, and experience their spaces long before professional organizing became a mainstream career. A former co-host of a national television series and a published author, Linda is known for blending efficiency, psychology, and luxury design into systems that make everyday life simpler, calmer, and more beautiful.
Before professional organizing existed as a recognized career, Linda worked as a commercial real estate leasing agent, where she specialized in locating new office space for businesses. While helping companies search for larger offices, she noticed a pattern: many believed they needed to expand, when in reality their biggest problem was disorganization. Storage was inefficient, workflows were broken, and valuable space was being wasted. Linda realized that by organizing systems, layouts, and physical space, businesses could often downsize into smaller offices, save money, and increase productivity at the same time. That insight — that organization could replace expansion — became the foundation of what would later be known as professional organizing.
When Linda brought these efficiency-based principles into homes, she saw the same issues: clutter, wasted space, and daily frustration caused by poor storage and layout. Once inside the home, she began reconstructing closets — redesigning layouts, rebalancing hanging and folding space, and creating systems based on how people actually dress and live. Linda also created the in-home shopping experience by designing closets to feel like a personal boutique, where everything is visible, curated, and easy to choose from. In the 1990s, as wardrobes grew larger than standard closets could hold, Linda was among the first to transform extra bedrooms into walk-in closets, creating private dressing rooms that reflected modern fashion lifestyles.
In 1992, while organizing the drawers of her two-year-old daughter, Linda noticed that traditional stacked folding caused clothing to become messy the moment a child searched for something to wear. While experimenting with new ways to fold clothing, she discovered — almost by accident — that a T-shirt could stand upright on its own. By folding garments so they could stand vertically instead of lying in stacks, Linda created what she calls the Upright Folding Method — a system that gives you a Bird’s-Eye View of your wardrobe, allowing every item to be seen, selected, and returned without disturbing the rest.
Linda taught her methods for over 13 years, training both professional organizers and everyday people who wanted to learn how to become organized and take control of their space. Through her teaching, on-air appearances, and videos, she helped establish many of the modern organizing practices used in closets and homes around the world today.
Linda’s clients have included film, television, and music professionals, executives, designers, and private households who value discretion, beauty, and performance in their spaces. To support her Upright Folding Method, Linda offers a curated collection of organizing products, including flocked skirt and pant hangers, and drawer accessories. These products are selected to work seamlessly with her systems, helping create visual harmony, easy access, and long-term order inside the closet.
Linda works with homeowners, architects, real estate agents, and contractors on both full home remodels and brand-new builds. She designs and consults on the layout and organization of key spaces, including closets, glam rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, pantries, butler’s pantries, laundry rooms, home offices, bathrooms, linen closets, and garages. By working at the design stage, she ensures homes are built with correct storage, efficient flow, and intuitive organization from the very beginning.
Today, Linda continues to design closets, create organizing systems, and consult on luxury homes through The Beverly Hills Organizer®. Her philosophy is simple: If you bought it, love it, and want to keep it — we will find a beautiful, functional place for it.
