My life's purpose is to use my knowledge and skills to reduce the burden placed on others so that they can move closer to success.

I've always had a passion for using creativity to bring ideas to reality.  Most often this happens using my sewing skills which were passed down through family generations.  I bring these ideas to customers through my Threaded by LoriLou (DBA) business.  These craft creations are showcased in an Instagram account linked at the bottom of this webpage.  It's a "hobby-turned-side-hustle" for creative practical gift items.   I love custom orders for products that a customer has desire for but can't seem to find in exactly the right form.  I can't usually make it cheaper than Amazon but I can definitely make it exactly how you want it!!

Another passion of mine combines creativity with my natural skill for being organized, mixed with slight neat and tidy OCD.  There is something so peaceful about a well organized and functional space.  Everything in its place and a place for everything!  Sometimes life takes over and our stuff piles up.  I created this business to help people gain a sense of peace and functionality in their lives.  By applying the right strategy and plan to your pantry, cabinets, closets and drawers, as well as, counter tops, bookshelves and desks you will be amazed at the added space and functionality you will gain.  It is pure joy to provide this type of service to my customers.  I offer this service with a touch of coaching to help you easily maintain what is achieved.  Check out my Pinterest account linked at the bottom of this webpage that offers inspiration in addition to some of my actual before and after pictures. (Pictures are also available through the gallery link on Services page.)   

Professionally, I have over 20 years experience as an engineer and project manager in the oil and gas industry where I worked on projects spanning from corporate program development, implementation and training, engineering design and construction, productivity initiatives and eTools as well as safety and environmental compliance.  With a degrees in chemical engineering, business administration and certification in project management, I offer valuable skills and expertise for a variety of topics.  My professional resume' is linked on the Services page of this website.
