About Kate @ Sorted State
Hi, I’m Kate.
I spent 18 years in life sciences operations, running processes, eliminating waste, and building systems that turned chaos into calm at places like Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Thermo Fisher Scientific. I’ve been trained in LEAN, Six Sigma, 5S, and change management. I can spot a bottleneck from across a room (or across the Zoom… teeheehee).
I also have a preschooler who owns 14 “style dresses”, a toddler that believes you can and should put shoes in the pots drawer, a pantry that contains at least three open bags of rice at any given moment, and an office desk that has defeated every organizational system I’ve ever designed for it.
This is the tension I write about.
