Angie Hyche is a certified professional organizer (CPO®), author, speaker, and the owner of Shipshape Solutions in Kingsport, Tennessee. She is passionate about helping people unclutter and simplify their lives so they can focus on what's most important and spend time doing what they love. 

After working with hundreds of busy families, seniors, professionals, and nonprofits in upper East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia from 2016-2022, Angie decided to switch her focus to writing, speaking, and podcasting. Her years of experience working with clients give her unique insights into both the challenges of clutter and disorganization and the freedom and peace that order can bring. 

Angie and her husband Eric live in a small downtown loft. In 2019, they were thrilled to shed approximately 75% of their belongings in order to simplify their own lives.

Her first book, Unholy Mess: What the Bible Says about Clutter, was published on Amazon in December of 2020. In the book, she shares how her experiences working with clients and her own life experiences helped her see the far-reaching consequences of clutter. She learned that clutter goes much deeper and broader than just physical belongings. Angie openly shares her personal journey of clearing her schedule clutter (a packed calendar and to-do list) and attention clutter (smartphone addiction and a lack of focus). Readers will find both biblical inspiration and practical tools.  

Her monthly organizing column has been published in the Kingsport Times News and Johnson City Press since early 2017. She was featured on the local TV talk show Daytime Tri-Cities on a monthly basis for four years, presenting hands-on organizing demonstrations. She is a frequently sought-after presenter for community groups, church groups, her local chamber, and podcasts. Audiences leave inspired and equipped to solve their organizing challenges. 

Angie has a B.S. in Biology from Tennessee Technological University and an M.S. in Medical Science from Emory University. She has worked in the fields of medicine (as a physician assistant in pediatrics) and education (as a high school science teacher and an elementary teaching assistant) and sees parallels between her former careers and her organizing.

Angie has extensive education and training in the field of organizing and continues to stay updated on the latest industry trends. She is an active member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO) and Faithful Organizers (a nationwide group of Christian professional organizers). 

In her free time, you’ll find her on a hiking or bicycle trail with her husband, visiting her two adult daughters Emma and Lydia, reading, or performing in community theatre.
