About Us
Meet Michelle Burden
A little about me — I’ve spent the past 30 years in and out of the music industry, including seven years at Atlantic Records in New York, where I worked my way up to become Vice President of Rhythm Promotions. I later transitioned into the role of Vice President of Touring & Artist Development, finishing my time there in January 2025.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with some of the most talented artists in the world and spent time at major labels like Warner Bros, Columbia, and Def Jam.
In between, I was also an entrepreneur, owning and operating a women’s boutique in the northern suburbs of Chicago. That experience ignited my passion for curating beautiful spaces, helping clients find confidence in their surroundings, and understanding how organization can enhance daily life. Now, I’m blending that passion with my love for structure and creativity to bring Harmony & Order into homes and businesses.
In music, harmony is the blending of different notes to create a pleasing sound, while order is the structure that holds everything together-ensuring rhythm, balance, and flow. Harmony & Order applies that same concept to organization: bringing together different elements-clothing, documents, home essentials-in a way that feels seamless, natural, and visually appealing, while establishing a functional structure that allows life to move more smoothly.
Just like a great song needs both harmony and order to be impactful, a well-organized space needs creativity and structure to function beautifully.
I’m excited for this new chapter, to meet new people, and to bring Harmony & Order into their lives.
Why “Harmony & Order”?
The name is inspired by Michelle’s deep love of music. In music, harmony is the beautiful blending of different notes, and order is the structure that keeps everything moving in rhythm. At Harmony & Order, we bring that same concept into your space—blending style and structure to create calm, functional environments tailored to your life.
Testimonials
I recently had the pleasure of working with Harmony & Order for their closet organization services for my Master Bedroom and I am beyond impressed! From the initial consultation to the final reveal, the entire process was seamless, efficient, and incredibly rewarding.
Working with Michelle and her team was a true pleasure. She was attentive, friendly and professional from the start. They took the time to tour my space, understand my needs, ask insightful questions, and offered many practical solutions I hadn't considered. I appreciated how she not only focused on making my closets look aesthetically pleasing but also optimized it for functionality, making sure I could easily access everything I need without the chaos of clutter.
The transformation was amazing. The new set-up maximizes the space, and includes thoughtful touches like accessory organizers, shoe racks, and even custom labels, which helped categorize everything perfectly. Now, every item has its own place, and I can honestly say my mornings have been so much less stressful. It’s not just about the visual appeal; it’s the sense of calm and order it brings to my day-to-day life.
What stood out the most was their attention to detail and commitment to exceeding expectations. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was organized in a way that makes sense for my lifestyle. I impressed by their expertise in space planning, and the quality of their work is second to none.
I highly recommend Harmony & Order to anyone who feels overwhelmed by clutter or simply wants to make the most out of their closet space. Truly a game-changer!

We used Harmony & Order for our second home, and the results were amazing. Every closet and drawer is now neatly organized, and everything is easy to find.
Before, we just threw things into bins and drawers — now, there’s real order and purpose in every space. It feels great to walk in and see how everything just works.
Highly recommend!
