Victoria Price

Victoria Price

Victoria Price is the founder of Organize Design Create (ODC) and the creator behind @intentionallyvee_, where she teaches real, repeatable systems that help single parents run their households without burning out. A single mother of five, Victoria built her expertise the only way she knows how — out of necessity.

After becoming a solo parent in 2019, she developed the frameworks she now teaches: meal systems, routines, screen time boundaries, and the kind of household infrastructure that keeps a family of six running when there's one adult at the helm. Her content series, "Nobody's Coming, Save Yourself" and "Raising Them Kids," has resonated with hundreds of thousands of parents navigating the same reality.

With 15+ years of professional experience spanning nonprofit, real estate, insurance, and communications — and systems work with 200+ organizations since 2019 — Victoria brings operational precision to a space that's usually ruled by Pinterest aesthetics. She's proof that the systems you build to survive can become the systems you teach to change lives.
