Meet Ashley Bailey | Professional Organizer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Ashley Bailey and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ashley, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Neat Nest Miami has been a passion project in the making for many years now. Taking the time to visualize why this business mattered to me, preparing a plan and then executing it has given me such a feeling of accomplishment. Years prior to the birth of Neat Nest Miami, I had been preparing for what was about to be the most challenging and rewarding adventure yet…entrepreneurship! From a very young age being tidy and organized has always been the norm. I was the kid who you never had to tell twice to clean up their room and hated messes. Throughout college I worked in various retail positions with a focus in retail merchandising and management. By the time I finished my undergraduate degree I had worked in retail spaces like Express, Henri Bendel, BCBGMaxazria, & Tiffany & Co. to name a few. Let’s just say I’ve folded my fair share of graphic tee tables and merchandised lots of handbags and jewelry! All of this experience & preperation has given me a strong foundation to start Neat Nest Miami. Fast forward to 2020, during the height of the pandemic I knew it was time to start developing my business plan after much deliberation and encouragement from family and friends. I started this business to help others bring order and structure into their homes because I know how beneficial and life changing the results can be on so many levels; physically, mentally and emotionally.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
When friends are in town showing them a great time is a must! A Miami bucketlist trip includes some of the classics like a beach day in the beautiful Bal Harbour area, Miami team sporting event (Let’s go Heat), a night out at the movies at the Rooftop Cinema, and can’t forget to visit the iconic Miami Design District for great food and shopping.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My family and friends have been the ultimate support system during this entire process. From all the encouraging conversations, text messages, to sharing ideas, letting me practice/experiment in their homes, and even referrals. I am forever grateful for all the support they provide and continue to show me each and everyday. I am also so thankful that I found NAPO (National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals) early on in my business career. This organization really helped me to navigate and develop a proper framework for my business. In addition, I have met so many other professional organizers and have been able to develop a network that have been an amazing resource and not to mention such kind and amazing like-minded people.
