About

My name is Ashley Bailey. I am the creator and founder of Neat Nest Miami. Organization, art, & design have always been an interest of mine. As a former art student and with over 15 years of retail merchandising and retail management experience, these past roles have sharpened my skill sets and helped me prepare to take on a new journey of being a small business owner. In 2020 when the world was on pause during the height of the pandemic, I was busy putting all my ideas together to start the foundation of Neat Nest Miami. It was such a fun process that allowed me to research, grow, network and equip myself to start helping others while doing what I love.

Organizing spaces brings me a sense of clarity, comfort and outlet for expression which is why I decided to turn an innate passion into a small business. If I can help change someone’s life by equipping them with the tools to live a clutter-free and organized lifestyle, I’m all in!

I define success as following your dreams! As cliché as it may sound, each day when you wake up and choose to do what makes you happy and brings you peace you are making those dreams your reality. Writing your own success into existence takes patience, dedication and grit. Although the journey may take you on a rollercoaster of highs and lows, one day you will look back and be so grateful you started!

Neat Nest Miami has been a passion project in the making for many years now, only I had been preparing for my own business long before I knew I’d turn this natural gift into my very own small business. 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 & preparation 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.

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 every day. 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 has been an amazing resource and not to mention such kind and like-minded professionals.
