CALM&TIDY
...a professional organizing service
by Jesse Ashton
Hello
...I'm Jesse Ashton
My passion for creating an organized and tidy space goes back to childhood, when I used to routinely empty out my closet drawers, assess the goods, and neatly return each item. I would sit back and admire my finished work, with a euphoric sense of accomplishment.
It seems that even before I understood the significance of living an organized life, I was instinctually drawn to the wonderfully calm, peaceful sensation that accompanies living in a tidy space. ​
​
Let me help you create a more functional, clutter-free environment, where you can find that sense of calm and really thrive!

My Story
A very wise friend once told me that every job or career has 2 functions. The first is the obvious one - a restaurant server provides food, a construction worker creates a structure. But the second, the more underlying function, often winds up being the more significant as a whole. My functions as a professional organizer are clear: 1. Help people find a place for their belongings...but maybe more importantly: 2. Help people find peace in their life.
​This has become my true passion.
​
I've had the privilege to train under certified master level KonMari consultant, Meredith Ryness of TidyLA. First under her tutelage and then on her team of organizers, I've worked in all sorts of environments including everything from closets and kitchens to beauty showrooms and corporate offices.
My Process
Every tidying project I take on is unique, but we always approach things in a similar way...and ALWAYS aim to make it fun!
VISUALIZE
The first step is to imagine your ideal space.... but more importantly your ideal lifestyle. As we progress, we'll continue to focus back to this goal, to encourage us to go in the right direction as we navigate through the process.
MINIMIZE
Next, we'll go through your possessions one by one, assessing their usefulness and necessity for your life. I like to think of this as an opportunity to "shop your belongings" to find your favorites. As we progress, choices become easier and easier to make, as you hone your decision-making skills and build confidence.
ORGANIZE
Once we've paired down, we'll reassess your space, looking for the best ways to store your belongings functionally and attractively. When we're finished, you'll be able to find things with ease, and maintain your new newly organized space with confidence.
