ABOUT NEAT JAX
Note from our Founder:
I started NEAT Jax in September of 2016 after 15+ years in retail. Organizing my own life has always come naturally, so I figured why not help others tidy up their own?
A friend and mentor of mine casually mentioned that there was a demand for professional organizers and that I could do what I loved while making a living... so I started an Instagram right away and haven't looked back since!
I have always been tidy and organized and when opportunity struck, I felt ready to be my own boss! Now, I make my way into strangers' houses and help them throw their stuff away, establish lasting systems for families to run more efficiently, and are a beacon of clarity for people in their messy worlds.
​
Why NEAT Jax? NEAT Jax is an extra set of hands for anyone who needs help getting a project started and finished! We are a judgment-free zone and a passionate bunch ready to help you live your best life. Our job is to leave your space better than we found it and for you to feel a little less stressed at the end of the day! ​
Keep up with us on social media @NEATJAX
I thrive on being helpful and genuinely feel that "...helping others is the feeling of being human."
​
Best,

A little bit about Melanie: She's a military brat born to a Marine mom and learned early about keeping things tidy and the art of understanding that “everything has a place”. Crass is also a licensed REALTOR and is excellent at helping people get their homes ready to list :)
Melanie is an expert mover/packer/unpacker because FUN FACT, she went to 18 different schools! So she knows how to get it done!

Note from Melanie: "I'm a tried and true Virgo, and my personal motto is “do it right, not twice”. Also, be nice 💜 "
OLIVIA EDWARDS
Professional Organizer
“How lucky am I that I get to be part of this amazing team doing what I love?!"
​
Olivia Edwards graduated with a degree in Art history, with a minor in photography. She loves details and maintainable organizing! It brings her so much joy to see the weight lifted off the client's shoulders after a space is organized. Everything needs a home, and to be easily accessible. This is especially true in Olivia's own house with her two young boys!
​
On the weekends, you’ll find Olivia with her husband, Jon of 10 years, their 2 boys and 2 dogs either doing house projects, hanging with family and friends, or on a weekend getaway!
​
Olivia loves all furry friends in any house; you will most likely find Olivia trying to make them her best friend.
