Check Out Tasia Moore’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tasia Moore.

Tasia, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I joke that I found my calling for Tidy Up with Tasia because I have always been a bit more Type-A than the rest of my family. But in all honesty, that’s just me.

I could always tell I cared way too much about things being in order around my home growing up. I actually found it very fun to have the chores that no one wanted to do, in a sibling pod of 3, like folding clothes in color order and picking up toys to go back in labeled bins.

When I moved to Arizona from California almost 4 years ago, I had never imagined I would aspire to have my own business so quickly.

After switching around a few jobs, moving a couple of times, Covid boredom, and finding the love of my life Brett (who has been my ultimate supporter for Tidy Up) I knew that I could make something of my OWN with my passion for organizing. Truly, I have an overall passion for projects in general. I also work full-time as a Project Manager for a digital marketing agency and have loved working within this field for years.

I have a wonderful family dynamic with the entire group there and a lot of Tidy Up business that has grown because of this job, but I knew I still needed something for me on the side. In the fall of 2020 before even starting at my current company I was putting a lot of pressure on myself in my career, that I needed to stop and ask myself “what was I doing for me?”

With the help of Brett, my wonderful roommates at the time, and of course my family & friends I launched Tidy Up with Tasia on Instagram! I have been able to take this at my own pace, which has helped me stay flexible plus have fun with it! 2022 has already been my busiest year yet and I am excited to keep driving forward with this business to see what I can shape it to be long-term.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
My biggest struggle has been balancing my work life and social life. Because I have essentially 2 careers (my full-time digital marketing job and Tidy Up) I could EASILY get sucked into working 24/7. I like to take on more than I can handle sometimes because I just LOVE what I do, but that does take away from living my dreams outside of my career.

My boyfriend Brett has worked from home ever since I met him in 2019 and plus some, so when we moved in together last year he helped pull me out of my work goggles and take more breaks together, as I too was working from home more. He does also know that I simply love to work and the nights that may suck me in more he always respects and lets me do my thing.

So he grabs me some wine & cheese, turns on Friends so I can listen to it in the background, and sets up a bath for me the next day (my “break” day). He has always supported me in everything and helped me learn to balance our lives together! You can thank him for keeping me sane throughout the last 2.5 years, that’s for sure! Love you so much Brett.

All in all, though Tidy Up with Tasia may still be new and small, this journey has been very smooth due to all the continuous love and support I receive from everyone. I thank you ALL!

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
Tidy Up with Tasia sounds very much like it is, I help you tidy up! With an initial consultation, I walk through the space you are looking to work on and find your vision. This mainly lets me see the space from an outsider’s perspective while also seeing how you work in it, which in turn helps me organize it most effectively.

I then breakdown MY vision for your space, utilizing your budget, schedule, new organizing products, labeling, and a little cleaning (I always joke to not be fooled, cleaning and organizing are much different *insert winky face here*). We then set up our official appointment and I come back with the product in hand, ready to revamp your space!

I specialize mostly in closets and pantries but I love working on all spaces because it keeps it fun and interesting. Plus working on a variety of spaces keeps my creative mind flowing to find new ways to organize. I think one of my favorite miscellaneous projects thus far has been a game cabinet. I had to get very innovative with how many things were in such a small space and it was simply very fun to color code + label for different age groups in the family.

The 2 biggest things that set me apart from others is:

1.) I always try and find ways to utilize what you already have in your home to help organize your space. This helps minimize client costs and recycles what you might not have thought could be reused.

2.) I also love working together and independently. I find it’s helpful to always do an initial consultation to not only see your vision but also your personality. The Communications BA in me definitely appears during this time because after a consult I know how best to keep you involved along the process (whether that means having you with me while I work or independently working).

I always share these options with my clients so that they know I am always here for them!

Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
I found it easiest to utilize my friends and family first to feel most comfortable with any mentor-related questions I had and my clientele, and then branch out from there. When I first started I was reorganizing my own house with my roommates every other week just for content.

Then I would organize every little spot in my boyfriend’s apartment, plus some close friend’s closets (to share cute outfits of course too). Slowly but surely through word of mouth, social media, and my digital marketing career, I started gaining more interest from people outside of my immediate circle.

It started out as such a fun hobby and still feels that way today because of how much I love it and who helped me kick it off!
