Inspiring Conversations with Nyla Wright of Eye For It Organizing

Today we’d like to introduce you to Nyla Wright.

Hi Nyla, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I am a native of Chicago, Illinois, and in 2011, my family and I relocated to Arizona to begin a new chapter. In 2016, I earned my AAS degree in Advanced Behavioral Health, a field that deepened my passion for helping individuals improve their emotional well-being and quality of life.

In 2020, I took a leap of faith and launched my dream business as a professional organizer. My lifelong passion for creating order, balance, and beauty in everyday spaces finally became a career. From a young age, I’ve had a natural eye for detail, design, and functionality. I’ve always loved transforming spaces into calm, organized environments that bring peace and clarity to the people who live in them.

As a single working mother raising two daughters — one with special needs — organization became more than a passion; it became a necessity. Keeping our home functional, accessible, and stress-free was essential for my family’s well-being. I developed systems that made daily routines easier for caretakers and created a home environment where my daughter could move freely and safely. Organization helped me manage my time, reduce overwhelm, and maintain balance while working full-time and caring for my children.

My “aha” moment came when someone asked me, “If you could choose any field to work in that you absolutely love, what would it be?” My answer was immediate: I love helping people, and I love organizing. That moment made me realize I had more than 20 years of personal and practical experience organizing for myself, my family, and my friends — and that I could use that gift to help others professionally.

Two years later, I decided to transition from the behavioral health field and fully commit to my business as a professional organizer. I wanted to merge my background in mental health with my passion for organization. I’ve seen firsthand how clutter and disorganization can affect a person’s mood, motivation, and mental clarity. Many people struggling with challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, or hoarding disorder benefit greatly from a structured, supportive, and judgment-free organizing process.

To strengthen my skills and better serve my clients, I completed a 12-week Professional Organizer certification course, gaining formal training in organizing systems, design, and client management.

Today, I help clients create peaceful, functional spaces that reduce stress and support their emotional well-being. Whether I’m working with busy families, new moms, seniors downsizing, or individuals managing health challenges, my mission is the same — to bring order, comfort, and confidence back into their homes and lives.

I love what I do because I’ve lived it. I understand how powerful an organized home can be in restoring peace of mind and improving daily life.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road to building my professional organizing business hasn’t been smooth, but it’s been meaningful every step of the way. I began developing my business in 2020, right as the world shut down due to COVID-19. Because I couldn’t go into clients’ homes, I pivoted to offering virtual organizing services — helping people create order and peace in their spaces during a time when chaos felt unavoidable.

When restrictions lifted and others in my field began returning to in-person work, I faced another challenge. My daughter, who required nursing care, was affected by the national nurse shortage. I continued working virtually while caring for her full-time, determined not to lose sight of my purpose — helping people transform their homes and lives through organization.

In 2022, my daughter’s health declined, and she was diagnosed with gastroparesis, a chronic illness that caused her great pain and required constant care. During that time, I paused in-person work but kept learning, growing, and refining my business strategies whenever I could.

Despite these hardships, I never gave up. My love for organizing — and for helping others find calm and clarity in their surroundings — kept me grounded.

By the end of 2022, my daughter began improving, and I started slowly rebuilding my clientele. But in May 2023, my world changed forever when my daughter became critically ill and passed away. It was the hardest moment of my life. For more than a year, I stepped back to heal and rediscover my strength.

Through my faith and the memory of my daughter, I found renewed motivation. She inspired me to continue doing what I love — bringing peace, comfort, and structure into people’s homes and lives.

Today, I work full-time as a paraprofessional supporting students with special needs, and I continue growing my organizing business part-time. My goal is to transition back to full-time by 2026. I’m now focusing on partnering with realtors, assisted living communities, moving companies, and local businesses to provide downsizing, packing, unpacking, and organizing services that truly make a difference.

Every experience — even the difficult ones — has shaped who I am as a business owner and as a person. I wouldn’t change any part of my journey, except that I wish my biggest cheerleader, my daughter, could be here to see how far we’ve come. Her spirit continues to guide everything I do, and her memory fuels my passion for helping others find peace through organization.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My business, Eye For It Organizing, specializes in helping individuals and families create peaceful, functional, and beautifully organized spaces. I provide downsizing, packing, unpacking, and professional organizing services, with a special focus on serving seniors, caregivers, busy professionals, and individuals transitioning to assisted living or new homes.

What makes my business unique is that it’s built on compassion, understanding, and real-life experience. With my background in behavioral health and my years of caring for a child with special needs, I understand how deeply our environment affects our emotional well-being. I don’t just organize “things” — I help people create systems that reduce stress, restore balance, and make daily life easier and more enjoyable.

Every client’s situation is different, which is why my approach is always personal and judgment-free. Whether someone is downsizing after 30 years in the same home, adjusting to a major life change, or simply overwhelmed by clutter, I meet them where they are and guide them step by step. My goal is to create spaces that reflect who they are now — not just where they’ve been.

What sets me apart from other professional organizers is my ability to connect organization with mental and emotional wellness. I believe that when your space feels calm and in order, your mind and spirit follow. My clients often tell me they feel lighter, happier, and more in control of their lives after working with me — and that’s what I’m most proud of.

Brand-wise, I’m proud that my business represents hope, healing, and transformation. Organization is more than making things look nice; it’s about creating peace in your home and in your heart. My services are rooted in care, empathy, and the belief that everyone deserves a space that supports their best life.

I am also expanding my services to collaborate with realtors, assisted living communities, and moving companies to provide seamless transitions for clients who are moving or downsizing. My mission is to continue growing my reach so I can help even more people experience the relief and freedom that comes from an organized home.

Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
For anyone just starting, my biggest advice is: don’t let challenges stop you — let them shape you. Every obstacle I’ve faced has made me stronger and more determined. Your journey might not look like anyone else’s, and that’s okay. Stay true to your purpose and remember why you started.

I also wish I had known earlier how powerful networking and community connections can be. Collaborating with others — from local businesses to real estate professionals and senior centers — has helped me grow faster and serve more people. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there, share your story, and build genuine relationships.

And most importantly, believe in the value of what you offer. You might not see success overnight, but every step forward is building something beautiful.
