Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Aimee Glasgow of Phoenix/Scottsdale

We recently had the chance to connect with Aimee Glasgow and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Aimee, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: Are you walking a path—or wandering?
Career-wise, I’d have to say I’ve been wandering down this path, but with intention. Along this journey, I’ve discovered so much about this industry, myself, and my clients. When I decided to take the leap of faith and turn my passion into a career, there were so many things I enjoyed in the creative space that it was hard to focus on just one. I’m glad I allowed myself to intentionally wander within the field, because if I’d moved with a firm direction from the start, I think I would’ve missed a lot of what I’ve learned by exploring. I always knew it was the right path, I just needed to find my way through it in my own way. And lucky for me, I also have my husband who wholeheartedly supports me every step of the way.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Aimee Glasgow and I create spaces that are not only beautiful and functional but also deeply personal. Whether it’s a pantry with everyday essentials or a nursery to welcome a new addition to the family, I handle everything from start to finish with custom solutions to fit my clients personal style and lifestyle. Organizing, decorating, and even creating custom art pieces for my clients. My service is never one-size-fits-all. I take the time to truly understand each person and what they need, so their space feels intentional, unique, and completely theirs. Life is so fast-paced that people crave spaces that work for their life and also feel special, and that’s exactly what I love to create.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who taught you the most about work?
I’d have to say I learned about hard work from both of my parents. My dad started his own business while working full-time, and he showed me that with dedication, you can accomplish anything. He made sure our family never went without and gave us such a great childhood. My mom worked just as hard at home, always taking care of us. Our house was always immaculate, she always made home-cooked meals, and every holiday was extra special. Her gardens were beautiful, and she took so much pride in how our home looked and felt. I feel like I got my entrepreneurial spirit from my dad, and my love for organization, design, and creating a beautiful home to enjoy from my mom. I really hit the jackpot when it comes to my parents, and all the lessons I learned directly or indirectly from them both.

What did suffering teach you that success never could?
For me, suffering has taught me resilience, empathy, and self-awareness. It’s shown me what really matters and built a gratitude that comes from riding the ups and downs of life. When I create and design, the hard times have helped me understand people on a deeper level and make spaces and art that mean more than what you see on the surface. I’ve always known that without the lows, I wouldn’t be able to fully appreciate the highs. I’ve learned over the years to embrace those tough moments instead of running from them, and that every high or low is just a moment in time.

I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
There are 3 big ones that come to mind.

The first is that you have to spend a lot of money to have a beautifully designed home. Decorating is definitely a luxury for some, but it doesn’t have to break the bank. There are so many ways to curate and create a space you love while staying within your budget.

The second is that you need to follow all the latest trends to make your home beautiful. The problem is, when people go too hard with trends, they often get sick of them as soon as they’re out of style. It’s so much better to invest in classic and meaningful pieces and then layer in some current trends in small ways. That way, your home feels timeless and personal instead of something you’ll want to completely change in a year or two.

And the third is that you need to buy a bunch of new items to get organized. It’s actually the opposite, and probably the most universal mistake I see most often. Organization isn’t about adding more stuff; it’s about simplifying and making your space work for you. Plus, what you see on social media isn’t always realistic. Organization isn’t just about a pretty picture, it’s about functionality. Real-life organization looks different for everyone, and it doesn’t always look like a perfectly color-coded, container-filled photo, it can, but it can also be so much more!

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. How do you know when you’re out of your depth?
I usually realize I’m out of my depth when it’s already too late to turn back. But somehow, things always work out for me. Maybe it’s blind optimism or maybe it’s just the truth, but I know I’ll figure it out. Even if it means a lot of late nights and staying up learning things I probably should have known before I started. In the end, it always works out even if I have to hustle a little harder to make it happen.
