Meet Jordan Wilde | In-Home Organizer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jordan Wilde and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jordan, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Embarking on entrepreneurship wasn’t initially on my agenda. I’ve always liked organizing and found joy in assisting friends and family with their spaces. The catalyst for starting my own business was my sister, who recognized a unique skill set in me. Not only can I effectively organize my own home, but I possess the ability to extend that talent to others, understanding how to tailor organizational systems to suit individual needs.

I took the leap into entrepreneurship when my children were just 3 and 1 years old. Beginning part-time, I juggled my budding business while caring for my one-year-old at home for two days a week. As my business gained traction, I transitioned to working full time, even welcoming another baby into the mix. The decision to persist with my business post-baby was rooted in the positive impact I witnessed on my clients.

Helping others achieve organizational harmony became a fulfilling aspect of my work. The ability to connect with people, understand their needs, and optimize their living spaces is a source of genuine satisfaction for me.

What should our readers know about your business?
Launching my business brought about significant challenges. Juggling the responsibilities of being the primary parent to two (and then three) kids, overseeing a household, and running a business turned out to be a tough undertaking. Despite the difficulty, I value this experience greatly.

What makes my organizing business unique is that I personally handle every job—I am the lead organizer every time and don’t delegate this responsibility to a team. While this level of commitment presents its own difficulties in managing all aspects of my life, I am resolute in maintaining boundaries for the sake of my business.

The aspect I enjoy most about my job is the hands-on involvement in every organizing task and the chance to create effective plans. Excelling in this aspect, I acknowledge that it adds complexity to managing everything simultaneously. Nevertheless, I am dedicated to striking a balance. Another factor that sets my organizing business apart is my ultimate objective: to make myself unnecessary. I aspire to establish systems in homes that empower people to independently manage their spaces. The true satisfaction comes when clients report that their spaces continue to function seamlessly after my departure, and the implemented system aligns well with their family and lifestyle.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
The majority of my day revolves around my family and kids. I enjoy kicking off the day with a cup of coffee and a croissant from Common Bond, followed by a visit to a park where the kids can play. Our favorites are Donovan Park in the Heights or Pumpkin Park in River Oaks. Afterward, we usually choose a kid-friendly spot for lunch, like Stomping Grounds in Oak Forest, where the kids have play areas while adults can relax. We cap off our day with Mexican cuisine at Los Tios or Molinas.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My sister played a crucial role in starting my business. She not only encouraged me but also helped me come up with a name. Her support went beyond just words when she helped me get my first client, making me more committed to turning my passion into a real business.

My husband has also been essential in this journey. He handled the changes in our life gracefully. Originally, we planned for me to stay home with our kids, but I changed that plan. Even when work became a priority over free time, he was understanding and supportive.
