Marie Kondo’s KonMari® Consultant
Hi, I’m Kristin!
As a Minnesota native, mom of two teenagers, and goldendoodle owner (the Joy Foundry mascot), I’ve always been drawn to creating order in busy spaces.
My first career spanned 25 years with a Fortune 100 company in Minnesota, where I launched new businesses, integrated acquisitions, and managed large-scale programs — bringing structure to ambiguity.
Over time, I realized I was drawn to doing that same kind of work on a more personal scale.
Today, I apply that same mindset in a more personal way. I help clients in the Twin Cities declutter, downsize, and create organizing systems that bring clarity to their homes and support how they actually live day to day.
Through Joy Foundry, I get to help busy people simplify their homes, prepare for the next phases of their lives, and make space for what matters most. If you’re feeling ready to declutter, simplify, or right-size for what’s next, I’d love to connect and see how I can support you.
“Kristin took my disaster of a basement and quickly and efficiently sorted everything and boxed and labeled it.
The Konkani method worked wonderfully and I will have her back for the garage. Thanks Kristin-that basement was weighing heavily on me.”
-Janet P.(KonMari Basement Client)
“Kristin made the whole process feel manageable and much less stressful. Having someone else organize your space can be surprisingly vulnerable, and she did such a nice job building connection, making me feel comfortable, and creating a completely judgment-free experience.”
-Lyndsey (KonMari Basement Client)
“There are not enough words of gratitude to properly thank you for doing for me what no one else could! Getting my clothes organized and helping me to get rid of clothes is really a priceless gift! I truly feel a sense of relief and peace now!”
-Janet C. (KonMari Clothing Client)
