Professional Organizing & Downsizing in the Twin Cities
Joy Foundry is based in Minnesota and serving the Minneapolis & St. Paul area, I help families simplify their spaces through whole home organizing, downsizing, legacy decluttering and planning for thoughtful transitions.
Hello joy, goodbye clutter!
Organize & Simplify your Home
Hello! I am Kristin, founder of Joy Foundry. I am located in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis & St. Paul, MN) and work with clients throughout the metro and surrounding communities, helping them create organized, functional spaces that support their daily lives and future goals.
Joy Foundry helps busy people organize & simplify their homes to prepare for life’s next phases. I believe in the power of organization to enhance quality of life and create space for what matters most. If you’re feeling ready to declutter, simplify, or right-size for what’s next, I would love to connect and see how I can support you.
How Joy Foundry can help you Organize!
Joy Foundry helps you create organized, functional spaces using hands-on professional organizing and the KonMari Method®. With 600+ hours of organizing as a Gold Marie Kondo consultant, I also help those preparing for a move navigate downsizing, making the process manageable and intentional.
Joy Foundry helps empty nesters and homeowners downsize and prepare for a future move.
Downsizing is about making room for the next chapter—letting go of items that no longer fit your life while thoughtfully addressing legacy decluttering, so you can move forward with intention (and a little less to pack).
Your kids might even thank you one day when they don’t have to move all those mystery boxes.
I provide hands-on support to sort, organize, and decide what to keep, sell, donate, or rehome, handling the heavy lifting and coordination so the transition feels clear and manageable.
Joy Foundry helps you create organized, functional spaces that bring order and calm - whether you’re moving into a new home, tackling clutter, or ready for an organizational fresh start.
As a Gold Level professional organizer certified in Marie Kondo’s KonMari Method®, I guide you through proven organizing principles (including the five key categories) to declutter and create systems that work for your family’s daily life.
While you make the decisions about what to keep, I handle the hands-on sorting, organizing, and physical work to bring it all together. I also responsibly donate or recycle items you no longer need so they can continue serving others.

What Clients Are Saying
“Kristin took my disaster of a basement and quickly and efficiently sorted everything and boxed and labeled it.
The KonMari method worked wonderfully and I will have her back for the garage. Thanks Kristin-that basement was weighing heavily on me.”
Janet - St. Paul“If you're on the fence about hiring Kristin, let this be your sign, do it! Our basement had become completely overwhelming, and what she did with it was truly transformative. I don't use that word lightly. The space is not only organized now, but it actually feels sustainable, like we can maintain it this time. Kristin is the real deal. Highly, highly recommend Joy Foundry!”
Kim - Minneapolis“Kristin was amazing!! She came multiple times and helped us immensely! Decluttering our closet, basement, papers, books and kids toys! She was friendly kind warm and inviting. Easy to talk to and explain what issues we were facing.”
