Hello joy, goodbye clutter!
I’m here to help you organize, downsize, and declutter
so you can make room for what matters most.
Based in Minnesota and serving the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area, I help families simplify their spaces through
whole home organizing, downsizing, legacy decluttering and planning for thoughtful transitions.
Hello! I am Kristin, founder of Joy Foundry. I am located in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN). I started this company because I know balancing everything at home and work can be tough, often leading to frustration or exhaustion as we struggle to keep up while trying to enjoy the things we’ve worked so hard for.
As a working mom, I understand the challenges of balancing it all, and I’m passionate about helping others find more time for what matters most. After 25 years in a big corporation, I took the leap and started the Joy Foundry to help Minnesota families simplify their lives and find the freedom to focus on what truly brings them joy.
