Hi, I’m Kristin!
As a Minnesota native, mom of two teenagers, and with 25 years of experience in Corporate America, I have gathered a wealth of tips, tricks, resources, and hacks to simplify your daily life, giving you the freedom to focus on what you love.
My first career involved launching new businesses, integrating companies after acquisitions, and managing new programs for a Fortune 100 company. I thrived in the chaos of these projects, bringing structure to ambiguity.
It mirrors my personal life, where I had to constantly find strategies to balance work, home, and even the challenges of COVID lockdowns, homeschooling, and working from home. This experience shaped the foundation for Joy Foundry—turning chaos into order is my expertise, both professionally and personally.
I’m proud to be a certified KonMari Consultant, and this photo is from when I had the incredible opportunity to be trained in the KonMari Method by Marie Kondo and her team!
Marie Kondo, the visionary professional organizer and TV star, introduced the world to the transformative power of tidying up. Her first book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, became a global phenomenon, captivating readers in over 40 languages and inspiring countless lives.
“Kristin communicates clearly and effectively, always maintaining a positive attitude while thoughtfully addressing her clients' concerns. Her organizational skills, paired with her genuine commitment to understanding each client's unique needs, make working with her a truly positive experience.“
- Carolyn, Downsizing client using the KonMari Method®
What others are saying…
“Kristin’s guidance with the KonMari Method® gave us a significant opportunity to downsize. We had accumulated far too much over 56 years, but thanks to her we have removed so many items that we do not need, and that do not bring us joy. A very positive experience“
- Larry, KonMari Method® Client
“After going through all my clothes and getting rid of 2 garbage bags full - I don’t miss anything I got rid of. I cannot even remember what was in there“
