I grew up in Wisconsin but have always had a special place in my heart for New York City. I took the plunge and moved there in 2013 with just a couple of suitcases. I realized I didn't miss any of the stuff I left behind and liked living without all the clutter. Around this time, I read an article about organizing guru Marie Kondo. I promptly bought her book, started my own tidying journey and realized the power of living with just the items that bring you joy. I signed up for the first ever KonMari Method™ consultant training program in the US and shortly after, Joyspace was born. After helping countless New Yorkers declutter their tiny apartments, I relocated to Chicago a few years ago with my husband and son and am now helping clients in the Chicago area.
