Marie Kondo
Founder at KonMari Media
Japanese Organizing Consultant and Creator of the KonMari Method. Named Time's 100 Most Influential People and Fortune's 40 under 40.
Author of two New York Times bestsellers The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Spark Joy, an Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up.
Sold over 7 million copies of books worldwide, retaining the number one spot on the New York Times bestsellers list for 99 weeks. The work has been translated into over 40 languages and sparked a worldwide movement to reevaluate individuals' homes by addressing clutter. The book captures years of professional consulting experience and introduces the KonMari Method, which involves gathering one's belongings by category and keeping only those things that "spark joy." The KonMari Method transcends the typical “tidying how-to,” by focusing, instead, on the transformative power of asking: "Does it spark joy?" — a refreshing approach to countering today’s mass consumer society.
Founded KonMari Media Inc., whose mission is to “Organize the World” by connecting with a global network of readers and collaborating with partnering organizations. KMI has launched a KonMari Consultant Program to support the careers of individuals who are dedicated to helping others cultivate their envisioned lives.
