We're a diverse group of ladies, but we all share a common love for life in Richmond and making awesomeness happen in our city. What does "minimalist" mean to us? We each have our own perspectives that we bring to the table (er, uh, blog).

Kristen started Minimalist in February 2010 with the goal of sharing her ideas about living with less in Richmond. After losing her full time architecture job to the recession in October 2008, she had to cut back and realized it was much more doable (and empowering) than she'd ever imagined.
Now Kristen owns her own Professional Organizing business, Minima, and is helping people all across Richmond simplify their lives. When she's not organizing or blogging, you can find Kristen at a local indie music show, dancing (at a party or in her room), making music (she recently started a twee band with some friends), sketching or playing with her Netherland Dwarf bunnies Rocket and Coco.
