Hi, I’m Abby, the owner of Joy Method, and grateful to be so! Organizing is a practice I’ve been drawn to my entire life. My earliest memory is of arranging family member’s shoes while on vacation in Florida at age five. Since then, I regularly purged items from my bedroom growing up, always noticed areas of improvement in workspaces, felt incredibly proud in my twenties when all of my belongings fit into the back of my Tacoma, and now I’ve embraced the consistent journey that organizing and cultivating a peaceful space is in my life.

That essence of one’s surroundings feeling peaceful and put together is most certainly derived from my mom, Cindy Fochtman (pictured right). Cindy is an interior designer, a creative visionary, and an incredible woman overall. She’s retired these days and enjoys lending me a hand from time to time. You might just be lucky enough to meet her!
