About this person
Born 9 October 1984, Kondo built a consulting practice in Japan around organizing, then crystallized it into books. The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up arrived in 2011, sold millions across more than 30 countries, and cracked bestseller lists in Japan, Europe, and the United States by 2014. TIME named her to its 100 most influential people in 2015. The 2019 Netflix series Tidying Up with Marie Kondo pushed her into living rooms across America and the UK, earned her an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Host, and launched an online store the same year. A second Netflix show, Sparking Joy, followed in August 2021.
