Summary
Kari Lonczak is a founder and certified KonMari consultant who traded an 11-year software engineering career at Amazon and AWS for building Refine Organizing in Seattle, where she helps clients create intentional, maintainable spaces. Her background as a full‑stack engineer (Java, Kotlin, React, TypeScript, AWS) informs a systems-minded approach to organization—she treats homes like products to be designed, optimized, and sustained. Kari’s experience leading cross-functional projects and building internal tools at scale gives her a knack for translating complex workflows into simple, repeatable habits for clients. Having personally experienced the mental health benefits of a full “tidy festival,” she blends empathy, practical problem-solving, and a light touch of humor to make decluttering feel achievable rather than punitive.
