CARY FORTIN specializes in the psychology behind decision-making and attachments, as well as connecting with new organizations who can benefit from clients' donations. She graduated with honors from Dartmouth College with a degree in psychology.
KYLE QUILICI specializes in creating beautiful spaces using the items clients already own and love. She graduated from Boston College with a degree in organizational behavior, studied interior design at Parsons School of Design in New York and earned her certificate in sustainable design from UC Berkeley's Extension.
Together as NEW MINIMALISM, Cary and Kyle have conducted hundreds of decluttering sessions and as a result they have donated over 10,675 cubic feet of clothing, art supplies, furniture, and decor to local charities; that's the equivalent of over 427 bath tubs.

Fortin, who holds a degree in psychology, and Quilici, who studied interior design, have developed a system based on self-examination that is designed to aid those endeavoring to eliminate too many possessions. Although the authors provide some design advice, their primary focus is sharing the techniques that have been successful with the clients of their firm New Minimalism. They advocate a massive purge rather than chipping away bit-by-bit, with an emphasis on donating and recycling, and identify the mind-sets that lead people to keep so much. The authors then detail how to apply their system room by room as well as provide real-life examples from their clients. VERDICT Using these guidelines may finally provide the means necessary for those struggling to live a clutter-free life.
