Fellow Minimalist: Christie Thompson of Fibre Craft

Being a minimalist means something a little different to each person. To me, it’s not about a certain style — the aesthetic is just a result of the mentality. In my definition, minimalism is about finding happiness through eliminating the unnecessarium in life, therefore becoming the most true version of oneself.



For our new series “Fellow Minimalist”, I’ll be interviewing local Richmonders who are living life well — or “winning at life", as I like to say. They have found a way, often in spite of obstacles, to do what they love. Here, I share their secrets.

Christie Thompson is a 20-something working as the Marketing Director at BCWH Architects and simultaneously running her own hand-made shop. She’s also a veteran Minimalist writer!

How does organization play a role in your entrepreneurial success?

“I essentially juggle two full time jobs, so organization is a necessity. My side business, Fibre Craft, is my hobby and I love it — being well organized allows me to keep loving it (and hopefully keep growing it!)”
