Artifcts welcomes Matt Paxton to its strategic advisory board. Established in March, the board provides diverse expertise and decades of experience across technology, estate planning, community building, marketing, strategic growth, and now ‘stuff.’ Matt Paxton started his career with his own downsizing and moving business before gaining national celebrity through appearances on the TV show Hoarders and more recently paving a new path with the PBS series Legacy List with Matt Paxton.

“Matt approaches stuff by looking at the humanity, the history, behind the objects and people’s attachments to them. He doesn’t demand a painful dive into a one-size fits all minimalism. We’re kindred spirits here at Artifcts,” said Artifcts co-founder Heather Nickerson. “Matt’s empathy and energy are great match for the passion behind Artifcts. Everyone needs a history and Matt respects that. He sees first-hand daily the need for Artifcts,” chimed in Artifcts co-founder Ellen Goodwin.

Look for the co-founders of Artifcts and Matt to be out and about through special virtual engagements and live appearances this fall. The trio will continue to Artifct-by-example and release tips to help you join in to redefine artifacts one recipe, heirloom, and travel trinket at a time. Heather reminds everyone, “Remember, when in doubt, just pause, look around, and snap a picture of the first object you see with a story or memory to capture. Artifcting is for all of us.”

The full Artifcts strategic advisory board includes:

• Matt Paxton, Downsizing, Cleaning, and Organizing
• Georgia Mavrookas, HR & Marketing, Ex-Bumble
• Richard E. Miller (Dutch), Wealth Advisor and Relationship Manager, Glenmede
• Aravinda Gollapudi, Technology Executive, Sage

Artifcts, Inc. is pleased to announce its corporate partnership with NEDA (National End-of-Life Doula Alliance). NEDA’s mission is to inspire positive, creative change in American death practices by creating high standards, ethical and practical guidelines, and rich networking opportunities for all End-of-Life Doulas, resulting in meaningful experiences for the dying, their caregivers, and the agencies involved.  

Artifcts’ mission to help people capture, preserve, and share the meaning (and stories) behind the objects of their lives aligns with NEDA’s desire to create a meaningful experience for the dying and their families. Through Artifcts, families can connect and reminisce over their happy memories, histories, and legacies. Families can also utilize the Artifcts platform to export a copy of their most cherished Artifcts to their estate plan or will, enabling the owner to pass down stories in addition to "things." 

Artifcts looks forward to working with NEDA to help inspire positive, creative change towards end of life customs and practices.
