NORTHWOODS SPACES, RE-IMAGINED
Cabin renovations, home improvement, and property care—done with skill, dedication, and a strong work ethic.
WHO WE ARE
KJ Collective = Kristin + Jeremy
We’re a husband‑and‑wife team who traded conference rooms for cedar beams:
Kristin Beischel brings nearly 20 years of experience in marketing, branding, and business strategy. She leads the operational side of KJ Collective while continuing her work as a marketing consultant for mission-driven businesses and nonprofits. She manages the details that keep everything running smoothly—whether it’s behind the scenes of a renovation project or providing input on design.
Jeremy Abler has over 25 years of experience leading retail and field sales teams—but his real passion is working with his hands. From painting and deck staining to light construction and landscaping, Jeremy brings craftsmanship, grit, and a deep respect for the trades to every job. He’s the one you'll see out on-site, turning ideas into reality.
Together we bring strategy + craftsmanship to every project.

OUR APPROACH
THREE principles & HOW THEY SHOW UP IN EVERY PROJECT
Craftsmanship Matters
We take pride in doing things the right way. From the first brushstroke to the final cleanup, we focus on quality, durability, and attention to detail.
Practical Solutions, No Drama
We’re problem-solvers who show up, work hard, and get it done—whether it’s a full remodel or a small job. It’s not uncommon for Jeremy to put in 12-hour days.
Respect for Your Time & Property
We treat every home like it’s our own. That means clear communication, reliable timelines, and work you can feel good about long after we leave.
