THE PARTNERSHIP

When they found Homekynd, they didn't need convincing.

Mary and Jon have spent 17 years turning forgotten houses into homes that feel lived in, loved, and truly personal. They know what it feels like when a space finally responds to you — because they've built that feeling from scratch, more than once. Homekynd is the first platform that gave their audience the same experience.

"The best spaces are the ones that reflect the people who live in them."
— JON & MARY

MARY TJON-JOE-PIN

MARY TJON-JOE-PIN

Mary grew up in a small town near New Orleans, surrounded by art, music, nature, and architecture that told stories. With 20+ years in hospitality and travel, she designs from a place of feeling—believing homes should welcome you in, not impress you from afar. She’s drawn to plants, texture, salvaged pieces, and the quiet details that make a space feel soulful and alive. If there’s a corner that needs warmth or a room that needs grounding, Mary’s adding greenery, layers, or something with history.

Jon eventually left a 15-year career in the oil industry to follow what had become his true passion—real estate and hands-on building. He’s the guy who loves his tools, never says no to a honey-do list, and somehow finds joy in solving problems with his hands. Whether he’s walking first-time buyers through their biggest investment, making smart renovation calls, or spending weekends on the prairie, building, or tweaking “just one more thing,” Jon brings patience, precision, and heart to everything he does.

Most people understand one part of home. Jon and Mary understand all of it — the search, the vision, the slow work of making a space feel like you. That's rare. So is finding partners who are also just genuinely wonderful humans.
