About the author

Appendix

As someone who has experienced firsthand the monotony of daily routines, I set out to find a solution to this problem. Through a year of experience, study and design, I have developed a deeper understanding of this topic. The result is my book and a series of products, services and experiences that aim to help readers transform their ordinary experiences into extraordinary ones.

My approach focuses on using everyday products as emotional intervention tools, to bring joy into people's lives in a more accessible and sustainable way. By targeting different scenarios such as home, work, and the outdoors, my products gradually open users' hearts and bring good surprises and joy to seemingly mundane daily routines.

My target audience is 24-35 year-old workers who are looking for a refreshing break from their repetitive daily routines. My solution is not just another product, but a way to reinvigorate the daily necessities of life and infuse them with new-found vitality. I believe that joy is the ultimate goal in life, and yet it can feel elusive and difficult to grasp. Through the pages of my book, I offer a fresh perspective on how to find joy in even the most mundane moments of life.

So, join me on this journey towards a more fulfilling and joyful life. Let's explore together how we can transform the ordinary into something truly extraordinary, and infuse our daily lives with new-found vitality and happiness.
