Do polka dots make you smile? How about bubbles? A rainbow? A bowl full of cherries?
There's a reason behind that. In her wonderful TED talk, designer Ingrid Fetell Lee explains why certain tangible things make us feel joy, how "the physical world can be a powerful resources to us for creating happier, healthier lives, and yes, how to find the things that make you feel joyful. As Ingrid says,"Once I knew what to look for, I was seeing joy everywhere." After you watch this video, I bet you will, too.
P.S. We designed our website and our cards with these joyful design concepts in mind, and wrote a post about its effect on this village--all in an effort to keep spreading joy. We hope it works.
