003 Ingrid Fetell Lee & the Science of Joy: Everyday Design Secrets for a More Vibrant Life

Today I’m talking to Ingrid Fetell Lee, designer, author, and founder of Aesthetics of Joy. She’s spent years studying how color, light, shapes, even everyday objects can have a real impact on how we feel. Her book Joyful is one of those reads that makes you see the world differently. Ingrid’s TED Talk has been viewed over 17 million times for good reason: she makes the science of joy deeply human and instantly applicable.   

Ingrid has worked with brands like Target and Kate Spade, and her work shows up everywhere from classrooms to corporate offices to public parks. But what I love most is how she makes joy feel accessible. Not something you have to chase, but something you can design into your daily life.

In today’s conversation, we’re going to explore joy as a form of energy and how we can harness it in our daily lives. We’ll discuss how to make workplaces more inspiring and productive, how to design homes that nurture both kids and adults, and how retailers and event organizers can use design to foster connection and even improve sales. And of course, we’ll talk about how joy relates to women’s wealth and wellbeing—because when we feel more vibrant, we show up more powerfully in our work, our relationships, and our financial lives.
