That we are supposed to express ourselves, make our mark on our surroundings. We’ve been told - educated or convinced - that our relationship to our surroundings is an inside-out one. One of the things I try to explain is that there is this sense of our surroundings that happens unconsciously. I look at things like texture, color, pattern, form and the ways that those things affect our emotional well-being and by extension, our physical health, our creativity, our productivity, and our relationships. The book builds on research I started at Pratt, looking at how aesthetics influence our emotion. It’s been about two years since I left on a sabbatical to start working on a book called Joyful. I trained as an industrial designer at Pratt and spent the last 6 years at IDEO where I was a design director. She is particularly interested in the ways aesthetics influence our emotions. Ingrid Fetell Lee is a trained industrial designer and former design director at IDEO at work on a book called Joyful, expected out in Fall 2018.
