I wanted to create something that added more joy in the world.

Everywhere I looked, I saw the same thing. Lives that were full, yet missing the spark that makes life feel alive. Days packed with doing, achieving, and keeping up, while the beauty of the everyday slips quietly by. I felt it too.

After a decade scaling tech startups, I knew what it meant to stay busy, to build big things, and to keep achieving. But even in the middle of all that, I realized success wasn’t the same as joy. And when I started talking with others, I realized I wasn’t alone.

There’s so much that pushes us to do more, go faster, and chase what’s next, but so little that reminds us to slow down, to pause, and to notice what’s already here.

The world is craving more joy.

But somewhere along the way, we forgot where to find it.

That’s why I created Romanticize Collective. Not another box of stuff, but an intentional ritual.

A pause.
A spark.
A reminder that joy isn’t lost, it just needs space to be seen.

Each month, we deliver four curated experiences designed like an advent calendar for your life. Small, meaningful moments to open one week at a time. Experiences that help you slow down, savor the everyday, and reconnect with what matters.

And the best part? We don’t do it alone.

The Collective is a community. A circle of people choosing to romanticize life together. Because joy multiplies when it’s shared.
