'MOOD FOOD'
During my own experience and research, I found that eating nutritionally-dense meals has a huge impact on mental health. All recipes & photos are by CDD.

MIND / BODY / HEART
0.4 is divided into three main sections -- mind, body, and heart -- each of which are color-coded according to color psychology. Articles are written for a broad audience in a light tone, yet maintain the evidence-based approach of 0.4 by linking back to scientific studies.
My friends are my biggest inspiration.
Also, I believe design is a tool that can
change the world.
In my practice, I combine photography, writing, research, and data to inform my work. I believe that content is king and form should follow function.
I've been lucky enough to work with people I am truly inspired by and who I believe are game-changers in whatever industry/field they are a part of whether that's philanthropy, fashion, music, or food & dining.
Nothing makes me more excited than helping the people I admire transform their dreams into a realities. It's pretty rad.

0.4
In a study, psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky revealed that 40% of your happiness is due to intentional thoughts, actions, and behaviors. 0.4 Magazine is a print and online editorial focused on *that* 40% and aims to highlight evidence-based ways we can increase our happiness.
I founded 0.4 to inspire, educate, create a community and share perspectives focused around happiness.

Research
In order to be happier, you have to cover all your bases: your body, mind, and heart. Though the three parts are divided in 0.4 for sake of organization, they are inevitably connected.
Each section is color-coded and references color psychology, as a means of wayfinding. In the research and content development of 0.4, I read numerous books which informed the articles I read and the imagery I created.

A lot of what informed the content strategy of 0.4 was my own trial and error: testing the science on myself to see what worked and didn't.
A few things that worked for me:
-
a positive psych class
-
eating more nutrient-dense meals
-
meditating and 're-framing'
-
deleting social media
I noticed all of these small changes made big differences to my mental and physical health.
Back to Testing
Sometimes you need a change of perspective -- at least I did when I designed the interview series 'Periodical Perspectives', which is a set of 21 questions that allows people to share the ways in which they maintain their happiness.
Periodical Perspectives has been a great way to connect with inspirational people. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have gotten to interview some of my design heroes as well as friends who I look up to.
Social Media & Brand Awareness
I did this by reaching out to outlets and doing features and interviews with them:
Business: Selling the First Issue
Toward the end of May, I decided to release the first print issue of the magazine.
I emailed bookstores and walked into stores in LA, Seattle and NYC with a copy of the issue in my hand pitching the magazine.
0.4 Magazine is currently sold in select stores in NYC, LA, Oakland, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, and has also been sold internationally.
In order to be happier, you have to cover all your bases: your body, mind, and heart. Though the three parts are divided in 0.4 for sake of organization, they are inevitably connected.
I also set up an online store for 0.4 Magazine, with original designs.
A few of the offerings include:
— iPhone cases
— tapestries
— stationary
Each media outlet has a different goal.
1. The print magazine aims to deliver content in a packaged, research-focused way.
2. The online platform is an opportunity to include other perspectives and utilize the digital experience to enhance the user experience.
3. The Instagram is a way to test out designs to see what resonates with the community. Business analytics allow me to see what resonates the most with different audiences.
