About Us
Our Origin Story
Designed Intelligence launched as an idea from founder Joe. He created a career at Google, learning how to help enterprises maximize their business impact using data and AI. As an avid lover of travel, dining, and media, he saw that the consumer world was lagging in keeping up in implementing new recommendation experiences. “Recommendations are stuck in 2011!”, he realized. So, he launched Designed Intelligence to fuse his knowledge with his passion, and help users better spend their hard-earned freetime.
“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine
