About

David Radparvar is a designer, writer, and co-founder of Holstee. What began as a manifesto he wrote with his brother Mike in 2009 has reached tens of millions of people and become a touchstone for those trying to live more intentionally.

For over fifteen years, David and the Holstee team have designed physical and digital tools that help people slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what matters. Their journals, card decks, and printed goods are rooted in mindfulness research and positive psychology and have found their way into homes, classrooms, and therapy offices around the world.

Today, David continues to shape Holstee's creative direction alongside a small, dedicated team, including community steward Amy Giddon, who leads The Flourishing Life alongside a roster of facilitators and guest voices. Together they're building a quieter kind of platform: one that treats reflection as a lifelong practice rather than a finish line.
