Who is Laetitia Jandric?
Laetitia Jandric is the founder and director of JOY!, an online store specializing in creative hobbies, DIY kits, and gift sets for the whole family. She created JOY! in 2022 in France, after noticing the lack of accessible resources for finding quality, ready-to-use manual activities suitable for all levels.
A former caregiver, Laetitia retrained herself based on a simple conviction: manual creative activities have real value, for children and adults alike, as an alternative to screens, a source of well-being, and a vector for family bonding. This conviction is the guiding principle of JOY!'s entire selection and every article published on the blog.
💡
Laetitia personally writes every article on the JOY! blog. Her recommendations are based on real product tests and direct knowledge of the expectations of French and Swiss families.
