Surprise Industries!
Our Story
OUR ORIGINS: Surprise Industries was founded by three New Yorkers with a love of experiences (Kat Dudina, Tania Luna, and Maya Gilbert). Since the company's inception in June 2008, we've turned our lives upside down to help our crazy idea grow to its full potential. Over 1,000 surprises later, we're starting to think that our idea isn't so crazy after all. We get so stuck in our routines and so scared of stepping out of our comfort zone that we need surprise in our lives (whether it's trying a new restaurant or a mysterious adventure).
Maya is pursuing other adventures, and two incredible Agents of Surprise have joined our core team: Becky Stella (aerial yogi and confectionary artist) and Cat Bee (writer and artist). We're also proud to welcome Dr. LeeAnn Renninger of LifeLabs New York as our organizational psychology consultant and fellow surprisologist.
OUR PASSION: Okay, maybe it's more of an obsession at this point. We want to inspire a shift in the way people experience the world. We're out to encourage positive risk taking, passionate living, and openness to new experiences. Our lives can be more vibrant, our relationships can be deeper, and all it takes is letting a little bit of surprise in. Sometimes it's scary and uncomfortable, but we never regret having done it. We hope you'll join us in our quest and help us inspire others.
