Jules Yap is the founder of IKEA Hackers, a site dedicated to capturing amazing IKEA hacks worldwide. She started the website in 2006 after stumbling across a few clever hacks scattered across the Internet. Since then, it’s been her mission to curate the most interesting and useful IKEA hacks to inspire others to make the most of their flatpack furniture. Her site has helped thousands modify IKEA furniture with step-by-step tutorials, craft projects, and home styling.
She is a self-taught DIYer who believes that anyone can add their personal style to mass-market furniture. Jules has two exhibits in the permanent collection of the M+ Museum in Hong Kong and has been featured on The New York Times, Slate, 99% podcast, and New Straits Times. Jules is the author of “IKEAHackers.net: 25 Biggest and Best Projects.”
Besides mulling over furniture assembly instructions, you’ll find her brewing coffee, planting herbs, and traveling.
