A vocabulary for intimacy in the digital age — and habits that bring you back to presence.

Builders, readers, and leaders who want depth beyond metrics, swipes, and noise.

About the Book

The Intimacy Code blends philosophy, design thinking, and sensual psychology to decode how connection evolves in the digital age. Each chapter invites readers to reprogram their relationship with attention.

From the loneliness epidemic to emotional AI, the book offers language for those who crave depth beyond screens — without turning life into performance.

Inside the themes

  • Attention as intimacy (and what apps trained us to forget)
  • Emotional interface design: tone, boundaries, consent
  • Presence practices: rituals that reduce friction and restore feeling

The Intimacy Code

A book for those who still believe technology can feel. It explores the space between our devices—where attention becomes touch and language becomes a design decision.

Not self-help—an act of remembering that feeling deeply is a form of intelligence. Part manifesto, part field guide, written for the ones who want warmth without noise.

You’ll get
a new vocabulary
You’ll notice
attention patterns
You’ll leave with
gentle clarity

Best for readers, product teams, and creators working in sensitive spaces—where tone, trust, and desire are part of the UX.

For Readers Who Feel

It’s for the curious — the ones who notice how their pulse changes when a message arrives, who sense that design choices shape desire.
