How Personaware™ Works

Personaware™ is an innovative framework that translates a person's unique essence—captured through personality traits, motivations, and interests—into a Fundamental Frequency represented by a distinct color. This frequency acts as a visual and emotional anchor for understanding and expressing the individual’s persona.

Landen Henderson's Fundamental Frequency of #9A853E (dark moderate yellow, the same color as this background) symbolizes his warmth, energy, and curiosity. Personaware™ uses this frequency to guide the creation of personalized spice blends that align with his traits and passions.

How Personaware™ Informs Color Mapping to Spice Blends

  1. Persona Traits: Landen’s adventurous spirit, historical curiosity, and love for fishing and football are translated into tangible flavors.
  2. Color-Flavor Harmony: The golden warmth of dark moderate yellow informs the selection of spices, emphasizing vibrant, earthy, and grounding flavors.
  • Bright spices like lemon zest echo his energy and zest for exploration.
  • Earthy tones from sage and cumin ground the blend, reflecting wisdom and resilience.
  • Sweet notes from brown sugar represent his nostalgia and playful personality.
  1. Custom Blend Creation: Each spice is chosen to align with the frequency’s emotional and sensory attributes, creating a blend that resonates with Landen’s persona both visually and flavorfully.


Outcome

Personaware™ bridges the gap between personality and flavor, ensuring the spice blend not only tastes great but also tells a story—a true reflection of the individual it represents. In Landen’s case, the Lizard Lou Blend becomes a culinary expression of his unique adventurous and grounded spirit.
