OUR TEAM

Meet the People Behind The Clever Everyday

The Clever Everyday is created by two writers who share the same goal: making useful information easier to understand and apply in everyday life.

Hi, I’m Wen Li, founder and editor of The Clever Everyday.

I’m interested in the small choices that can make everyday life easier—from organizing a home and improving daily routines to finding products that are genuinely useful and worth buying.

I focus on practical home living, everyday wellness, style, and buying decisions. When I look at a product or idea, I try to go beyond the marketing claims and ask whether it is useful, easy to live with, and worth the money.

Hi, I’m David Hayes. I focus on product research and buying guides for The Clever Everyday.

When I look at a product, I usually start with a simple question: What will it be like to live with after the initial excitement wears off?

I pay attention to the details that are easy to overlook before buying—how easy something is to use, clean, store, and maintain, what it costs over time, and whether the extra features are actually useful.

My goal is simple: to help readers understand the trade-offs before they spend their money.
