What if coloring outside the lines made your product better?

In Happy Little Products, Norbert Teston fuses 27 years of global experience in quality and compliance with the surprising power of creativity. This is not your typical industry manual—it’s a field-tested, laugh-and-learn companion for product professionals ready to elevate their craft.

You’ll meet the Strategic Pillar, the Operational Pillar, and even the Who Gives a Damn Pyramid. You’ll scribble, doodle, assess, reflect—and yes, you’ll color.

Whether you're a seasoned quality pro, overwhelmed entrepreneur, or curious COO, this hands-on “thinking tool” lets you break down silos, decode compliance, and align teams—without breaking your brain.

Get practical tools, sharp frameworks, and surprisingly joyful insights that help you build better products, avoid costly recalls, and reclaim creativity in the most unexpected places.

Quality just got a whole lot more colorful.

And that’s exactly the point.

Our Book Return Policy (aka The Fine Print, but Friendly)

Hey there—thanks so much for grabbing one of our books!

Just a heads-up: all book sales are final. Since our books are printed on demand and full of our lovingly-crafted ideas, we can’t offer returns or refunds.

We’re here to help, and we want you to love what you get.
Shipping Info (aka How Your Book Gets to You)

We currently ship across the U.S. (and to a few international spots too—see checkout for options). Every book is printed on demand, which means we don’t keep a giant stockpile in a warehouse somewhere. Once you place your order, your book gets freshly printed, packed, and shipped your way.

U.S. orders: usually ship within 3–5 business days

International: shipping times vary (we know, it's vague—blame customs...)

Thanks for your patience while your happy little book makes its way to you!
Norbert Teston is a quality strategist, creative provocateur, and former global Director of standards and compliance for the second largest sportswear brands in the world. Over a 27-year career, he’s led global product quality initiatives, scaled lab-testing systems across continents, and developed governance frameworks that shaped product integrity for millions of consumers.

Starting on the factory floors of Vietnam, Norbert built from the ground up—establishing testing labs, training manufacturing partners, and eventually leading enterprise-wide transformations in quality and compliance. Throughout his decades-long career, his marker was never far—a true whiteboard whisperer translating complexity into clarity through visual thinking and collaborative sketching. This trademark became his signature way of aligning teams, identifying gaps, and reimagining what quality and compliance could be.

Today, Norbert works as a consultant and coach, helping COOs and product teams eliminate the risk of product recalls and design quality systems that are certain, predictable, and sustainable. He’s also a passionate costume designer for dancers, drag queens, and wrestlers—proof that precision and flamboyance can coexist beautifully.

Happy Little Products is his professional and creative manifesto: a visual, practical guide that challenges the checkbox mentality and reframes quality as a culture, not a task. His mission is clear: to help others scribble their way to clarity and build better, bolder, more intentional products. Preferably in full color.
