Yanjaa Wintersoul is a 23-year-old award-winning Memory Champion and the star of the 'The Unforgettable 2018 IKEA Human Catalog' campaign.

In just a week, Wintersoul committed the entire contents of the 2018 IKEA catalog to memory—all 328 pages of it. In a video from [IKEA Singapore](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invsbal), Wintersoul is asked to describe the contents of certain pages, call out minute details and is asked to recall "someone in the catalog [who] needs to go to the eye doctor."

After amazing IKEA employees with her incredible memory for the campaign video, Wintersoul is set to go on [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardees-show-us-your-meemaws) Live so that fans may ask her their own questions and quiz her on every detail of the unforgettable catalog's contents. As well as featuring an extended video on [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creatorbacked-wellness-brands), IKEA Singapore will also be sharing films telling of how it found and collaborated with Wintersoul.
