Hello, I’m Daisy!
UX Designer, traveller, brunch enthusiast, and professional overthinker (in the best way).
- Product designer in London, currently designing enterprise data tools at J.P. Morgan.
- I design complex tools for a living and overthink the small details on purpose.
My Path to Product Design Was… Not Linear
- Started in Business Admin and Cinematic Arts at USC, with a minor in screenwriting.
- COVID rerouted me: moved back to South Africa, did a visual design bootcamp, and fell into UX. Never looked back.
- The screenwriting background still shows up in how I work: structure, sequence, and paying attention to how someone moves through an experience.

How I think about design
- The best outcome is often the one nobody notices. A design is working when someone finishes the task on their own and never needs support.
- Growing a number isn't the same as improving the product. It's easy to push engagement up in a way that quietly costs people their comfort or consent, and I don't count that as a win.
- Complexity usually isn't solved by hiding it. Stripping things away often just moves the confusion somewhere else, so sometimes I'll add a step because it makes the next five obvious.
The short version of my career
- BA in User Experience Design, University of the Arts London.
- Designed memories and chat features at CookieJar; refined mobile UX and brand storytelling at Millennium TV.
- Interned at J.P. Morgan, joined full time, and now design enterprise data tools for institutional clients.
- Co-founded Caps For Care, a nonprofit supporting young people in Cape Town through design and social good.
