Daniel
Goodman

I'm a Design Director specialising in branding and packaging. My 15-year career has been anything but typical; after a brief stint at Fuel Design, I spent the next 8 years running my own design studio in Cape Town and then hungry for a new challenge, moved to London in 2016. For the past 2 years I’ve had the role of Design Director at Pearlfisher, leading a number of exciting projects, including work for Sipsmith, Allplants, Bowmore, Belvedere, PG Tips and House of Suntory. I’m passionate and driven, have a penchant for bold ideas, a somewhat OCD-like focus on the details and the experience to deliver results through to completion.

The FLOW Project

Aug 2014 - Aug 2016
Social Innovation & Design

Two years; two different regions with remarkably similar challenges; 28 out-of-work youth; some deeply rural, some from bustling small towns; an unlikely collaboration of academics, local municipality, development practitioners, and innovators; one great big out-the-box project that pushed the boundaries of development work.

I played a key role in developing and implementing the project and was integral to the roll-out and design of the two community currencies.
