Daniel
Goodman

I'm a Design Director based in London with a focus on branding and packaging. My 17-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.

Flow Fostering Local Wellbeing

Daniel Goodman helped develop and facilitate the FLOW programme, applying his creative and technical expertise to implement bespoke, localised solutions, including the design of the two community currencies. Daniel’s ethos is to explore the role of design and technology in shaping a more positive future for all. The FLOW project is a two-year long, University of Cape Town African Climate and Development Initiative (ACDI) research project that took place in two South African municipalities – the Greater Kokstad Municipality in KwaZuluNatal, and the Bergrivier Municipality in the Western Cape, from August 2014 – September 2016. The project engaged out-of-work, out-of-school local youth – the FLOW Ambassadors - to build both individual and community capacity to thrive and innovate in the face of the growing challenges of climate change, resource depletion and inequality. Key activities included asset mapping, local storytelling on mobile phones, personal development, local government engagement and the introduction of two community currencies.
