Proteas from South Africa

Where I started

2019

Tasmyn Danae Designs

During my Bachelor of Social Work degree, majoring in Social Work and Psychology at the University of Cape Town, I founded Tasmyn Danae Designs. With the support of my family, I began selling my energetically imbued mandalas, privately and to stores around Cape Town, as a way to both fulfil my passion for design and entrepreneurship, and to bring a little joy, to the lives of those around me. At the time, Covid was impacting on the quality of life of many South Africans, and I felt that it was the perfect time to spread the message of self-care, and care for others. 

2024

International Adventures

After graduating as a social worker, I had gained invaluable humanitarian experience, working alongside some of South Africa's most vulnerable women and children. This valuable and challenging work still has a special place in my heart and I hope to continue to make a positive contribution to the lives of the women and men in my beautiful country through outreach work. After taking a leap of faith to start a new life in Switzerland, I met her husband, and we now live in Zürich, where I continues to provide design services and create art, this time with a deeper connection to my roots in Africa.

To share Joy with others, is to have Joy within yourself
