Joy is my fuel and my compass.
I'm Thandi - a designer, creator, and woman of faith building a life around what makes me come alive. Everything here flows from that place: planners that ground your days in intention, patterns that bring beauty to ordinary things, and honest stories about the winding road to becoming yourself.
Joy expresses itself in different ways. Here's how it shows up in my work:
-
Your days deserve more than survival mode. The Daily Bread Planner is a faith-rooted tool for moving from scattered to grounded - one intentional day at a time.
-
I design surface patterns that bring warmth and wonder to everyday objects. Because beauty isn't a luxury - it's a form of care.
-
Through my journal, podcast, and weekly writing, I share what I'm learning about building a business and life with God as my partner - not my backup plan."
Nothing on this journey has been wasted.
A few years ago I started a business that didn't turn a profit. What it gave me instead was harder to measure - the discovery that I could create beautiful, intricate things with my own hands, and the quiet confidence to keep going.
I've worked at Nando's, taken a year off social media to heal, launched things that flopped, and made things I'm genuinely proud of. None of it was linear. All of it matters.
This site is an invitation to explore that journey alongside me - especially if your own path has felt unconventional, uncertain, or just plain weird. You're in good company.
