Background

I’m the founder of Deidre Wolmarans Strategic Consulting and The Design + Digital Studio. My work sits where strategy, UX/UI, and creative direction meet: I build reputation-led brands that people trust—and that performance teams can measure. I’ve worked across London, Melbourne, New York, and Africa, partnering with banks, fintechs, and tech-led enterprises including FNB, RMB, Standard Bank, ABSA, Huawei, Sasol, IBM, Bidvest Bank, and SABMiller.

My approach is straightforward: clarify the promise, design the experience to deliver it, then prove it in the data. I turn messy, high-stakes problems into tight plays—research sprints, simple value propositions, product journeys that remove friction, and communications that earn attention without theatrics.

Recognition includes Design Studio of the Year 2024/25 (Corporate LiveWire Global Awards), Best Strategic Management & Analytical Consultancy Firm 2024 (MEA Business Awards), Most Impactful Change Agent 2024 (MEA Excellence Awards), Digital Marketing Specialist of the Year 2025 (E2 Media UK), Wired4Women Top Tech Innovator finalist, and JCI Outstanding Young Person (Top Female, 3rd Overall). Finalist – Forty Under 40 South Africa 2025.

I’m interested in one thing: connecting brand trust to hard outcomes—adoption, retention, and revenue quality.
