ABOUT US

MEET DAISA

Our Founder, Creator & Managing Director of Daisa Original Designs Ltd.

 

All of us benefit from something or someone to motivate us, and growing up Daisa was no exception. As a ‘Yorkshire Lass’ she was always drawn to the huge Paddington bear image positioned on the side of the Gabrielle Designs premises near Doncaster, never realising that one day she would be creating her own character…DODL BEAR®


Dodl's name is an acronym for:  Doing Ordinary Deeds Lovingly 


When Dodl arrived as a product, Daisa kept him in a cupboard under the stairs when she lived in an eco-house in Findhorn a small Scottish eco-village in the North East of Scotland. During the three years that she lived here, she began scribbling notes for ideas and characters with outlines for stories from her everyday life. This led to her creating story books, merchandise and floor display stands for retail use that would propel children into a creative and imaginative destination... FINGLEY WORLD®.

 

With so many life experiences - Daisa, along with her own personal growth and team, have helped to create the Daisa Original Designs Ltd spirited business model they have today... People Matter!

A REJECTION OFTEN GIVES YOU AN OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU WOULD NEVER NORMALLY HAVE...

Passion for overcoming rejection, dictated the following years - understanding, learning and organically creating Partnership Publishing, an independent publishing house in which they are able to share their knowledge, experience and passion for publishing untold stories, giving people a voice and Magic Moon Books a growing imprint, devoted to children's picture books, early readers and young adult.
