Monique du Plessis
I’m a product designer focused on creating thoughtful digital experiences that connect user needs with clear strategy and scalable systems. My work spans end-to-end product design, from discovery and service design to interface design and design systems. I enjoy simplifying complexity, aligning teams around shared goals, and building products that are not only intuitive to use but sustainable to grow.

"It has been a pleasure working with you. And to be honest, leaders like you are rare. I appreciate your passion for design, creative thinking, patience, and willingness to learn from and work with us over the past two years. You joining the team was a turning point. Despite the challenges and limitations, it felt like we finally had a voice to represent what we are trying to achieve. Like you said, there is still a lot more to do, but your presence sparked conversations and challenged how the team views design systems. And that moved us forward. You led through partnership, collaboration, and teamwork. You gave us a seat at the table, and I appreciate you for that. You were the right person for this role, no one else helped us progress this far with the Motion Design System."
"Monique is assigned as a UX/UI designer but has been doing a lot more than what is expected from her or her role. Since we do not have a formal Product owner in Tracker or our team. she has taken it upon herself without being asked. to fill in some of the gaps we are experiencing with the lack of a PO and has been helping me as far as she can. Doing such a good job that we do not feel the absence of a Product Owner within the team"
"During the project Monique remained calm and professional even when tensions got high she remained calm and people were always happy to engage with her. Having such a calming influence in the team made mv job easier. She is a team member who always motivates those around her."
"Monique ensured that our UI design was done to the finest detail. She was willing to share that information not just with the front end devs but also joined discussions with the back-end teams explaining her vision so effectively that we were able to challenge the initial design and improve on it right at the beginning of the project which ensured that the first APIs we had a solid design and despite a number of hiccups we never had to stray from the design to solve for these minor problems we picked up."
"Great refinement session! Thank you for creating a great opportunity for the team to engage and solve problems."
"Monique's technical prowess in UX/UI Design is nothing short of remarkable. Her deep understanding of design principles, user experience methodologies, and the latest industry trends is evident in every project we undertake"
