Users start by signing up and creating a profile on the Daisie website, after which they can search for creative projects, and network with other users in the fields they are interested in. The way a user's profile grows is not by obtaining high follower popularity counts, friends or likes (typical of most other social media apps), but by connecting with other creative people (via "chains") and working collaboratively on projects. Williams explains, "the way your profile grows is by the chains that you make. To make a chain with someone, you have to work together." Creative users can use Daisie to showcase their own work or their collaborations in the same or multiple arts industries. They can also gain guidance from leading experts in their field via a question and answer style format with others who have more experience in their fields.
