James Barnard
I’m a logo designer, design educator and devoted dad. I specialise in designing logos and visual identities with meaning.
I have 15 years of experience in the world of graphic design. My aim is to pass on everything I know to the next generation of designers.
I make videos about graphic design, software tips and tricks and how to better sell your services.
