37. Navigating freelance success: Business insights from James Barnard

In this episode, I had an inspiring conversation with James Barnard, a highly successful freelance logo designer, originally from the UK, now living on the Gold Coast.

James shared his journey from working in publishing to crafting a thriving freelance design business. We discussed balancing work with parenthood, how he maintains a buffer between clients to ensure top-notch quality in his work, the value of a staggered approach to projects and taking the necessary time to interact with clients, the significance of a well-prepared client presentation. James also graciously offered insight into harnessing social media, touching on its immense impact on building his brand and opening doors for speaking engagements and interesting partnerships.
