About Sam
Design grounded in the real world.
I’m Sam Barnes, the designer behind Barnes Creative Co. My route into design has combined education, in-house experience and independent client work from the start.

I hold a BA (Hons) in Creative Digital Design, completed through a degree apprenticeship while working full-time in industry. That combination gave me the chance to develop creative thinking academically while testing it against real briefs, real deadlines and real stakeholders.
At DHL Supply Chain, I’ve worked across graphic design, bid and proposal communications, presentations, digital assets and design standardisation. Alongside that, I’ve built up freelance experience across branding, Webflow websites, print, social content, photography and practical digital setup for smaller businesses.
Before that, I also worked in a signage and production-led design environment, which gave me an early appreciation for the practical side of design: artwork has to survive beyond the screen and work properly when it becomes something physical.
