In EP75, we had the pleasure of speaking with James Martin, co-founder of BabyGiant Design Co. and the founder of Made By James, a brand-focused and design-led creative agency in the UK, also the author of the book "Made by James: The Honest Guide to Creativity and Logo Design" which was released this year.

Being good at what you do isn't enough. His words of wisdom? Work with a team first to gain experience, then go out on your own once you've mastered prospecting, pricing, and presenting.

In this episode, James discusses how to systemize your creative design process and how designers can do so to scale their services and make them more efficient.

We also talk about what makes a great logo and how effective brand designs can help brands advance.

What is the most underrated aspect of a great brand and communication design?

When it comes to new clients, how important is your "design style," or are you completely adaptable?

How do you explain the positive impact of a brand design project?
