Bernard George Barsley

Friends call me Bern, by day I am a Digital Design Director.

Leveraging design thinking with craft, curiosity and customer insight I deliver human centred responses, that build lasting impact for ambitious companies.

I have supported many shapes of work: design teams of one, leading design ops, taking ideas from zero to one, scaling teams, and supporting product growth.

When I’m not designing I can be found with family, friends and occasionally trying to be the fitter version of me.
