In today’s episode I am chatting to James Martin who you might know from instagram as Made by James. He is a logo and brand identity designer recently author and has become well know for not just sharing his final designs but for showing behind the scenes of the whole process of creating logo’s. I wanted to chat to James about logo design but what he share’s online is so so much more than that and so we ended up chatting a lot about his journey – how he completely changed his life around. How he shows up online unapologetically as himself even if that might put some people off because he wants to connect with people and help others. As a designer James is a real creative inspiration to me so it was such a treat to be able to chat to him. Just a quick warning if you are listening with kids around there is some swearing and difficult topics mentioned in this episode. But I really hope you enjoy listening in on our conversation.
In this episode we talk about:
How sharing his process and journey has impacted his business
His commitment to sharing honestly online
How there isn’t only one way run your business and how we won’t have the same path
How he uses instagram for work but also to connect with people
How consistency creates trust.

A big thank you to this episode’s sponsor Cub and Pudding. Cub and Pudding make the most beautiful creative soft kids clothes which my kids wear, and I have bought for so many of our friends kids. They have also branched out into women’s wear and the jumper I own from them is absolutely one of my favourites and has become a staple in my wardrobe.
If you are looking for clothes with gorgeous colours combinations, interesting patterns and that will make you and kids your stand out from what you would regularly find on the hughstreet then definitely check cub and pudding out. They are always adding new items to their collection and I love all the behind the scenes of the business that they share.
