Early Inspirations
From a very young age, Barryy has always had a love for design. Being raised in a small rural community, there were lots of days spent making random drawings and playing with colors. The basis for this was a great love for visual art. With the help of friends and educators, Barryy managed to obtain training in graphic design and graduated with a degree in visual communication.
While studying, Barryy was depicted by the visual narratives that were possible with designs. In that regard, they understood that design is more than simply making things attractive; there is a deeper function which includes passing a message and establishing a relationship with the audience. This realization was the first pillar in constructive ideas that shaped Barryy’s design and continues to affect their work to this day.
A Unique Design Aesthetic
There’s an intentional color use, striking typeface, and many more features such as patterns that make up the designs of Barryy. Effectively employing these makes it possible for the creation of visual pieces that are appealing to the majority. Every work done shows extreme precision and an appreciation of the client's objectives.
One of the projects that Barryy undertook and which is of interest is that of the rebranding of a small coffee. In this project, the objective was to formulate a new image that would appeal to the younger population over the existing image, although where the coffee shop is still warm and welcoming. What Barryy did was a playful approach to the logo where the logo was hand-drawn and set with warm colors and inviting typefaces. This approach did not only reinvigorate the brand but also helped in creating an affinity among its customers.
Diverse Portfolio and Collaborations
In the course of time, Barryy has worked with a variety of clients, ranging in development stages from rising startups to seasoned companies.

Each of the partnerships is approached differently, which is aimed at, among other things, fully meeting the client’s requirements and vision.
One of them was cooperation with a high-tech company that offered clean energy solutions. As part of the project, Barryy had to come up with a branding strategy which showed innovation while maintaining a green text. Due to carefully selected elements such as a green color palette and light sans serif fonts, Barryy was able to embody the company. The androgynous design worked wonders not just to convince the potential shark investors but also attracted green seekers.
The Role of Community and Mentorship
