Barnbrook is one of Britain’s most well-known and highly regarded independent creative studios, based in London. We work with a variety of clients across the globe and projects of varying scales. From overseeing the brand identity and environmental graphics of Art Basel and Roppongi Hills to our much-discussed David Bowie album covers.

Barnbrook’s contribution to design was recognised with a retrospective at the Design Museum in London entitled Friendly Fire in 2007 and at Ginza Graphic Gallery in 2004. A touring exhibition if the studio’s work Collateral Damage was staged in various countries, including France, Croatia and Slovenia.

Jonathan Barnbrook is available for teaching and lecturing worldwide.
