“Barry has exceptional design skills, is inventive, visionary, a natural creator and with his natural zest for learning he puts both himself and the learner at the forefront of what he creates, always creating digital learning assets to the highest standard. I had the pleasure of working with Barry and can say he is by far the best instructional designer I have come across, he is agile in his thinking and doing, he is a born educator and alongside that he is an exceptional nice person to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend his work, you would be very lucky to have him design your elearning, virtual training, online materials…. such skill is hard to come by. I hope to work with Barry again in the future.”
