185. Why Your Design Career Feels Stuck – And How Lettering Unlocks It - Martina Flor

Martina Flor’s Open Studio

This week, you're in for something different: I’m sharing Part 1 of a powerful conversation I had on The Angry Designer Podcast. We dive into the misconceptions about typography, the truth about lettering, and how I carved my own path in a crowded creative industry.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the sea of sameness as a designer—or wondered how to turn your passion for letters into a thriving career—this episode is for you.

🎧 In this episode:

The difference between type, font, and lettering (and why it matters)

My leap from generalist to global lettering artist

Why “waiting to be discovered” is a lie

How designers can stand out by going deep, not wide

And one mindset shift that changed everything for me

💬 QUOTE TO REMEMBER:

"You don’t need to be discovered—you need to decide."
