In this episode, we sit down with Jamie Clarke, a designer who's worn all the hats—from web design to founding his own type foundry.

Jamie opens up about the power of community and how networking played a pivotal role in his creative journey. He also takes us through his evolution as a designer and gets real about the financial side of type design. Plus, we dive into a hot topic: AI and its growing impact on typography.

Packed with insights on navigating the ups and downs of a design career, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to balance business and creativity in the ever-evolving design world.

  • Why networking is a secret weapon for growing in the design industry.
  • How a creative community can give you the confidence boost you didn’t know you needed.
  • Balancing commercial work with passion projects keeps the creative fire alive.
  • How your role as a designer can shift and change.
