This week I’m joined by Heather Martinez, a graphic recorder and facilitator, and a hand letterer who has skills to spare.
We talk about Heather’s path into visual thinking, and the road trip she took to see the country with her husband, and trailer, Flo, and how it’s impacted her life and work in ways she couldn’t have predicted.
Finally, learn about Heather’s upcoming course, Lettering with the Masters, and some great tools and tips.
