Description

This week Jen chats with Jen Wagner, a type designer - and the conversation was incredible. We went totally off-script and talked through some really personal things. Jen shares her story and recent experience with burnout, we chat about culture shifts we’re noticing in the independent designer industry, and then we talk through how to get started in font design and what that looks like for Jen W. and her business.Guest Information:Guest Name: Jen WagnerGuest Business Name: Jen Wagner Co.Guest Website: Jen Wagner Co. websiteGuest Instagram: @jenwagner.coLinks Mentioned:Jen Wagner Co. websiteGimlet StudiosFree Font Pairing GuideFontselfGlyphsLearning Type Design by Charles NixIngrid from Penguin DesigningMaria Bowler - Writer & Creative CoachSpecial thanks to our producer Jon from Wayfare Recording Co.Connect With Us:Our Free Facebook CommunityOur WebsiteOur Resources PagePodcast InstagramSupport us on PatreonOur podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting:www.betterbranddesigner.com/disclaimer

Better: The Brand Designer Podcast was founded on the belief that designers need community. We find that the branding world often feels secretive, competitive, and sometimes just plain old confusing. When we realized that our honest, soul-chat-level convos between designer friends could potentially help other designers, we realized a podcast was only natural!Better: The Brand Designer Podcast was created by Giselle Field of Wander Design Co. and Jen Davis from Hello June Creative, who met in a designer's Facebook group in 2019 and became quick design biz buddies. Grievously, Giselle passed away during a climbing trip in Peru in summer of 2020. We encourage all listeners of our podcast to listen to our two Celebrating Giselle episodes. Giselle's adventurous, kind, funny, and supportive presence is missed every day - each and every episode that we record is dedicated to her legacy and her vision for this podcast.In winter of 2022, we welcomed Esther Knox-Dekoning from Sereth Design as a new co-host. It is our honor to continue recording episodes in Giselle's memory and we know that she is with us every time we sit down to record.
