🎙️ Episode 192 – 5 Portfolio Mistakes That Might Be Costing You Clients

In this episode of Open Studio, I (Martina Flor) break down 5 common portfolio mistakes that might be stopping potential clients from reaching out—and more importantly, how to fix them.

As a lettering artist, designer, or illustrator, your portfolio is your most powerful tool to attract new work. But if it’s designed to impress other creatives instead of speaking directly to clients, it may be doing more harm than good.

✨ In this episode, I talk about:

• Why designing your portfolio for other creatives is a big mistake
• The one thing you should always include to build trust
• How to balance showing your process without overwhelming your viewer
• Why missing contact info is costing you real opportunities
• How to keep potential clients in your orbit (even if they’re not ready yet)

Whether you’re building your first portfolio or updating the one you’ve had for years, these tips will help you turn it into a true client magnet.
