Why You’re Not Getting Noticed (and How to Fix It)

If you’ve ever poured your heart into your creative work—only to feel like no one’s paying attention—you’re not alone. In this episode of Open Studio, I’m talking about one of the biggest frustrations creatives face: visibility. Why does it feel so hard to get noticed, and what can you do to change that?

Whether you’re a lettering artist, illustrator, designer, or creative freelancer, this episode will give you clarity on why your audience might not be finding you—and what you can start doing today to shift that.


🔍 In this episode, I cover:

  • The real reason your work isn’t being seen
  • The dangerous mindset trap of waiting to “be discovered”
  • Why talent alone isn’t enough to build visibility
  • The difference between showing up and posting aimlessly
  • Actionable steps to get your work in front of the right people

💡 Key Takeaways:

You don’t need a massive following to get noticed.
You need the right people to see the right kind of work. I show you how to build that bridge in a sustainable way..

Visibility isn’t luck—it’s strategy.
Many artists wait to be picked, hoping a client or influencer will stumble across their work. In reality, building visibility is about being intentional with your presence and your message.

Your audience needs to know you exist.
The algorithm is not against you. But it’s not going to do the work for you either. This episode breaksdown how to create connection, not just content.
