Build a Creative Business for Today's Creative Industry

The opportunities for designers, illustrators, and lettering artists have never been greater.

But the rules have changed.

Today, building a successful creative business requires more than talent alone. The creatives who thrive are the ones who know how to position themselves, attract opportunities, build meaningful relationships, and create systems that support their growth.

The Big Leap is a 4-month mentorship designed to help you do exactly that—while staying true to your creative vision and building a business that supports the life you want.

You Started this Journey to Do the Work You Love

A life as a designer, illustrator, or lettering artist—where you can fully express your talents and create work you're proud of—is one of the most rewarding paths a creative person can follow.

Yet many talented creatives find themselves spending more time chasing projects, managing their business, and worrying about where the next opportunity will come from than actually creating.

They take on projects that don't excite them, work with clients who aren't the right fit, and often feel like they're working harder than they should for the results they're getting.

And although you're not in it just for the money, you're starting to realize that great work alone isn't enough.

You want to expand your reach, attract better opportunities, increase your income, and build a business that supports your goals—all while staying true to your creative vision and values.

The challenge isn't your talent. The challenge is building a business that allows your talent to thrive.

A Different Way to Build a Creative Business

Over the past 15 years as a lettering artist, educator, and business owner, I've discovered a different path.  

You can build and grow a creative business that's uniquely crafted for you.

A business that supports your strengths, reflects your values, and gives you more control over the clients you work with, the projects you take on, and the way you spend your time.

A business that creates more space for the work you truly love.

That's the approach I teach inside The Big Leap.

Build a Sustainable Business Around Your Strengths Doing Work You're Proud Of

Martina_Studio_Happy

Success looks different for everyone.

For some creatives, it's working with dream clients on meaningful projects. For others, it's building multiple income streams, creating products, teaching, licensing their work, or gaining more flexibility and freedom in their day-to-day life.

The goal isn't to follow someone else's blueprint.

The goal is to build a business that reflects your strengths, supports your values, and allows you to create work you're proud of.

That's why The Big Leap takes a holistic approach to business growth—helping you strengthen not only your business systems and strategies, but also the mindset, confidence, and decision-making skills required to build a creative career that is uniquely your own.

Hi, I'm Martina Flor and I've Been Building Creative Businesses for Over 15 Years

What started as freelance client work evolved into a creative studio, three published books, speaking engagements around the world, a global education business, and a thriving community of creatives.

More importantly, it's a business that allows me to do the work I love, supports my family, gives me autonomy and freedom, and lets me make a positive impact through my work every day.

Along the way, I've had the privilege of helping hundreds of designers, illustrators, and lettering artists grow their skills, build their businesses, and create more opportunities for themselves.

Martina_Pic_v2

Everything I teach inside The Big Leap comes from real-world experience and lessons learned from building my own business and helping other creatives build theirs.

The Three Elements Behind Every Big Leap

Lasting business growth doesn't come from information alone. It comes from combining the right guidance, proven strategies, and a community that keeps you moving forward.

That's why The Big Leap is built around three pillars:

COACHING&MENTORSHIP

Work directly with Martina through live coaching sessions designed to help you make better decisions, overcome challenges, and stay focused on what matters most.

CURRICULUM&TRAINING

Follow a proven roadmap for building a sustainable creative business. You'll also get an inside look at the workflows and AI-assisted processes we use inside our studio.

COMMUNITY

Build alongside a carefully selected group of ambitious creatives who will support, challenge, and inspire you throughout the journey.

“I’m glad to have had Martina as my mentor during my Adobe Creative Residency. She helped me clarify my goals, kindly answered questions, and think up business strategies. If you are looking for someone who is a creative professional in business, Martina is the one!” Aiko Fukada

What Changes When You Build A Business That Supports You

The goal isn't simply to get more clients.
It's to build a business that gives you more choice. 

Choice over the projects you take on.
Choice over the clients you work with.
Choice over how you spend your time.
Choice over how you generate income.
And ultimately, choice over the kind of life you want to build.

Over the years, I've watched Big Leap members increase their confidence, raise their rates, attract better opportunities, launch new income streams, build teams, strengthen their portfolios, and create businesses that feel more aligned with who they are.

The transformation looks different for everyone.

But the outcome is the same: more ownership of your work, your career, and your future.

“The program helped me figure out what kind of clients I wanted to attract and refine my portfolio. I focused on working with international clients and kept only those local ones that offered creative freedom and trust. I managed to connect with big agencies and brands, and land bigger, better paid projects.” Yani Arabena

Andrea CataRo

“After The Big Leap, I felt much more confident reaching out to clients. [...] Last year, one project made up 12% of my income, but this year I’m on track for it to account for 20%.  [...] The Big Leap definitely paid for itself!"”

Chiara Ridella

“Overall, I’ve lost the fear of reaching out to potential clients, and that’s thanks to The Big Leap! I’ve already earned more from the knowledge I gained in the program, like charging double what I normally would for the merch project.”

Ran Keren

“When Martina told me to trust the process — and trusted me in return — that moment changed everything. Now that I see how much heart and time went into this — from Martina, the team, and all of us — I understand why this was so special. There’s just no comparison.”

Build a Career That Doesn't Depend on Luck

The most successful creatives aren't necessarily the most talented. They're the ones who consistently put themselves in a position to be found, hired, recommended, and remembered.

Inside The Big Leap, you'll learn how to create opportunities for yourself instead of waiting for them to appear.

Whether that's through stronger positioning, more effective outreach, a better portfolio, new income streams, or a more strategic approach to your business, you'll leave with practical tools you can continue using long after the program ends.

Because building a successful creative career shouldn't depend on luck. It should depend on a system.

Patrizia

“Coaching calls were just priceless and you definitely don’t want to miss the retreat sessions. They were very eye opening in various ways. I got more confidence, more ideas for my own business and a lot of insights how my fellow peers are coping with topics like client outreach or even impostor syndrome.”

Dijana

“I’m so happy to be part of this community and to keep on helping each other.”

Andrea Cataro

“If you’re on the fence about getting this program I can tell you that you should invest in it. I can’t recommend this course enough!”

Yani_Work

I am very happy and grateful for having taken the plunge and been a part of this program. It truly exceeded my expectations, and I rediscovered myself as a professional. I am deeply thankful to Martina for her professionalism, for being present with me and each of my peers. Thank you always for opening doors. I love you all.

Yani Arabena

LeapNow_Testimonials_Illustration_Compositions-04

The first thing this program did for me is providing me with a step-to-step process on where to start and how to start thinking about my business. If you’re someone like me who loves art talk but not so much business and marketing talk, I think you’re going to love this program. You’re going to use your creative skills for your business side, and you’re going to work on your biggest art project of your life; your own business.

Vera Drmanovski

Testimonials_Illustration_Compositions-stephanie

There’s so much that I loved from Martina’s program. She reviewed our website and gave us so much valuable feedback because she knows what clients are looking for. She knows the mistakes that are being made out there, and she gave everyone in the program individualised help with their websites. Martina has a system for everything, so if you are stuck with something, chances are that she knows how to fix it.

Stephanie Owens

LeapNow_Testimonials_Illustration_Compositions-02

This was an excellent program for me to actually get some guidance and structure on how I manage my creative business . One of my favourite parts of the course is that Martina takes you through her career timeline, and she helps you contextualise your situation and understand that you have a lot of the tools that you need to be a successful professional. Tthis program definitely gave me the confidence that I think I was lacking.

Alanna Flowers

LeapNow_Testimonials_Illustration_Compositions-03

What I loved most about the program was the creative community that I experienced. You are able to interact with artists and designers from all over the world, understanding all of the commonality that we have together as artists. We struggle with the same things, we can celebrate things together.

Amy Huzil

What Past Participants Think In A Nutshell

"I also loved the sheer amount of material you provided, especially the email templates. I used to take forever to figure out what to say, but those templates helped me respond quickly and confidently."

Chiara R.

"What I loved most about The Big Leap was the supportive community. Meeting people from all over the world who were facing the same challenges as me—communicating with clients, portfolio struggles, time management—was incredibly helpful."

Michael L.

"The program gave me the confidence I needed to handle the business side of art. The coaching calls provided structure and support, keeping me accountable and motivated."

Andrea C.

Why We Limit The Big Leap to 12 Participants

The Big Leap is designed to be a mentorship, not a course.

By keeping the cohort small, I'm able to provide direct feedback, personalized guidance, and meaningful support throughout the program.

It also creates a close-knit group of creatives who learn from one another, hold each other accountable, and often remain connected long after the program ends.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

01.

You're already skilled at what you do, but you're still figuring out how to turn those skills into a sustainable business.

02.

You're tired of relying solely on referrals and want a more intentional way of creating opportunities.

03.

You want to attract better clients, increase your income, and gain more control over your creative career.

04.

You want to build a business that supports your goals, values, and lifestyle—not someone else's definition of success.

05.

You're ready to improve your positioning, pricing, outreach, and business systems.

06.

You're willing to take action, implement what you learn, and commit to your growth over the next four months, and beyond.

And you want to do all of this NOW so you can have a sustainable business for many years to come.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

✗ You're looking for overnight success or a magic formula.

✗ You're looking for a passive course that you can consume without participating.

✗ You're unwilling to put yourself out there and actively create opportunities for yourself.

✗ You're not ready to invest time and energy into building your business.

The Mentorship Behind My Books The Big Leap & Make It

Many of the ideas I teach inside The Big Leap eventually became the foundation for my books The Big Leap and Make It, which have reached tens of thousands of creatives around the world.

Over the years, I've refined these frameworks through my own business journey and through working closely with hundreds of creatives.

Today, The Big Leap remains the place where I teach these concepts most deeply, helping participants apply them directly to their own businesses and careers.

The books provide the ideas. The Big Leap helps you put them into practice.

Over four months, you'll receive the guidance, accountability, training, and support needed to apply these concepts directly to your business and turn them into meaningful action.

Because knowing what to do is one thing. Building a business around it is another.

"Martina’s openness during the sessions was invaluable. There was no gatekeeping, and I felt comfortable sharing my struggles. She always provided clear and detailed advice, which helped me make crucial decisions for my business." Jose Jimenez Vega

Now Is Always An Excellent Time To Start

Waiting rarely creates more certainty. Most creatives don't feel fully ready before they take the next step.

The truth is that confidence often comes after action, not before it.

Whether you're looking to attract better clients, increase your income, develop new opportunities, or build a stronger business foundation, the best time to start working toward those goals is before you feel completely ready.

“Thanks so much, Martina, for mentoring our Creative Residents for the past 4 years. Your knowledge and industry expertise helped them to achieve many of their goals and your advice and guidance is so valuable to them! I think every creative should get a mentor / coach and reach out for the career they want to have. Martina is definitely the one to work with!” Franziska Parschau

These sessions are an opportunity to learn from your peers, gain fresh perspectives, and stay accountable to the actions that will move your business forward.

Together, you'll share experiences, celebrate wins, exchange feedback, and support one another as you build the next chapter of your business.

Frequently Asked Questions


The Big Leap starts on October 1st. The intensive mentorship runs for 4 months, followed by ongoing bi-monthly check-in sessions to help you maintain momentum and continue implementing what you’ve learned.


The Big Leap is for lettering artists, illustrators, designers, and creative freelancers who want to build or grow a sustainable creative business around their skills. You don’t need to have everything figured out already. Some participants join with an existing freelance business, while others are building the foundations of one.


No. You should have creative skills and a serious desire to build a business around them, but you don’t need to have a fully running business yet. The program is designed to support both creatives who are starting to build their business and those who want to strengthen and grow what they’ve already started.


The Big Leap is limited to 12 participants. This allows the experience to stay personal, focused, and supportive, with space for direct feedback, meaningful conversations, and a strong group dynamic.


Live coaching calls take place twice a month. The exact schedule will be confirmed before the program begins, and we do our best to choose times that work for participants across Europe and North America.


We do our best to choose call times that work for most participants. If you are in a different time zone, recordings will be available, and you’ll still be able to ask questions and receive support through the community platform.


This is the highest level of mentorship and support I offer. You’ll work with me through live coaching calls, receive feedback inside the community, and get direct guidance throughout the program. I’m very present inside The Big Leap, and the small cohort allows me to get to know your goals, challenges, and business more personally.


The Big Leap is a group mentorship, not a one-on-one coaching program. Most of the support happens through live group coaching calls, the community platform, implementation sessions, and feedback opportunities. This year, however, every participant will also receive a 1:1 onboarding call with Martina before the program begins, plus a personalized portfolio review from Martina at the end of the program. If you pay in full, you’ll also receive an additional bonus: a private 1:1 coaching call with Martina, valued at $800, which you can book anytime in 2027 after the program ends in February.

This is the highest level of mentorship and support I offer. You’ll work directly with me through live coaching calls, receive feedback inside the community, and get guidance throughout the program as you implement the work in your own business. Because The Big Leap is limited to a small cohort, I’m able to get to know your goals, challenges, portfolio, and business more personally. This year, every participant will also receive a 1:1 onboarding call with me before the program begins, as well as a personalized portfolio review during the program. So while The Big Leap is a group mentorship, it’s designed to feel personal, high-touch, and deeply connected to where you are in your creative business.


Implementation sessions are designed to help you put important business systems in place. These may include support with things like setting up your email list, creating a landing page, building a welcome sequence, or working through technical steps that often slow creatives down.


Yes, but The Big Leap is not an AI program. You’ll get an inside look at modern studio systems and AI-assisted workflows that can help you reduce repetitive tasks, streamline your operations, and create more time for meaningful creative work.


The virtual business retreat takes place during the program. Exact dates will be confirmed with participants. The retreat is one of the highlights of The Big Leap and gives you dedicated time to step away from daily work, reflect, make decisions, and create momentum for the next stage of your business.


You can expect to spend around 2–3 hours per week on average, depending on how deeply you engage with the curriculum, calls, community, and implementation work. The more you participate, the more you’ll get out of the experience.


No. Because The Big Leap is a small, application-based mentorship with only 12 spots, we do not offer a money-back guarantee. Each application is reviewed carefully to make sure the program is a strong fit before enrollment.


Once you apply, we’ll review your application carefully to understand your goals, your current stage, and whether The Big Leap is the right fit for you. Selected applicants will receive the next steps for joining the cohort.
