Lettering Artist Dan Lee on Why Graphic Designers Must Chase Obsession, Not Trends

Lettering Artist Dan Lee proves that graphic design careers aren’t built on safe degrees or raw talent...they’re built on obsession and the courage to ditch the rules.

This week on a special episode of The Angry Designer Podcast LIVE at Crop Con, we sit down with Lettering Artist Dan Lee, who walked away from chemical engineering to chase design, and built a thriving career without a design degree. His story destroys the starving artist myth and shows why obsession beats talent every time.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why playing it safe can kill your creative potential
- How personal projects can launch a real design career
- Why obsession, not talent, is the secret to surviving trends and AI

If you’re ready to stop following rules and start building a career on your terms, this one’s for you.
