Speak Up or Stay Stuck

From The Deeply Graphic Designcast - DGDC Graphic Designers Nick Longo and Mikelle Morrison

Persistence wins. Silence doesn’t. In this episode, we’re joined by designer and creative hustler Myles Mendoza to talk about what it really takes to move your career forward—especially when things aren’t going your way. From getting laid off to chasing dream projects, Myles shares how persistence (and a well-timed DM) can open doors that talent alone won’t.

We dive into:

• Why “a closed mouth doesn’t get fed”

• Reaching out with confidence after setbacks

• Turning pop-culture passion into paid work

• Networking that actually feels human

If you’ve been waiting for permission to ask, pitch, or push through—this is it.
