Making BIG moves, chasing the thing that brings you joy - Mat Voyce

from WHAT DOES YOUR MUM THINK · host Kristian Shepherd

WE BACK! This week I’m joined by the very talented Mat Voyce.Mat’s journey started as a graphic designer, but what makes his story special is how he followed his curiosity. He spent years experimenting, playing around with type and teaching himself motion. Not for clients. Not for recognition. Just for the love of the craft.That curiosity turned into his signature style. Today, Mat is known around the world for his type design and type animation, working with some huge names including BBC, The LA Times, Disney+, Honda, Netflix and ESPN.In this episode we talk about backing yourself before anyone else does, the power of experimentation, and how personal work can open doors you never expected. We also get into the patience, the quiet graft and the mental resilience it takes to build something long term and trust your own lane.If you’re a designer, animator or anyone trying to turn passion into something bigger, this one’s for you.Run it up.–What Does Your Mum Think (WDYMT) is a podcast for anyone out here trying to make their mum proud.Hosted by Sheps, designer, podcaster, martial arts practitioner and a lifelong believer that if your mum gets it, you’re doing something right.Each episode, Sheps sits down with inspiring people who are figuring it out in this mad world, talking to the humans behind the hustle, the passion and the journey.Stories from the heart that make mums proud.–Instagram⁠https://www.instagram.com/wdymt_official/⁠TikTok⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@whatdoesyourmumthinkSpotify⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/4UQ1fAYGya2gOpUlyXSaPk⁠
