Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Florida
Im a designer and signed a contract for employment that states that all the designs I create is the company's property. Nowhere in the contract does the phrase 'work for hire' appear. Is this a legal statement anyways?

The clause that states everything you create is the company's property is likely going to be enough to establish the type of relationship you have - work for hire.
There is no need to have that term in the contract if the contract itself states that the employer is the owner of any designs you create.
