Roberto Blake Featured on Minervity.com

I woke up today to find that I had the honor of being featured in an article by @KarenMcDade on Minervity.com. This is a real treat with me since I was put along side my own personal heroes like David Cousens and BrandNu! I can’t tell you how blown away I was by that when I saw it. Ultimately the article is to introduce the community to underexposed designers that use twitter and offer something of value to the design community by doing it, which was a great idea that I fully support.
