Today's guest is Robert Almeida. He leads graphics at SB Architects but also side hustles with motivational hand lettering at DudeBeAwesome out of Miami FL.
During this interview we talk about:
-what design and the creative field is like being color blind.
-how a bad breakup led to the motivation he needed and the start of DudeBeAwesome.
-how his grandparent's photography and art business introduced him to creativity.
-how SB Architects using print to interact with their clients.
-why freelance wasn't for him - the high points during this time, and the low points.
-the website project or fix that went completely sideways for him and how.
-rebranding SB Architects and why he is so proud of that.
I really enjoyed talking to Robert and hearing his story. He didn't tell me he was color blind until right near the end but I really wanted to try and understand what it was like being in such a creative, often color-based field while color blind. I found it really interesting! @dudebeawesome
