He also inspires us to not shy away from starting with the most important tools we have…our brain, paper and a pencil. </p></blockquote> <p> Rafal Tomal (Typography Man) is the Lead Designer at Rainmaker Digital where he designs effective digital brands and experiences that convert for some of the most successful and respected digital entrepreneurs around.
