About Me
About <strong>Me</strong>

Hi! I’m Brooke Culivan (until recently von Bergh), a graphic designer originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana USA. In 2003 I relocated to Limburg, Germany, and I love it here!

My career experiences have given me extensive skills in graphic design, both in print and digital. At my last job, I became quite the expert in app & website mockups with Adobe XD. I'm also good with WordPress. Basic film editing with Adobe Premiere and After Effects and a love of photography round off my skill set.

I believe that you're never too old to learn something new, which is quite useful as a graphic designer. Keeping up with the fast pace of modern design software is something that I enjoy.
