I'm Laura Brooker, Holy Cow! Design Gal. Welcome to my online home!
I'm a twenty-something graphic designer who grew up in a village in Central Nebraska. I attended college at the University of Nebraska at Kearney and landed a job in Omaha. I met and fell in love and now I live smack dab in the middle of the city and I am learning to love it.
I've been a freelance designer for about five years. Most of my clients are small business owners, life coaches, speakers; some are my friends and colleagues and every one of them is passionate about what they are doing and have a sense about what they want in the end.
My passion is to focus in on that sense and bring out the elements that communciate the story best. I like to listen and work hard until we get it right -what I call the "Holy Cow! Moment".
I hope you enjoy my website. I write about my transition from the country to the city. I write about things I'm learning. I post photos of things I love and, of course, chronicle the start-to-finish of various design projects.
Thanks for letting me share it with you.
Mini-TweetUp for lunch! Meet your favorite 80×80 pixel-sized friends 11:30 am on Thursday, Sept. 3 at the acclaimed UP lunch room. Dreamed up by @rebelinteractiv and @holycowgal. Visit Facebook group to see who’s gonna be there.
I do hope you will come!
My friend Tyson married his best friend Jerusha and they asked me for fifty custom wedding programs. The design element and logo are unique and their palette of periwinkle, dark blue and lime was so beautiful to work with!
Here are some snapshots of how my proof turned out. They finals turned out wonderfully and (from what I hear) the backyard Colorado wedding was beautiful. Congratulations T+J!
My family owns a homestead in Central Nebraska and my ancestors lived in a sod house and later built a farmhouse that my grandfather and father both lived in. With the farmhouse came a treasure trove of heirlooms – clothes, letters and photos. Meaningful stuff if you ask me!
The photos in particular kept getting passed from person to person in shoeboxes and finally I said – “Enough!” and I set out to archive the photos in digital format so we can begin to re-tell our family legacy now and in the years to come.
I was blown away by the service and quality of ScanCafe.com.
If you’ve ever been faced with the question, how do I organize and archive old photos consider saving yourself some headache and use ScanCafe.com. If you have questions about making an Heirloom Book, let me know. I’d be happy to help.
Enjoy!
