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.

My Family Heirloom Book
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...
