What motivated you to become a designer (or current role?)?

At first, it was Skateboarding (Teenage years), I wanted to do artwork for skate decks and design a website for my skateboarding crew, then I got more and more into music and became fascinated with albums artwork. It wasn't until one day during art class in high school when I found out that as a graphic designer you could do all that and more.

Either music or Photography for sure.

Do you have a talent (outside of being your talented self at Bergmeyer) that you are proud of?
