I'm Annalisa van den Bergh, a multidisciplinary designer and storyteller who helps brands and publications come alive through visual design, photography, and written work. I collaborate remotely with clients on social media design, editorial layouts, and information graphics, and I enjoy turning complex ideas into clear, compelling visuals. My Miles of Portraits project has taken me across the United States and beyond, photographing people and weaving their stories into magazines, short films, and online summits. I love cycling, creative collaboration, and using design and film to tell human-centered stories that celebrate resilience and connection.
