I have over 15 years experience freelancing as a Presentation Designer & PowerPoint Expert. I combine an academic background in art & design with advanced technical knowledge of Microsoft and Adobe software to produce effective and engaging presentations. My experience in presentations has given me a valuable insight into the user experience, allowing me to design and build in the most effective way.
My input varies depending on the requirements of each project. On the technical side I can convert an existing design (in InDesign for example) into a fully functional PowerPoint template. On the creative side I can work more closely with a client to understand their content and messaging, replacing bullet points with beautiful and engaging graphic content.

Media & Advertising: Interbrand, Ogilvy, Wolff Olins/OMD, Dentsu Aegis Network, M&C Saatchi, Mindshare
