PowerPoint Presentation Design Capabilities

Many of the PowerPoint design projects I've worked on have been confidential in nature, created under NDAs or for internal use only. So, while I’m unable to showcase the original client materials, the before-and-after examples featured here are representative of the type and quality of work I regularly produce. Each slide in this collection demonstrates my approach to visual storytelling, clarity, and brand alignment, offering a glimpse into how I transform content into polished, presentation-ready designs.

Brand & Storytelling Case Study

I do not recommend viewing these slides on a mobile device: the captions get cut off and the formatting can appear jumbled.

This deck redesign began as a typical internal onboarding presentation: dense, text-heavy, and off-brand. The goal was to elevate the narrative and visuals to better reflect Lumeo’s identity and mission.

A clear narrative arc improves retention and engagement. This visual map shows how I restructured the presentation around a natural flow that welcomes new employees into the story.

Across every slide, I applied consistent brand elements such as typography, spacing, color, and tone. This collage showcases design range while maintaining total alignment with Lumeo’s identity.

The original onboarding deck was functional but uninspired, which is a common issue with internal presentations. I transformed it into a storytelling experience that mirrors Lumeo’s purpose and personality. Today, it can be used as a foundational tool to introduce new hires to the culture, mission, and momentum behind the brand.

This quick behind-the-scenes snapshot highlights the consistent design process I bring to every project: one that’s strategic, intentional, and rooted in empathy for the end user.

Instructional Design and Accessibility Showcase

Please note that the term “accessible” has many interpretations. If you’d like a more accessible presentation, let’s discuss what inclusivity means to you and your brand.

In short: I create modular, learner-focused, and accessibility-compliant designs that adapt to varied use cases, engage diverse audiences, and ensure inclusive, barrier-free learning experiences.

Pitch and Data Design Demo

Please keep in mind that the animated slides shown here have been uploaded in GIF format. That is to say, the actual presentation quality is much higher, and the looping isn’t present.

Using a seamless morph transition, I split the traditional “problem/opportunity” slide into two layered storytelling moments. First, I ground the viewer in the global plastic crisis, then "pull back the tide" to reveal the market potential. This moment uses animation to reinforce flow while separating emotional urgency from business upside.

This slide demonstrates a creative way to visualize data: using torn pieces of paper to create a bar chart. This graphical representation is far more on-brand than a standard native PowerPoint graph.

Rather than a technical breakdown, this slide presents the product solution as an elegant visual block: packaging callouts, brand values, and subscription benefits are grouped using soft layout techniques.

This final slide brings the case study full circle. It highlights the three core skills demonstrated throughout the project: narrative structure, data visualization, and animation.
