It comes down to more than impressive slides. Everything from the initial concept to the copy and the visuals must work as a cohesive experience to get your big idea across.

There are better uses of your time than messing with the technical details.

You’re an expert on the subject, but perhaps not on the delivery medium. Things would go more smoothly if the whole thing were cleaner and easier to revise.

Perhaps these sound familiar:

  • The charts are all over the place.
  • Small text that’s unreadable.
  • Slides that are too crowded and make no sense.
  • Someone copy-pasted a Word document into the deck and broke the formatting.
  • Half the presentation isn’t in brand standards.
  • Some weird font keeps appearing.
  • The file is three times larger than before.

I can help.

The solutions to these problems are usually straightforward, but can be time-consuming without the knowledge to handle them.

I’m a certified Microsoft Office PowerPoint Specialist with over 20 years of experience in presentation consulting. I have rescued hundreds of decks and made slick templates that non-techie teams can easily use. I wrangle wonky default charts into appealing, information-rich charts that support your narrative.

FAQs

Your needs will guide that. Some projects require only someone to pick up the slack when it’s crush time. Sometimes you need someone to jump in and just handle it front to back. Or maybe you’ve got an initiative for something for which you don’t have the resources in-house. I’m used to lots of different environments, constraints, and pressure levels.

If you’re using RoboHead, Slack, Asana, Trello, Basecamp, or other project management tools, I’m able to dive into your workflow.

I know that schedules change, and sometimes it’s hard to pin down specific dates. Let’s work with what you know so far, and I can hold blocks of time once we’ve got a sense of clarity on the timing.

I prefer remote work situations, but kickoff meetings and occasional sit-downs are fine. If the project requires onsite work, let’s talk.

I have in the past, but travel for projects is trickier these days due to certain commitments – it all gets down to scheduling. I will gladly assist in running presentations remotely, as well as help set them up in advance.

Completely at home on both Windows and Mac.

Let’s discuss any project management platforms you’re using. I might be able to hop onboard with little onboarding time: Basecamp, Trello, RoboHead, and Asana are some of the tools used by my clients, and I’m adding new ones constantly. Have a look at the Services page for an overview.

We can use workflows that allow you to check on progress at your convenience.

Yes! I’m fluent and completely at home in Windows or Mac platforms, and I’ve got workstations/laptops for each platform.

Sure, no problem.

I would like to know if I will be permitted to use samples in my portfolio later. In some cases, I have created sanitized / separately approved samples with anonymized content.

I’m not able to display everything I’ve worked on, and will gladly answer questions about past projects if I can.
