Presentation & Data-Viz

Made to hold a room, and to survive the next revision.

Strategic presentations and visual communication for executive audiences, pitches, events, and broadcast contexts. Designed to hold attention quickly and carry authority in the room — then designed again so the team can keep using it after I hand it over.

For organisations, government bodies, and senior teams who need to communicate clearly at scale.

How presentation work is approached

Structure Before Surface

I build presentation systems from narrative structure outward: what's the argument, what's the hierarchy, where does the audience need to breathe. The visual framework comes after that, designed around the case being made rather than decorating it afterwards.

A Deck Only You Can Update Is A Liability

Most decks fall apart the moment someone other than the designer touches them. A layout that only works in the original presenter's hands isn't a template. Clean master slides, locked type systems, and logical naming mean anyone on the team can swap a chart or restructure a section without the whole thing collapsing.

Legible In Thirty Seconds

A chart that needs a paragraph of explanation underneath it has failed at its job. Data visualisation isn't about making numbers look interesting, it's about making them legible to someone who has thirty seconds and a decision to make.

Designed To Survive Revisions

Revision cycles are where most dashboards and reports start drifting: a quick fix here, a cramped label there, and suddenly nothing reads cleanly. Because the data always changes, I build these to survive updates rather than just the first round of approval.

Something important to present?

A pitch, a keynote, a board deck, or a reporting system that has stopped reading clearly. Tell me the audience and the argument and we can work backwards from there.
