FAQs

Have another question?
Get in touch, I’d love to hear what you’re working on.

Do you work with businesses in the United States?

Yes! I work remotely with US companies and agencies, including Norwest and Dometic. Whether you need a corporate presentation, investor pitch deck or conference keynote, we can work together wherever your team is based.

Where are you based, and which markets do you work with?

I’m based in Cape Town, South Africa, working with businesses across North America and EMEA. My projects are managed remotely, so there’s no need to be in the same city—or country—to create a great presentation together.

How do we work together across time zones?

Most communication happens over email, giving you space to share content and feedback when it suits your schedule. When a call would help, we can arrange a suitable time. We’ll agree on deadlines and feedback milestones upfront to keep things moving.

What types of presentations do you design?

I design company presentations, investor pitch decks, sales decks, internal communications, custom templates and animated presentations for keynotes and conferences. If you’re unsure where your project fits, send me a brief description and I’ll point you in the right direction.

Which industries do you work with?

My experience includes investment, financial services, construction, technology and consumer brands. I take time to understand your business and audience so the design supports your message and feels right for your industry.

Will I work directly with you?

Yes—you’ll work directly with me on your brief, design direction and feedback. If your project would benefit from an additional specialist, we can discuss that as part of the scope.

Can you redesign an existing presentation?

Absolutely. Send me your current deck and explain what isn’t working. I can improve the layout, visual hierarchy and consistency, or develop a fresh design direction that better reflects your brand.

Can you follow our brand guidelines or existing template?

Yes. I can work within your brand guidelines and existing presentation template, helping your slides feel consistent with your wider communications. If the template itself needs attention, we can include that in the brief.

What do you need to start designing my presentation?

Your content, logo and any brand guidelines are a great starting point. Please also share your audience, presentation purpose and deadline. If you don’t have brand guidelines, your website and existing materials can help guide the design.

Does my content need to be final?

Your content and structure should be as close to final as possible before we start. This helps avoid redesigning slides around changing information. If you need help developing the story first, I can recommend a specialist, or you can prepare it with your internal team.

Can you help with presentation storytelling?

My focus is on presentation design, so your content and story should be in place before we begin. If you need help shaping your message, I can recommend a storytelling specialist, or you can work with your internal team to get it ready.

What does your presentation design process look like?

We start with your goals, audience and brief. I then develop a design direction across a few sample slides for your feedback. Once approved, I apply it to the rest of the presentation before final adjustments and handover.

How long does presentation design take?

A typical project takes around 10 working days, depending on its size and complexity. Your content readiness and feedback schedule also affect timing. Share your deadline when you enquire so I can advise on a realistic schedule.

Can you help with an urgent presentation?

Possibly—it depends on my availability and the work involved. Send your content, slide count and deadline as early as you can, and I’ll let you know what’s achievable.

How much does presentation design cost?

Pricing depends on the slide count, complexity and support you need. Once I’ve reviewed your brief, I’ll provide a quote outlining the scope and deliverables so you know what to expect before we begin.

How can US clients pay?

I accept payment by credit card and ACH transfer, alongside other payment options. We can confirm the most suitable method during the quoting stage.

How do feedback and revisions work?

We review the initial design direction before it’s applied across the deck. For later feedback, one consolidated set of comments from your team helps keep changes clear and efficient. Your quote will outline the revision scope.

Will the finished presentation be editable?

Yes. I deliver your presentation in the agreed format—PowerPoint, Google Slides or Keynote—so your team can make future updates. Any specialist visuals or elements with editing limitations can be discussed during the project.

Can you create a reusable presentation template for our team?

Yes. I create branded templates with reusable layouts that help your team build consistent presentations. We’ll look at the slides you use most often so the template supports your everyday needs.

Do you source or create images for presentations?

Yes. I can source stock imagery or create custom AI-generated visuals where appropriate. Paid image licences are charged separately, while sourcing and image creation time forms part of the project cost.

Can you animate our presentation?

Yes. I use animation and transitions to guide attention, explain ideas and support the speaker’s delivery. Let me know where and how you’ll present so the motion suits the occasion.

Can you support us with ongoing presentation work?

If your team regularly needs presentation support, let’s discuss a retainer or recurring bookings. This helps us plan capacity around your upcoming presentations and deadlines.

How do I get started?

Send me your presentation goals, estimated slide count and deadline through my contact form. If you have an existing deck, share that too. I’ll review what you need and come back with the next steps.
