From Poster Boards to Pitch Deck Design ⚡️

We’ve all seen that deck, the one that looks like it time-traveled straight from the 90s. Yikes, right?

It’s not that I’m obsessed with PowerPoint (I live and breathe Adobe). What I am obsessed with is visual storytelling, bringing ideas to life through color, hierarchy, graphics, and layouts that are actually enjoyable to look at and easy to understand.

There’s nothing worse than being forced to stare at a slide crammed with heavy copy, random visuals, and zero structure. When information isn’t organized visually, it becomes harder to follow, harder to remember, and harder to sell.

That’s where I come in.

I thrive at visual organization, not just as a skill, but because my brain genuinely requires it to process information. I design slides the way people naturally think: clean, intentional, and paced so the message lands without effort. And honestly, this didn’t start in PowerPoint.

I was the kid who loved school presentation projects, especially the ones with folding display boards. I’d add custom font printouts, visuals, and all the little embellishments that made people stop and look.

I spent my childhood designing cards in The Print Shop, one of those early desktop design programs from the late 90s. My unofficial brand name was Hillmark, holiday cards for friends and family before I even knew what branding was. I was also the go-to person for signage of any kind: bake sales, garage sales, birthday parties — if it needed to look good in Sharpie, it somehow ended up in my hands.

Looking back, it makes perfect sense.

I’ve always been wired to organize information visually — to turn ideas into something clear, structured, and engaging. Pitch deck design is just the grown-up version of what I’ve been doing my entire life: helping people tell a story visually in a way that actually lands.

My background in brand design naturally led me to presentation design. I love building cohesive visual systems that carry across a deck, from slides to infographics to charts, so every page feels distinct, but still works together as one clear, confident story. Your ideas have evolved since the 90s. Your slides should too. ⚡️ Hill
