Why most presentations fail (and how to fix them)
Most decks don’t fail because of design.
They fail because of structure.
Common issues I see:
• no narrative flow
• slides overloaded with text
• unclear hierarchy
• data without insight
My approach focuses on:
→ story first
→ structure second
→ design last
Clear slides → faster decisions.
Very accurate insight 👌
Structural clarity often matters far more than visual polish in decision-driven assets like decks.
Strong breakdown.

Documentary Pitch Deck & Visual Treatment
Project Overview
The goal was to create a compelling visual narrative that would secure funding and production partnerships by clearly articulating the film's mission, visual style, and emotional core.
The Challenge
Documentary pitches often deal with dense information and heavy themes. The challenge was to organize complex research, character bios, and production timelines into a deck that felt cinematic rather than corporate. It needed to move the audience emotionally while proving the project's feasibility.
Strong narrative framing. A lot of decks look good visually but fail to build emotional momentum — this feels structured to persuade, not just present.
