Presentation Exercise #2
This slide comes from a real startup pitch deck.
The original slide wasn't wrong.
It was just asking the audience to process too much at once.
So I redesigned it around one idea:
Network-driven transactions grew 5× in 16 months.
Everything else became supporting evidence instead of competing for attention.
When I redesign pitch decks, I usually ask:
• What's the one sentence people should remember?
• Which numbers deserve immediate attention?
• What can be simplified without losing meaning?
The goal isn't to make slides prettier.
It's to make decisions easier.
What's the first thing you'd improve on the original slide?

Wrapping up a video we're genuinely proud of 🎉
A 45s launch video for a technical audience in the SaaS + energy sector.
This brief was simple. Literally the brief was "keep it simple our audience is stylistically conservative" but this was harder to execute than you might imagine.
We needed to lead with the pain of legacy software, land on a modern experience, and let an AI feature carry the story without ever feeling like a sales pitch.
Two rounds of revision later, the video went from too bold and flashy to something intriguing and understated.
Case study is up now, including the storyboard, an early animation + sound test, and a breakdown of how the video is structured.
