My first project paid $30 to design 15 PPT slides for a client in China.
That was four years ago...
Back then,
I was a newbie designer with limited experience in design & presentation design.
My English was limited, too. I was simply looking for an opportunity to freelance, learn through real projects, and do what I loved.
Today, I earn many times more than I did from that first one. But more than the money, I'm proud of how much I've grown since then.
I've gone from a fresher designer to a pitch deck expert and presentation designer, helping startups and founders turn complex ideas into clear, compelling, investor-ready narratives.
Over the past four years, I've had the chance to:
Work with 100+ founders and startups worldwide
Deliver 150+ pitch decks
$50M+ raised by clients
100+ successful projects on Upwork
Looking back, it has been a long journey — a journey from “No” to “Yes.”
It was never easy...
I'm truly grateful to all the clients who trusted me and gave me an opportunity over the past four years.
This is just the beginning…

Real estate decks are some of my favourite to design. The product already looks good on camera, so the photos carry half the story. The tricky half is the numbers: rental yields and prices per listing have to sit next to a glossy Dubai skyline without killing the mood.
For Elevate Realty I made the numbers visual too. Instead of a plain "93% client satisfaction", the slide shows 100 small figures with 7 of them left grey. Your eye finds the grey ones before it reads the number.
Do you like working with real estate clients?
Love the 93 percent visual, 100 small figures with 7 left grey makes the number land in a way a plain stat never does. Real estate clients definitely respond to that kind of clarity.
We've reached our first $5K on Contra!
A small milestone, but a meaningful one for our studio. Grateful to all the clients who've trusted us with their projects and to @Contra HQ for the opportunities to connect and collaborate.
Here's to more creative projects and collaborations ahead!
Congrats to the studio✨
