Sharing a deck design for ChatAndBuild. AI solutions were in the spotlight this year — and at Heed Collective, we’ve been working with teams building in this space.
Good data visualization always starts with understanding the data first — only then can the visuals truly support the story.

So excited to see Creative Intelligence 2026 by @Contra Labs (https://contra.com/company/contra_labs_a39b77) out in the world!
At @Heed Collective , we had the pleasure of designing both the website and the report. We’re incredibly grateful for this collaboration!
Our creative exploration started with a question:
What does Creative Intelligence mean today?
We believe it lives at the intersection of creativity and analysis, imagination and insight.
We translated this into a visual story that begins in space — vast, dreamy, full of possibility — and gradually moves closer to Earth, grounding imagination in something tangible and human.
Huge congrats to the whole team, @Erin Horner (https://contra.com/erin), @Ben Huffman (https://contra.com/ben), @Mark Vassilevskiy (https://contra.com/mark_vassilevskiy), @Alex Karpodinis (https://contra.com/alexk), @Stacy · Heed Collective (https://contra.com/existacial), @Heed Collective (https://contra.com/anna_heedcollective), and the entire @Contra Labs (https://contra.com/company/contra_labs_a39b77) team 👏

Out of 4,000+ presentations my team has made, only a handful were for hotels, and even fewer were templates.
This one was for The Wolseley Hotels, the new luxury brand from Minor Hotels, a group with 640+ hotels and resorts in 59 countries.
Have you ever designed for hospitality?
I have seen founders lose an investor's attention the exact second their financial slide appears.
When I engineered this specific layout, I had one single goal.
Absolute control over the reader's focus.
The most common mistake founders make is treating a financial slide like a dumping ground for raw Excel charts.
They throw every possible data point onto the canvas and hope the investor will somehow extract the right story.
That never happens.
When I designed the architecture for this financial slide, my primary task was to completely remove cognitive friction.
I intentionally positioned the macro trend on the left side of the canvas.
Then I built a rigid green container on the right specifically for the 2026 YTD metrics and paired it with a tight context block.
This reading pattern is strictly engineered.
The investor absorbs the big picture first.
Then their eyes are instantly pulled to the main result locked inside the green box.
Only after they register that hard traction do they read the explanation of why those numbers matter.
Professional commercial design is never about making data look pretty.
It is about turning dry numbers into a highly controlled business narrative.
Stop letting chaotic charts ruin your pitch.
If you want your financial slides to be absolutely flawless and command investor attention, send me a message 📩
Your pitch deck is not a Wikipedia page.
Stop writing it like one.
If you look at the top version, you are looking at the exact reason why most investors stop paying attention after three minutes. The founder fell into the classic trap of squeezing four entirely different concepts onto a single canvas.
Between the colored blocks and scattered data points, they created a massive cognitive load for the reader.
The hard truth is that the majority of that text is just corporate noise.
Phrases like "We are a leading provider" carry zero commercial weight during a pitch.
Investors do not fund marketing copy.
We took a completely different approach for the bottom version by applying the principle of Occam's razor.
We ruthlessly killed 70% of the text.
We stripped away the colored boxes, the meaningless bullet points, and the self congratulatory noise. What remains is exactly what the investor actually needs to see to make a quick decision.
We anchored the layout with a single powerful statement of purpose.
Then we followed it with a perfectly clean table exposing the hard metrics.
4 million contracted units.
87% operator retention rate.
When numbers like that are visually isolated, they speak loud enough to defend your valuation on their own.
Professional commercial design is never about adding more elements to a presentation.
It is the disciplined removal of information.
Keep cutting until nothing but the absolute essence of your business remains.

Beautiful pitch deck has never raised a single dollar.
Crystal clear financial narrative has.
Investors do not fund aesthetics.
They fund math they can understand in three seconds.
Look at the slide architectures that actually secure 40 million dollar rounds.
You will never find a wall of text.
I recently engineered the commercial presentation for a neobanking startup named Vaulta.
Instead of writing long paragraphs about their growth, we utilized a Figma-first approach to build a strict modular bento architecture.
We isolated their core mechanics and reward points into rigid visual containers.
Customer acquisition cost.
Lifetime value.
Monthly recurring revenue.
The difference between graphic design and commercial architecture is absolute control.
Architecture forces the investor's gaze straight to the most critical numbers.
It leaves zero room for ambiguity.
If your unit economics are buried in a paragraph, your valuation is already dropping.
Stop decorating your data.
Start isolating it.
Send me a message when you are ready to build a pitch deck that commands attention.
😩we're all tired of empty phrases
we all want to be heard
🤝so, how do you build true loyalty?
🙌start a one-to-one conversation
and personalised presentations can help with this
these are not boring slides; they are a short, human way of saying, 'I hear your pain. here's (https://www.figma.com/proto/Wuxc3YrHrrTIdK7D40Oc6U/prz---okaiukov?page-id=465%3A10&node-id=465-14&viewport=217%2C451%2C0.04&t=PlnBh19vNl9kW9uk-1&scaling=contain&content-scaling=fixed)the solution for you.'
🏃♂️➡️and yes, it takes effort
but in a world where everyone is chasing automation, genuine attention is the most valuable currency
it builds trust, turning one-time buyers into loyal customers.
