PROJECT SELECTION 🔽
Each case study demonstrates a different aspect of my approach — from strategic messaging and content development to visual storytelling and investor-ready polish.
🌿 Bringing Vision to Life for a Sustainable Smart Homes Brand
Designing a clear, investor-ready pitch deck to fund the future of eco-living.
📌 Introduction & Summary
As demand grows for homes that are both environmentally responsible and tech-enabled, one real estate start-up sought to capture this moment with a pioneering concept: a new standard of sustainable smart living. The project needed a compelling investment deck that would communicate its vision and viability to potential investors.
I was brought in to lead the content design and visual direction of the pitch deck, creating a strategic and sophisticated presentation that would help secure funding for the project’s next development phase.
💬 Client Brief & Needs
The client was preparing for their early investor roadshow and needed a deck that was both commercially credible and emotionally persuasive. The key needs were:
Crafting a clear investment story around eco-conscious living, smart home tech, and market readiness
Structuring the content to highlight the value proposition, business model, and development pipeline
Designing a visually polished and clean layout that could appeal to both real estate investors and VC firms
🔍 Approach & Scope
The scope included full end-to-end development of the deck:
Structuring the narrative flow, including strategic placement of business case, product features, and financial projections
Creating a minimalist and contemporary visual identity aligned with sustainability values
Designing custom graphics, iconography, and charts to illustrate the client’s product and market
Advising on investor expectations to ensure clarity, confidence, and credibility throughout
Collaboration was fully remote and agile: we iterated quickly on drafts to meet tight deadlines and align the visual tone with the brand’s core mission.
🎨 Design Process & Final Result
The final deck strikes a balance between clean design and compelling storytelling. Highlights include:
A modular slide structure that allows for versioning and customization by audience
Rich visuals of architectural renders and smart features, subtly integrated with a soft color palette inspired by nature
Clear slides covering market opportunity, business roadmap, sustainability credentials, and projected returns
The resulting deck is now a core tool in the client’s investor outreach — helping them initiate conversations with early-stage funds, angel investors, and climate-conscious capital sources.

🧩 The Brief
The client needed a complete redesign of their investor pitch deck ahead of a new fund launch. The goal: clearly communicate strategy, fund structure, and track record — with polished, compelling visuals that resonate with LPs and co-investors.
🛠️ The Work
I led the full end-to-end design: from structuring content and narrative flow to designing charts, investment visuals, and a clean, minimalist layout. The result was a sleek, professional deck used in high-stakes investor meetings and roadshows.
