User experience is the secret to a presentation that keeps your audience engaged

Solving pain points

I identify friction points that could lose your audience: e.g. information overload, unclear hierarchy, or disjointed narratives.

I design for cohesion and purpose.
That means making sure your presentation makes sense holistically: visuals, tone of voice, messaging and making sure each slide contributes to the overall goal and vision.

Designing with intention

Content Structure

  • the desired goal or outcome (and how we engineer that throughout the entire slide deck)

  • context (how much your audience knows, where is the presentation? etc)

  • content needs (how do we communicate data? who will this be circulated to? etc)

Give your audience the right content at the right time and in the way they want.

I look at:

Slide breakdown example

Header

  • A slide header needs to immediately give value to the reader.

  • It needs to summarise what’s on the slide in a meaningful way.

Body copy

  • This copy explains and summarises the data

  • Keep this as ‘need to know’ content - everything else can be explained as a voiceover and/or in the appendix

  • Dot points are best for readability

Design

  • Prioritise accessibility:
    Colour contrast, font size and content hierarchy for anyone to read.

  • Design for it to be circulated:
    Keep in mind - will this make sense to someone who wasn’t in the presentation?

My work journey is as varied as my Soundcloud library; from advertising agencies to museums, for household names to local start ups, in places like Bali and Vietnam, in-office and remote.
