    Berry Rouge | Pitch Deck Design (PowerPoint)

    The client handed off the raw material for their investor pitch deck in a raw file. Real substance was there, traction numbers, market sizing, five-year financial projections, the fundraising ask, but no story.

    After the kickoff call, I restructured the content into a clear narrative, then defined the visual direction and slide design system so every page followed one consistent language, turning that raw input into a polished pitch deck built to hold an investor’s attention.

    Bluebird | Healthcare Investor Pitch Deck

    Bluebird came to me with an AI-generated first draft. It had all the right information, but every slide used the same title layout, the same body text treatment, the same generic template feel. Nothing distinguished a slide about market size from a slide about the science. For a healthcare longevity company raising a $25M round, that’s a real problem: investors read hundreds of decks, and a deck that looks like every other AI output doesn’t earn a second look.

    My job was to take the same core content and rebuild it into something structured, visually distinct, and genuinely investor-ready.

    Delivered as a fully editable PowerPoint, ready for Bluebird’s team to present directly to investors.
