Presentation designer turning complex data into winning pitch visuals.
What I'm looking for
I’m a presentation designer with 15+ years of design and digital experience, now focused exclusively on high-impact presentations that win pitches and close deals. MBA-trained, I turn complex business data into clear, persuasive visual stories—built to help founders and C-suite teams move fast and land the next step.
Since 2011, I’ve delivered investor & pitch decks, sales & C-suite presentations, and reusable on-brand template systems using PowerPoint and Google Slides. In my current role as Presentation Design Lead (2023–Present), I lead presentation design across client accounts, build data-driven dashboards and Excel-linked slides, and set visual standards that improve quality across deliverables.
I’m also trusted internationally, with Upwork Top Rated performance—160+ projects and 1,500+ hours—plus Upwork Presentation Skills Certified. Previously, I founded and managed Syncwall —Digital Studio in Lahore (2011–2018), and I delivered a 2-year Adobe Flash multimedia course for a US client, which strengthened my ability to communicate clearly through motion and interactive storytelling.
