The Brief

Candi reached out ahead of her talk at Figma’s annual conference, Config, with one clear mission: to make her slides sing. She wanted a deck that not only looked the part alongside other leading voices in design, but also reflected her clarity, warmth, and authority. Something purposeful, polished, and unmistakably her.

“Lauren was such a fabulous partner in designing compelling and beautiful slides for a large conference I presented at.

Would I work with Lauren again? In a heartbeat and I’d recommend her ten times over.”

The Approach

Candi’s keynote, Word to the Words, was bold, bright, and packed with personality — just like her. Her talk challenged the tired split between content and design, making a strong case for bringing words into the design process from the start. We created a presentation that matched her energy: bold layouts, clear and expressive typography, and playful visual moments that let her message shine.

The Results

The final deck gave Candi the stage she deserved — bold, expressive, and unforgettable. Her slides didn’t just support her message, they amplified it, making every insight hit harder and every moment more memorable. The talk stood out at Config 2023, sparking laughs, nods, and plenty of food for thought.

(And yes, you can catch the full thing on YouTube — highly recommend.)

“Lauren was able to quickly make tweaks as I needed to update the slides and, even in tight timelines, handled every request with a smile and cool head under pressure. The communication and whole process couldn’t have been better.

She nailed the brief and the timeline and I had so many compliments.”
