The Brief
Ricardo approached me ahead of his talk at DesignX conference with a clear goal: no more cobbled-together slides. He needed a deck that looked as sharp and professional as the speakers sharing the stage with him — something that would amplify his message and support his authority in a way that felt right to him.

“Receiving an email from you always makes my day. I love the icons and illustrations! The deck is just top notch, you have given me the confidence to stand on stage proudly. Thank you!!”
The Approach
Ricardo’s talk challenges the idea that “quality” belongs solely to design and “performance” solely to engineering. Together, we built a refined, well-structured presentation that made his key ideas land clearly and confidently. Drawing on his experience at Shopify and Dropbox, Ricardo’s message needed a framework to let the content shine — with strong layouts, typographic clarity, and subtle visual cues.
The Results
The final slides helped Ricardo show up as the expert he is. The deck not only matched the quality of his insights but made them even more impactful, setting him apart at DesignX and helping drive his point home with clarity and confidence.
(You can even catch the full talk on YouTube — it’s well worth a watch.)
