The Challenge

A seasoned Director of Food Services at a major hospital was selected to speak at a national healthcare conference on the topic “How to Report to Your Boss.”

While the director had extensive knowledge in hospital operations, food service management, and executive communication, he had no experience creating PowerPoint presentations. He came prepared with well-developed content, but his draft slides were poorly formatted, visually overwhelming, and lacked cohesion.

With no time to learn PowerPoint design from scratch—and with the pressure of representing his hospital on a national stage—he reached out for professional help.

The Solution

I took the rough draft file and transformed it into a visually engaging, on-brand presentation that clearly communicated his message. Here’s how:

• Slide Structure Overhaul: I reorganized the slide flow for clarity, ensuring each point built logically and smoothly into the next.

• Visual Design: I applied clean, modern slide layouts that reflected a professional tone suitable for a national healthcare audience.

• Custom Graphics & Icons: Instead of generic clip art, I used custom visuals to reinforce key ideas and make the data more digestible.

• Consistency & Branding: Fonts, colors, and spacing were standardized to align with the hospital’s brand while maintaining legibility and visual appeal.

• Speaker Support: I designed slides that worked as visual aids, not crutches—enhancing the speaker’s authority and keeping the audience engaged.
