Founder

Hi, I’m Vashte.

And my mission is to rid the world of bad PowerPoint slides.

I started Slidedesignr over a decade ago to help smart, analytical Insights Pros bring their insights and ideas to life so they can elevate their work & reputation with clients, audiences, and internal leadership.

My background is in Consumer Insights, Fine Art, and Mechanical Engineering (and knitting, tattoo art, bartending, and playing bass in a well-known funk band, but that’s another story).

After developing thousands of PowerPoint slides, infographics, one pagers, social media graphics, and all the rest for everyone from small shops, to full-service agencies, to the Fortune 500, I found that my clients were having trouble turning their insights and ideas into visuals their clients could easily understand.

They were wasting hours everyday explaining to designers how to interpret their insights and key themes.

They were trying hard to learn graphic design and “storytelling” — on top of all the other hats they already wear! — but weren’t making the progress they wanted to make.

And they were working late nights under tight deadlines that didn’t allow them to do their best work.

So I’m here to provide solutions to those problems to help Insights Pros make an Impact—on their clients, on their businesses, and on themselves.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

It’s A Simple Process.

01

Conversation

Every project starts with a deep dive into understanding your audience, goals, and business objectives.

Explain your needs during a brief conversation with me. This vital step informs the way we approach visuals and lays the foundation for a clear, aligned, and successful project that aligns with your expertise and authority, while giving your audience tons of value.

02

Content Creation

I’ll create a draft content document for you to approve. Using my proven process, I’ll elevate the key insights we need our audience to grok (quickly and deeply understand, remember, make decisions on, be smarter about…).

And, your project is going to be backed by a time- and cost-efficient process that functions seamlessly, gives you access, and leaves nothing falling through the cracks.

03

Design

It all comes together with gorgeous design that creates the big picture–so your audience can literally see what you’re saying.

After we align on the content, I’ll create the strong visuals Slidedesignr is known for to provide clarity, illustrate, visually support and elevate the narrative.

FAQs

Do you outsource PowerPoint design to freelance designers?2025-04-08T11:21:00-05:00

Unlike most PowerPoint slide design services, Slidedesignr does not hire or outsource to unknown “Upwork”- or “Fiverr”-style freelance designers, who often, work at too low a level of quality, or simply minimally update your slides using cheap, low-quality templates. Slidedesignr’s hiring process vets knowledgable, experienced PowerPoint designers with a known track record for strategic thinking, integrity, and great work who we work closely with to ensure Slidedesignr’s proven process and high quality standards are upheld.

What do you need from me?2024-08-22T12:01:17-05:00

We’ll give you clear guidelines on what’s needed from you and when, typically supporting data, images, quotes, and other info. You’ll never be asked to create PowerPoint slides during the course of your project.

How long does it take to get my finished design?2024-08-22T13:16:52-05:00

We’ll get started once we onboard you through our quick administrative process. We’ll work backwards from your deadline to build out a calendar with milestones and check-in dates so you have plenty of opportunities to see slides in progress, discuss, and provide feedback. As long as revision cycles are maintained, you’ll get the final 24-48 hours before you need to present or hit send to your client.

How will I get drafts?2024-08-22T13:17:31-05:00

Drafts are shared via Dropbox in PDF format watermarked DRAFT.

Will PowerPoint slides be editable?2024-08-22T13:18:55-05:00

Yup! Fully editable, unless you’ve requested a project on the PDF Only pricing tier, or it’s a project with complex animation. We’ll send or upload the final deliverable to you with all custom shapes, graphics, charts, and graphs with linked data files.

What happens after I get my final design?2024-08-22T13:19:40-05:00

You’ll get a full 2 weeks of support after final delivery for anything else you might need adjusted, and for any questions you or your client might have.

What program do you design slides in?2024-08-22T13:20:32-05:00

Slides are designed in PowerPoint, on Office 365.

Are there any refunds?2024-09-06T12:27:31-05:00

Due to the quality of Slidedesignr’s work and the digital nature of our products and services, we do not offer any refunds or returns for any reason. However, I am committed to helping you bring your ideas and insights to life so you can spend less time in PowerPoint while getting more impressive results. I stake my reputation on the quality of my work; if you’re unhappy for any reason, let’s talk about how we can make it right on your next similarly-sized project.
