Summary of project	Designer on presentations… populating existing templates, creating new templates from scratch for keynote, powerpoint, indesign and word submitting or projected creative proposals.

Also and this falls into the art direction section: designer on concept renderings on campaigns, picking stock video, sitting at the table in brainstorms
Outcome	I’m more than just look n feels. I’ve designed new business winning creative proposals. The usual ask of me in this role is either the agency is going in dressed as themselves or based the client’s past, present or future design guidelines.
