I am a presentation designer with 17 years experience in the industry. I specialize in Microsoft PowerPoint on both the Mac and PC.

Many of my clients and associates are shocked that PowerPoint is used for large-scale, highly-animated productions. I just finished creating presentations for the New York pitch to the 2012 Olympic Committee - all created in Microsoft PowerPoint! I have many examples and would be happy to demonstrate my portfolio to potential clients. I should mention that I also create sell books in PowerPoint. Sell book examples in my portfolio include Lancome Paris, Kenneth Cole Productions, Simon & Schuster and many, many others.

My presentations are a combination of design and multimedia, meaning that I employ custom design techniques in PowerPoint to achieve the finest quality of visual communication in a presentation. I make every effort to create a format that is consistent, clean and uncluttered. All of the images used are properly sized and enhanced in Adobe Photoshop, logos and typography are corrected and reworked in Adobe Illustrator. Charts, graphs and diagrams are created and custom-designed in Microsoft Graph. When appropriate, input of animation, transitions, timings, audio, and video are the final elements in the assembly. My goal is for the final production to be a positive and eloquent reflection of the speaker and the business represented.

I telecommute my services to clients throughout the country and also travel with graphic design teams to work on large-scale productions. For clients in the New York tri-state area, we can arrange to meet and review your current templates and presentations.

Please feel welcome to e-mail me at denise.shea@thepresentationstudio.com to request a CD containing presentation loaded with portfolio examples. Thank you for your interest in my skills.

I am creating my blog hoping to increase my business contacts. I have been working independently for about four years. I was working with the same clients, which was fine, but you will notice that my portfolio is filled with lots of cosmetics and fragrance company examples. I want to diversify my business, work with random types of businesses and hopefully get involved in more large-scale productions.
