Ranked among the 𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝟑% of freelancers on Upwork, with 𝟏𝟓𝟎𝟎+ 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟏𝟎𝟎+ 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝, I’ve helped businesses like Seenic io, The Bath House Group, Daniel Associates, Capilla, BIP Capital, and many growing startups turn their ideas into clear, polished, high-impact presentations. Most audiences make a judgment quickly. They do not have time to decode a messy story, crowded slides, or unclear visuals. If the message is not clear, the opportunity can lose momentum before the real conversation even starts. That’s the gap I help close. I turn complex ideas into visuals your audience can understand, trust, and act on. It isn't just about making something look pretty; it's about making your message work for you. My visual work also extends into illustration and brand design, where the goal is not just to create something attractive, but something that feels clear, memorable, and useful. From logos and custom illustrations to one-pagers, packaging, and brand assets, I design visuals that help an idea feel more complete. 𝐈 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 Presentations & Business Communication Investor Pitch Decks Sales Presentations Fundraising Decks Financial Presentations Business Reports Data Visualisation & Infographics Custom Presentation Templates 𝐈𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 & 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 Logo Design Rebranding Brand Identity Brand Guidelines One-Pagers Flyer/Brochures Marketing Collateral Brand Assets Packaging Design Custom Illustration Character Illustration 2D Illustration 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 I don’t treat a deck, presentation, or brand asset as “just design.” I look at what it needs to achieve, who needs to understand it, and what impression it should leave. That same approach has helped me create pitch decks that supported $20M+ raised across Seed and Series A conversations, along with presentations, trade show graphics, brand assets, and client-facing visuals that helped businesses build engagement and drive more business. What clients value most is that the work feels considered, useful, and built with care, not rushed or generic. 𝐀 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: “ Amir had the clearest response to the original job request, and was very professional in his approach to the contract. During the process he quickly made several revisions, and his attention to detail and story was great “ "I can't say enough about Amir's work. He was creative and always nailed a great graphic with minimal input. He has designed our website when all I said was "create an About page" - i.e. he researched content and created great graphics without needing much of my time. Amir has also created several brochures and other graphics for trade shows and advertising, always quickly and with minimal input. I recommend him without reservations." "The quality of Amir's work is extremely strong and delivered within the timeframes processed. Amir has helped our business tremendously, and I would recommend him wholeheartedly." "Great design work and presentation skills - he was able to support effectively in a high quality presentation for various projects. Highly recommended and will work with him again." "Amir was great to work with; he produced very high-quality work in a compressed time schedule. Would definitely work with him again!" Amir is hands down the best Upwork freelancer I've worked with! He took my vision and turned it into reality so effortlessly. He fine-tuned everything exactly how I wanted. The job was completed Quickly ON TIME! And the Result Was Absolutely Outstanding! I’d Highly Recommend him That same care is what I’ll bring to your project. You might have a full brief, a half-built deck, brand references, loose notes, a sketch, or just the feeling that the current version is not where it needs to be yet. Send me a message, share what you have, and I’ll take a look. Let’s build from there. Best, Amir.
