Dear client,
Iโm a dedicated designer specializing in book cover design and interior layout. I create clean, professional, and visually engaging designs that help authors present their work with confidence. Iโm experienced with major self-publishing platforms and ensure all files meet their technical and formatting requirements.

Working across multiple genres, I focus on clear communication, attention to detail, and delivering high-quality work on time.
I primarily use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign to create unique, customized designs. Iโm client-oriented and enjoy collaborating throughout the creative process to ensure the final result aligns perfectly with your vision.
Please take a look at my portfolio, and feel free to reach out with any questionsโIโd love to help bring your book to life.
Yours truly,
Kedi D.

Iโm Wondabeka Ashenafi (Won), an Executive Presentation Consultant and Co-Owner of ProCreativ Solutions. We partner with established enterprise and marketing teams to transform complex ideas into strategic visual communications that drive clarity, alignment, and business results.
Iโm an executive presentation designer and pitch deck designer by craft โ and a graphic designer, brand designer, and creative consultant by background โ supporting everything from PowerPoint and Google Slides decks to brand identity, logo design, and UX/UI.
While executive presentations and business storytelling are at the core of what we do, our work also extends across brand identity, marketing collateral, digital experiences, and AI-enabled design systems that help organizations communicate and create more consistently at scale.
Weโve led creative strategy and design for Fortune 500 companies, growth-stage organizations, and established enterprise teams across executive communications, major industry events, product launches, sales initiatives, internal strategy, investor-facing presentations, and emerging AI-driven creative workflows.
Our core services include:
โช๏ธ Executive and board presentations
โช๏ธ Investor and fundraising pitch decks
โช๏ธ Business storytelling and presentation strategy
โช๏ธ Brand identity and visual systems
โช๏ธ Marketing and sales collateral
โช๏ธ Annual reports and white papers
โช๏ธ Conference and event materials
โช๏ธ Website design and digital experiences
โช๏ธ Strategic playbooks and internal communications
โช๏ธAI-enabled brand systems and creative workflows
Our AI work goes beyond using generative tools to produce faster outputs. We help organizations structure their brand strategy, voice, messaging, visual standards, components, templates, and approved assets into systems that can be understood and used by both internal teams and AI agents.
This can include developing agent-ready brand guidelines, reusable design components, structured messaging frameworks, creative guardrails, tokenized visual systems, prompt architecture, and workflow documentation that make it easier to produce on-brand materials without sacrificing quality or consistency.
Every engagement begins with understanding the business objective rather than simply executing a creative request. We work closely with stakeholders to organize complex information, strengthen messaging, establish the right creative direction, and build design systems that communicate with clarity and purpose.
Whether supporting an executive presentation, corporate rebrand, product launch, large-scale marketing campaign, or AI-enabled design initiative, our goal remains the same: helping organizations communicate ideas in a way that builds confidence, inspires action, and creates lasting value.
We are best suited for established enterprise and marketing teams looking for a trusted creative partner that understands strategy just as well as execution. Our clients rely on us to navigate complex projects, collaborate across departments, maintain brand consistency, and deliver polished creative work when the stakes are high.
If your next initiative requires more than great design and calls for thoughtful strategy, compelling storytelling, scalable creative systems, or deeper integration between brand and AI, weโd be glad to learn more.
