Hi, I'm Kinjal. As you'd expect from a Copywriter, I've written lots of different things - billboards, radio scripts, social posts, web copy, even a fledgling novel. I love the process - idea generation is my forte, as evinced by winning M&C Saatchi's inaugural Open House and coming second in the Print Category at the Cannes Young Lions Kenya competition. But so is achieving tangible results with my copy. I am proud to have contributed to measurable increases in awareness for the wide range of brands I've worked with. Currently, I'm working freelance and writing social copy for a wide range of brands, helping them attract new audiences.

I help startups, founders, and businesses turn rough ideas into clean, strategic presentations that are easy to understand and hard to ignore. From investor pitch decks to sales presentations and sponsorship decks, I design presentations that communicate clearly and look professional. I'm Margaret; a pitch deck and presentation designer with 10+ years of experience helping founders, executives, and brand teams craft decks that get results. Investor presentations. Board reports. Sales decks. Brand storytelling. If it lives in PowerPoint or Google Slides, I make it work. Why me? Most designers make things pretty. I make things persuasive. My background in finance and business strategy means I approach every deck like a business case, structure first, design second. The narrative has to hold up before the visuals go on. That's what separates a deck that raises money from one that just looks good. I've designed 80+ decks for SaaS startups, fintech companies, NGOs, and growth-stage brands across the US, UK, UAE, and beyond. What I deliver: ➤ Pitch decks for seed, Series A, and growth-stage fundraising ➤ Board decks and executive presentations ➤ Sales and brand storytelling decks ➤ PowerPoint and Google Slides design If you're preparing for a fundraise, a board meeting, or a high-stakes presentation — I'd love to help you walk in ready. 📩 Send me your brief.
