    In my interaction design practice, I have learned that collaboration involves balancing diverse perspectives of teams, clients, users, and even the technology itself to a single goal. The experiences I have designed span a range of projects across different media channels, devices, and scenarios, from inviting passersby to design a Nike shoe in real time on a 23-story Times Square billboard to updating Lego's virtual building software interface; from redesigning Sesame Workshop's math games for preschoolers to exploring applications for an interactive fabric developed by Google. My design approach emphasizes storytelling and interface, drawing on my art practice in literature and interactive performance. A commitment to integrating technological and creative practice led me to a part-time teaching position at Parsons' Design and Technology MFA program, and NYU's Integrated Design and Media master's program.

    Do you have an important presentation that you need help with? Or are you simply trying to learn to create and deliver presentations effectively? I have created, delivered, and helped clients creating and delivering the following types of presentations: - product or business pitch - idea pitch to executives to get their buy in - roadmap presentation for executives - project kickoff for stakeholders - project update for executives or sponsors - problem framing for problem solving - research summary - product updates for user conferences - and many more I'm an outgoing extrovert that is passionate in visual storytelling and creating alignment. I spent 20 years building digital products, services, and workflows for various industries and organization sizes and types, from startups, enterprises, to non-profits. I find that alignment is a common challenge and many people with great ideas struggle to communicate their ideas and therefore they fail to drive action or create change. As a design thinker, I put empathy front and center in everything I do. Creating a great presentation means understanding your audience, their motivation and aspirations, and what makes them tick. I can help you throughout this entire process of discovering the right angle and tone for each of your target audiences. Then I can help you put together a powerful and engaging presentation that will capture your audience's attention, drive action and create change. The most common mistake I find in ineffective presentations is to fill your slides with text as if it's a paper, causing the audience to read instead of listening to you, and failing to capture their attention. In great presentations, less is more. I can help you decide what minimal content to include in your slides, how to present it for the full impact, and how you should talk about it. My presentation style can be summarized as minimalistic, catchy, and engaging. Not only I can create the deck for you, I can also help you prepare to deliver it. My working style is collaborative and iterative. We will have regular communication and create many revisions before we have the final product. Services: - Discovery to understand your presentation needs - Creating presentation - Creating presentation templates - Delivering presentation - Coaching & training
