Share Our Strength

I redesigned Share Our Strength's annual stakeholder presentation on a tight deadline. The previous year's deck was functional but flat. The numbers were there, but they weren't landing. For a nonprofit where stakeholder presentations directly influence funding decisions, that's a real problem.

The redesign introduced motion, better data visualization, and a consistent visual language across every slide. I built the animations in After Effects and translated them into a presentation format that the team could actually use and update. The data viz was the biggest improvement. Instead of static charts, I created graphics that build progressively, letting the presenter control the reveal and keep the audience focused on one number at a time.

The visual language I established tied everything together. Colors, type hierarchy, iconography, and transition styles all followed a system. That consistency makes the difference between a deck that feels professional and one that feels like a collection of individual slides. It also meant the organization could extend the system for future presentations without starting from scratch.

Stakeholder presentations are high-stakes. The people in that room decide whether programs get funded, expanded, or cut. Making the org's impact numbers actually land with the audience wasn't just a design exercise. It was about giving their work the presentation it deserved.
