Source: https://ricardoportfolio.xyz/presentations Language: en --- Presentation design · Information design · Workflow # I turn dense information into slides people can act on. Presentation design is my current work: high-volume, deadline-driven decks for a confidential private-equity client across Europe and New York. I structure information, coordinate requests and rebuild slides under pressure. PowerPoint · think-cell · SharePoint · workflow coordination CONFIDENTIAL CLIENT 20–30 Requests / week EU + NY Workstreams 4 Person team EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Three things that matter - 01Revenue mix changed - 02Margin pressure remains - 03One action is time-critical BRIDGE Explain the movement, not just the number. REQUEST → STRUCTURE → DESIGN → QA Clarity before polish. 01 — Editing / clarity ## Cleaner is useless if the message is still buried. The real job is deciding what the audience needs to understand first, what can disappear, and which visual form makes the point fastest. BEFORE Q3 update — everything at once AFTER One decision. Three reasons. 01 Signal 02 Structure 03 Action Everything else moves to appendix. The visual improvement is the side effect. The information architecture is the work. 02 — The problems ## Different slide. Same discipline. TIMELINES Multiple workstreams, dependencies and dates without turning the slide into a spreadsheet. DATA STORIES Charts that show the movement, gaps and drivers that actually matter. OPERATING MODELS Processes, responsibilities and inter-team handoffs structured at a glance. 04 EXECUTIVE SUMMARIES Compress twenty pages into one slide that makes the decision obvious. 03 — Under pressure ## The process has to survive the busy days. - 01INTAKEClarify the ask, audience, deadline and source material. - 02TRIAGEPrioritise by deadline, complexity and downstream impact. - 03STRUCTUREDecide the story before touching layout. - 04BUILD + QADesign, check numbers, alignment and consistency. - 05HANDOFFDeliver clean files with context the next person can use. PowerPoint · think-cell · SharePoint · Figma · Adobe CC 04 — Beyond slides ## Presentation work made me a stricter designer everywhere else. It trained me to value hierarchy, precision and speed — the same things I rely on in product, brand and front-end work. Clear thinking, visible. 05 — The decks ## Six decks you can open right now. The client work is confidential, so these are the presentations I can show: concept and self-directed projects built with the same structure-first process.
