my speciality. I knew their intelligent visuals packed a powerful commercial punch – yet no one was taking the time to do them well. Every part of me believed presentations were a powerful communication tool for companies of all shapes and sizes. So when I had my first child – filled with the knowledge that my life was already on the brink of profound change – I seized the momentum to take my passion for presentations even further. In 2005, I launched Presentation Studio from my kitchen bench. The enquiries soon started to roll in and my beliefs were confirmed. Companies large and small wanted this visual expertise – they knew its return on investment was significant. I focussed 100% on designing presentations, designing with one hand and making an avocado sandwich for my daughter with the other, determined not to miss a moment of this golden opportunity. I always had the sense that, in creating these presentations, I had found a niche and I was willing to give it everything I had to make it a success. THE MINDS THAT MAKE US Fast-forward a decade and that same passion now courses through the curious minds of our team – the lifeblood of Presentation Studio. It’s a diverse collective, from all corners of the world, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. I like to think of us like a kaleidoscope: when our colours unite, things shift to create a very unique vision. GLOSS JULY 2015 17
