• Strong portfolio demonstrating sophisticated presentation design, including complex business or executive presentations personally designed.
• Advanced, hands‑on proficiency in Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides, including custom layouts, charts, graphics, templates, formatting and presentation production.
• Proficiency with Google Workspace, including Google Slides, Google Sheets, Google Drive and related collaboration workflows.
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator and Photoshop.
