I'm on a mission to end #DeathByPowerpoint, so talks & lectures are more accessible and inclusive.
Switched from my research career to help academics & researchers create engaging presentations 🦄✨

A few people have told me they don't like using #PowerPoint because it's boring.
👉 That's why UX & design is so important, btw 👈
Canva may be more fun to use (not disputing that), but it has major limits re: accessibility.
Plus, if you want to make slides (talks & lectures), posters, infographics, reports, & social media graphics...using ppt might save you a ton of time.
And it's more fun than you might think.

Saturday #PublicSpeaking tip for academics:
Combine your love for #Caturday with the slides you're working on right now.
Unless it's a job talk, you can find a way to add a cat photo to just about any talk or lecture. 😸
That's right. I'm a professional phd presentation coach, and I'm confirming that cat pics are a crowd pleaser.
10/10 recommend.
