Book a 1:1 consultation with me
Let’s work together on zoom for 90 minutes.
That’s the TL;DR.
There’s lots of details below about add-on options, custom packages, how the sessions work, and some testimonials.
But if you’re in a rush, the #1 thing you need to know is that this isn’t a coaching call where we just work on your mindset. We’re going to actually work on your slides, script, infographic, report, or communication product together.
Client spotlight (Keynote): Dr. Tanya Golash-Boza
Dr. Golash-Boza first completed Fail-Proof Slide Design and then reached out for 1-and-1 services to improve her keynote.
She already had a recording of her delivering the keynote, so we customized the service.
I spent the first “session” watching (independently) the recording and provided written feedback about the script/storyboard and delivery.
Then, we met 1-and-1 on Zoom to review the feedback and improve the visual slides of her keynote.
…Years later, Dr. Golash-Boza continues to receive compliments about her presentation design and organization!

Client case study (Job Talk): Dr. Isabel García Valdivia
Dr. García Valdivia first completed my online professional development program and a 1-and-1 session as a graduate student.
She had been implementing her new presentation design skills for a while…
…Then, when it was time for her academic job talk, she reached out and we did four 1-and-1 sessions.
She did four campus visit interviews and received three offers!
Though, tbh, it’s more accurate to say creative communication is my specialty.
My clients get standing ovations, job offers, book sales, rave reviews, and new invitations to speak.
Now let’s talk about how I help.
Here is how the session will go.
My goal is to do as much of the creative heavy lifting as possible…
…and to get you as far as I possibly can in our time together.
Every session is tailored to each individual client. Because no two people or products are the same, no 2 sessions look the same.
But here’s the process I follow with every client.
Needs assessment: Where your material is now vs where you want it to be.
We spend the first 5-10 minutes talking about your goals and the areas you struggle with the most.
I use this to assess our starting point, the end goal, and the steps needed to bridge the gap.
Add 1 hour of my independent review & design time BEFORE we meet.
Progress map: Identify the 1-3 improvements we can make in our session.
I identify where I can do the most heavy lifting to help you get at least one step closer toward your goal during our session.
I check in with you about what I’m thinking, and we agree on how we will spend the rest of the session.
This is customized to each client based on their most urgent needs, current skill level, preferences, and interests.
Feedback looping: I edit, you give feedback, I adjust. Repeat.
As I make edits to your material, I explain why and what I’m doing while checking-in to get your immediate feedback.
Based on your feedback, I make additional edits or move onto the next item.
This creates an ongoing positive feedback loop.
Add 1 hour of my independent review & design time AFTER we meet.
This gives you more support after our session is over.
Most clients choose for me to finish an advanced design we brainstormed together, because I can put together advanced designs more quickly.
Sometimes, clients use this as a chance to make revisions based on our session and then get feedback from me on those revisions.
And here’s how the process looks when you choose the optional upgrades when you book.
~ about the optional add-ons you’ll see when booking ~
This allows us to make more progress in a single session.
I use this time familiarize myself with your materials.
For example, I will try to read your entire presentation script (depending on the length) and/or click through the entire presentation.
In most cases, I also use this time to prepare some draft revisions or design ideas, so we can “hit the ground running” in our session.
Client case study (Dissertation)
Dr. Tehout Selameab
Dr. Selameab was burned out and had a lot on her plate, but she needed to get her dissertation done, fast.
We did a full-day intensive. See what we accomplished in just one day.
We can go beyond just 1 session, too.
After our initial session is over, we can brainstorm a custom consulting package that best meets your needs.
Even if you want a package of sessions or additional services, most clients like being able to just book one single session first and decide from there. We can always stop there if it meets your needs. But, if you decide you want to continue working with me, here are a few options we can talk about after our session is over:
A package of short sessions
(60- or 90-minute sessions)
A half- or full-day working intensive (or a package of them)
Switch to “done for you” services. If our session ended up being exclusively planning for that specific product, the fee for our first session will be applied to the total design services cost.
A custom combination of collaborative sessions, professional development, and/or “done for you” services:
Script editing/ghostwriting
Presentation slide design
Data visualization design
Infographic/handout design
Graphic design (e.g., website or social media graphics)
Video editing
Access to my online professional development course
There will be no pressure to purchase any of the above during our session, and I will not ask for payment during the session. If you do want to continue working with me, we will brainstorm a custom package together and then I will email those details to you later with a link to purchase whenever you’re ready.
