Salma is a presentation rock star.
Her visuals literally popped out of the page for the work that she did with me. I think I sat in stunned astonishment at the quality of her work for a good five minutes before I could come up with the words to thank her.
And what’s even better? She’s a senior level technical analyst, so she understands on a deep level what her audience is looking for. I’ve never met someone with such a unique skill set, and you’d be lucky to work with her on your data or PowerPoint visual presentations.
Highest recommendation
Yogesh K.Soni
Founder & CEO - Transcend Tech Inc.
I reached out to Salma because I needed a high-quality deck. I met her through a common connection who highly recommended her work.
I explained to her the premise of the presentation in one video call. Normally, this is the toughest part with back-and-forth discussions required.
I was delighted that she grasped the concept in just one meeting. Moreover, she did her own research and came back with a beautifully crafted, compelling, and original design.
Her corporate background and experience presenting to the C-suites differentiate her from the rest. The messaging in the deck was crisp and to the point. So I didn't have to waste time on multiple revisions.
It was a delight working with Salma. I recommend collaborating with her, especially if you are a senior leader.
