We help leaders get the story right so their audiences believe, trust, and move forward.

Senior executives don’t need better slides. They need a partner who understands the business, challenges their thinking, and helps them make clear choices

I started Outkreate because I saw a gap. Design agencies could make things look good, but they didn’t understand the business. That meant endless handholding, missed context, and presentations that lacked impact. We fix that.

At Outkreate, we go beyond design. We craft the story, structure the narrative, and sharpen the messaging before a single slide is designed. Presentations aren’t just deliverables; they’re tools to solve business problems, influence decisions, and drive outcomes. We’ve helped executives deliver 1000+ high-stakes presentations that move the needle.

Before Outkreate, I worked in corporate strategy, category management, sales and engineering at Hershey and Bridgestone. These roles that gave me a deep understanding of how large enterprises operate and make decisions. I also hold a Master’s in Management System Engineering from Virginia Tech, which fuels my analytical approach to storytelling.

My role? I roll up my sleeves in the early stages, working as a thought partner to senior executives. I push thinking in a collaborative way, steelman different perspectives, and bring an objective, outside-in view to refine the message.

If a presentation needs to drive real business impact, that’s when you call us.

Cheers,

I’ve been making the “I’m the PowerPoint guy” joke in meetings for over a decade, letting the work, the insight, and the relationships do the talking for me.

While my career in marketing and communication design spans nearly 20 years, “growing up” in the healthcare space as both a production designer and brand creative, I’ve been exclusively focused on storytelling through presentation design since 2014. Working as an expert resource across industries and project needs, I’m just as comfortable heads down in the details of deck design as I am rewriting copy and discussing big-picture narrative (and sometimes color theory) with executive leadership.

You have to be a little bit obsessed with your craft to decide you’re going to spend most of your working hours in PowerPoint and I’m just that. Meticulous about hierarchy, sentence structure, and using the correct types of dashes, I believe aesthetics and making a visual impression are important, but only if they support a coherent and deliberate story. I know that getting someone’s attention is easy, but keeping it and ensuring they leave with the intended message is the real trick.

A big part of my role is ensuring a function-over-form, audience-driven philosophy is built into every deck, and that clients look forward to the meetings on their calendar (or at least that’s what we’re told).

In my off time I focus on learning and mentorship, acting as an adjunct professor with Rutgers’ MBS Capstone Program, helping the next generation of investors, innovators, and entrepreneurs master presentation design and execution.

Till then,
