Learn how to design beautiful and effective presentations from scratch
Remember the time you had to sit through an endless presentation full of charts and text and weird transition animations? Chances are you do. But do you remember anything about what was on it? Now that's a different story. The way we present information greatly influences how much of it we absorb, which is why presentation design is an art in and of itself.
Katya Kovalenko is a Barcelona-based data designer who helps businesses communicate visually, clearly, and more effectively. In this course, she'll share all the potential that she's found in presentation design, showing you the process that she uses with her clients, the methods of organizing information, as well as give you pro tips from a designer’s point of view.

A course by Katya Kovalenko
Katya Kovalenko worked in advertising for nearly a decade before she embarked on what she calls “a quiet revolution.” After reading “Quiet” by Susan Cain, her notion of communication completely shifted. It led her to create Quiet Studio, which focuses on communicating in a more subtle and personal way.
As presentation and data designer at Quiet Studio, she creates presentations, infographics, and brand identities for businesses. She has worked with numerous brands and organizations like Meom, Article Group, Interesting Development, and Chelsea & Co.

This course has provided an enormous amount of value and enabled me to have a much more focused and organised approach to creating top notch presentations. The delivery of the course was easy to follow, and offered a comprehensive path for taking abstract, creative ideas and turning them into impactful, standout designs. The resources provided are also a very helpful supplement. Katya's other courses are also very valuable for creating impressive designs and contributing towards my confidence.
