A VISUAL THINKING WORKSHOP

Most of us are not trained designers, yet we create presentations every day. Effectively communicating your point using a visual medium isn’t always intuitive, and poor design can obscure your meaning. Thankfully, you can learn to think like a designer, and your audiences will thank you for it. This workshop will teach you how to isolate the most crucial information on your slide and express it visually.
