Looking for an entertaining and passionate speaker?
Sharing my knowledge about graphic design and visual branding is one of the favourite parts of my job. With great passion and a good dash of humour I will teach you things about design that you didn’t know before, and leave you with some practical design nuggets that you can use in your business. Choose from these eight talks below, or let me know if your audience has a special wish for a talk.
1. What is Visual Branding? (And why should you care?)
In this talk, I will not only tell you but show you what visual branding truly is — and why it matters to your business. You may be a bit surprised by one of the reasons.
2. The 3 Pillars of Visual Branding
Most people know that visual branding has something to do with things “looking the same,” or what we call visual consistency. Many also mention authenticity when asked what visual branding is about. Yes, those are two of the pillars. But what is the third — and not least important — pillar? All will be revealed in this presentation.
3. Vision
The word vision can have at least two different meanings, both of which you should understand, because they are equally important for your business. This is an eye-opener (no pun intended).
4. Please Present! (Don’t Read.)
Everyone can read. If your presentation consists of a long series of bullet-pointed slides saying exactly the same as what comes out of your mouth, cancel the presentation and send an email instead.
In this talk, I’ll share practical advice on presentation design and delivery that will change how you think about presenting — forever.
5. Graphic Workshop (Interactive)
This session is an interactive graphic workshop where attendees are encouraged to submit their own visuals for a round of friendly critique that everyone can learn from. If no one submits work, I’ll use real-world examples such as social media images or advertisements.
You are guaranteed to walk away with valuable insights.
6. What the Font?
Can fonts and typography be entertaining? Yes — absolutely. Join this font-nerd on a typographic journey and discover how fonts communicate far more than the words set in them.
7. The Two Best Tools for Graphic Design
It’s not what you think. It’s not Canva. It’s not InDesign. In this presentation, I’ll show you the real tools of graphic design — and how you can learn to use them to create stronger visual communication for your business.
8. So, You Want a Website?
Funny enough, many people believe websites simply appear out of thin air because someone wants one. They don’t! This talk walks you through what you need to prepare and consider before having a website created — and it may not be what you think.
9. Logos Under the Lens
The digital age has changed both the use and creation of logos. Many older logos no longer meet the requirements of modern digital environments. In this presentation, I’ll show you why — and how a logo can be redesigned for the digital age without losing its brand identity.
You will never look at a logo the same way again.
