About

I'm a presentation designer and data visualization specialist with 8+ years of experience translating complex scientific, technical, and programmatic data into clear, executive-ready visuals. I work primarily in Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and PowerPoint to produce presentations, reports, infographics, and publication-ready outputs for international organizations including UN agencies (IOM, FAO), consulting firms (Palladium Group), and nonprofits.

My strength is editorial judgment — knowing what to show, what to cut, and how to make complex data land with non-expert audiences. I've designed 40+ executive presentations and 70+ reports across healthcare, humanitarian, and development sectors, working in English, French, and Spanish.

I'm based in Quebec, fully remote, and available for freelance and contract presentation design work.
