Presentation summary

Fed up with endless revisions, vague client feedback, and feeling more like an order-taker than an expert designer? You’re not alone. The way you present your work can make or break client relationships—and your sanity.

In this session, I’ll show you exactly how I’ve built a rock-solid presentation process that makes clients see me as the expert I am, eliminates those dreaded “make it pop” requests, and massively reduces feedback rounds. You’ll learn to frame your designs clearly, confidently, and strategically—so clients see solutions, not opinions.

Presentation goal & learning objectives

The goal is pretty simple: I want to equip designers/developers with methods to reduce client feedback, position themselves as experts, and streamline project approval.

I’m really sick of professional being walked all over by bad client ideas, if I can give 1 or 2 people in the audience the knowledge and confidence to know that their ideas are solid, and how to express that clearly, well, that’s a big win.

Presentation audience

This is intended for Designers and Developers, basically any person who has ever had to show their work to a client and get them to agree that their ideas are right, without pushing back, without suggesting things that make the end product worse or picking at things because someone can.

This would also suit business owners as it helps them understand the things they might get wrong when wanting a designer to bring “”their”” vision to live.”
