Presentation design, branding, and editorial infographics.

Every piece here started the same way: a conversation about the audience, the takeaway, and the one thing the work has to land.

AI-PLUS: a national medical education consortium project

A complete brand and presentation system for a fifteen-institution medical education consortium.

The work started with the grant proposal, past decks, and interview notes. The story came first, shaped for academic partners and funders. The brand, guidelines, and slide system followed.

Brand identityLogo, color palette, typography, and visual motifs, built to stand apart from the member institutions.
Brand guidelinesColor, type, iconography, layout, and usage standards for consistent work across the consortium.
Kickoff presentationThe original PowerPoint reworked into a clear narrative for the consortium's introduction.
Reusable template34 editable slides, 24 master layouts, and copy-and-paste elements, built for non-designers.

AI-PLUS slide titled 'Precision education powered by data,' with a soft gradient circle holding a callout that AI-plus-learning-science coaching is two times more effective than traditional computer-assisted instruction. AI-PLUS closing slide titled 'Back to our learner,' with a photograph of a clinician reviewing a clipboard and the line 'That's what we're building. Together.'

Pitch deck for an AI-powered clinical assessment partnership

The deck moves step by step from problem to solution. Each section earns the next, so the room stays with the story.

Pitch slide titled 'When access is unequal, talent gets lost,' with a photograph of a clinician and an older woman reviewing information on a tablet and a quote about losing physicians to the global health workforce.
Pitch slide titled 'A Candidate's Experience,' with a three-step path on the left (Select Scenario, Interact, Get Feedback) and a column of patient case cards on the right showing portrait photos and short clinical scenarios. Pitch slide titled 'Tested globally. Ready to scale,' with a dark photograph of Earth and three supporting points on international receptivity, localization, and barrier-free access.

Patient Safety Passport: a tool for older adults navigating care

A visual for a grant proposal. The tool it explains improves communication and helps older adults move more safely between hospital, clinic, and home.

Two pages get it across in a minute: iconography, plain language, and a simple workflow.

Patient Safety Passport summary page showing an app mockup with feature areas like medications, allergies, safety alerts, and care team, plus circular portraits labeled Care Giver, Physician, Care Team, and Pharmacist. Patient Safety Passport Flow diagram showing the workflow across four moments: At home, Before the visit, At the visit, and Back at home, each with three supporting actions.

Ethical Shades of Gray: an Academic Medicine infographic

For an Academic Medicine article on research misconduct and questionable research practices.

Custom illustrations bring humor to a serious subject. Readers scan it in a minute and remember it.

Ethical Shades of Gray infographic: tall single-column layout with a central balance scale comparing 'ethical' and 'unethical,' a survey statistic that ninety percent of researchers reported at least one questionable practice, the top five practices with percentages and small illustrations, and four strategies for responsible research at the bottom.
