[ 01 / The difference ]
Presentation redesign: same content, completely different reaction.
Nothing about your business changes in a slide deck redesign or PowerPoint redesign. What changes is the decision a stranger makes in the first five seconds.

Case 01 / Slide deck
Wall of text to one idea per slide
Dense slides rebuilt around a single point each, with consistent type and charts that read instantly. The room listens to you instead of reading ahead.

[ 03 / Why people hire me ]
Why hire a freelance presentation designer for your next deck.
Most reasons to hire a freelance PowerPoint designer have very little to do with pixels and everything to do with how it feels to run a business with work you are not proud of.
/01
You work with me, not a junior.
You brief one person and that person does the work. Nothing gets lost in a handoff, and you never explain your business twice.
/02
You stop feeling embarrassed sending the link.
Most people already know their site or deck is holding them back. That quiet hesitation before you share it is the real cost. We remove it.
/03
Your price stops being questioned.
Buyers judge credibility in seconds. When the design looks considered, your rate stops sounding high and starts sounding reasonable.
/04
The scope is written down before you pay.
Page count, slide count, revisions, and delivery date are agreed in writing. No moving targets and no surprise invoices.
/05
Two revisions, then a flat $30.
Two rounds are included. A third round is a flat $30 so you always know the ceiling instead of guessing at it.
/06
You do not have to manage me.
You will not chase me for updates. You get a status note at each stage and the finished files when they are done.
[ 04 / How it works ]
Presentation design process: submit first, then we design.
You never pay just to ask. The scope and price are confirmed in writing before any invoice is sent.
01 / Email
Tell me what you are building.
Email me your name, company, and the full details: the goal of the deck, the audience, slide count, the content you already have, and your deadline. Attach anything relevant.
No payment required
02 / Review
I review your project.
I read everything, check the slide count, deadline, and requirements, and decide honestly whether I am the right fit. If I am not, I say so early.
Reply within 1 day
03 / Approve
You approve the scope, then we begin.
I confirm the scope, slide count, price, timeline, and revisions in writing. Once you approve, I send a simple invoice and work starts on the agreed date.
No surprise pricing
04 / Design
I design your deck.
Your content becomes a polished presentation. One idea per slide, consistent type and color, charts that read at a glance.
Work starts on the agreed date

Do not have everything ready? That is okay. Tell me what you have.
[ 07 / Pricing ]
Presentation design pricing for pitch decks, sales decks & PowerPoint slides.
You should not have to book a call to know what professional presentation design costs. The same flat pricing covers pitch deck design, sales deck design, investor presentations, corporate and board decks, and PowerPoint slide design. These are starting points. Final pricing is confirmed after I review your project scope, so a simple deck and a complex one are never priced the same.
Service 01
Custom presentation design
The problem. You have the numbers and the story, but the deck buries both. People read the slide instead of listening to you.
What you get. One idea per slide, consistent type and color, charts that read at a glance. The room follows you instead of skimming ahead.
7 slide presentationStarting at $400
12 slide presentationStarting at $600

Book a free consultation[ 08 / After you submit ]
What happens after I submit?
You do not pay just to ask. Book a free consultation or email your project details first. I will review everything and decide whether I am the right fit.

[ 10 / About ]
About Local Forge Labs: freelance presentation designer in North Carolina.
My name is Mellisa Brown, a freelance presentation designer based in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, working remotely with clients across North Carolina and the rest of the United States. Presentation design became part of my creative journey while studying at AICH. I have learned that great design is not just about making something look good. It is about understanding what is being asked, organizing information, and helping someone communicate their idea clearly.
I run Local Forge Labs on my own and I do one thing: presentation design. Most of my work comes from founders, consultants, and marketing leads who have a room to win and a deck that is not ready for it. I step in for a defined project or a stretch of contract work, rebuild the deck, and hand back files your team can keep using.
I am not trying to become your agency. I am trying to make the thing you are already selling look like it deserves the price you are already charging.
Working with me is deliberately boring in the good way. A written scope, a flat price, two revisions, a date, and files delivered. No retainers you forget to cancel.
