PITCH PERFECT: Design Visual Presentations that Sell Your Projects with Canva

Do you have a brilliant idea, project, or service — but struggle to present it in a way that feels both clear and captivating? In this class, you'll learn how to create an unforgettable pitch deck: a visual presentation used to communicate your project to potential collaborators, funders, partners, or clients. Whether you're applying for a grant, launching a new service, seeking investment or collaborators, your pitch deck is your story's stage. We'll sketch the flow of your pitch deck in Miro — a collaborative digital whiteboard — to map the emotional and informational rhythm of your presentation. Then, I’ll walk you through tips to design slides in Canva that reflect your project’s personality, values, and creative vision using intuitive visual strategies. We will also go into how to use ChatGPT to bulletproof your storytelling and craft unique images.

As our live case study, we’ll use La Buena Residencia — an artist residency I introduced in my other class, The Art of Branding. There, we built its brand identity. In this class, we’ll shape its pitch deck to communicate its story to the world.-

By the end of this class, you’ll have a clear, emotionally resonant pitch deck that reflects your voice and vision.



This class is ideal for creatives, freelancers, and small brands who want to tell their story with both clarity and soul. No design experience required — just your ideas and the will to bring them to life.
