Presentation Review
$100.00 (paid by invoice)
Let’s level up your onsite presentation.
I’ll review your presentation with a hiring manager’s eye and share a google doc of detailed feedback (detailed below). Showcasing your work is a huge undertaking and a big design project but without the typical feedback you’d get from customers or your cross-functional partners. Use me as your thought partner you lean on during projects. With my expertise interviewing and hiring hundreds of designers at Stripe, Mailchimp, Twilio, Faire and Pivotal Labs, I'll guide you in presenting your work in the best light possible.
How it works
Onsite Presentations
These interviews typically last about 45 with about 10 additional minutes for Q&A. Showcase no more than 2-3 projects of your past work. Help interviewers understand your design approach, quality of execution, and how you make tradeoffs in your design decisions. Remember your presentation is just as much a portfolio piece as the projects you’re showcasing. Though not required, 1-2 intro slides to help the audience get to know your career history and personal interests is industry standard.
How it works
Submit a link to your presentation for review during checkout.
I will send you detailed feedback via a Google Doc within 48 hours (excluding holidays and weekends), though usually my response time is faster.
That’s it! Though, folks often setup follow up consultation to talk through their next round of iteration.
Payment
Payments are made via Square. I will send you an invoice via email.
What’s in the doc
In your personalized google doc I’ll write a brief and actionable summary as well as slide-by-slide feedback to help you sweat the details.
Summary: I’ll include a brief 2-3 sentence summary recognizing the strengths of your presentation as well as areas for improvement.
Next Steps: A prioritized list of the top 5 action items I recommend.
Global Feedback: Specific bullet pointed feedback to be applied across your presentation (eg. tactical things like navigation, use of images, clarity of copy or strategic things like bringing more focus to the customer or highlighting where you made tradeoffs.
Slide Specific Feedback: Specific bullet pointed feedback pointing to specific slides (eg. how you transition the narrative from one side to another, how you’re positioning your role in the project, which images you’re showing or how you’re showing them to illustrate your point).
About Nina
I’m a design leader based in Brooklyn, New York, though I built most of my tech career in San Francisco and for a year lived in Berlin to build out a new office. I was last managing teams at Faire, a marketplace for brands and retailers.
Prior to that I led several teams overseeing sub-brands, developer tools, and design systems at Mailchimp. I was an IC at Stripe and Twilio, and helped start the design and management team at Pivotal Labs scaling our hiring and design practice across 12+ offices worldwide. I’ve built and scaled hiring processes at most of these companies and reviewed hundreds of portfolios and interviewed designers in my time. I can bring my experience from the other side of the interviewing panel to help you showcase your strengths and craft a story that will show companies how much you have to offer.
