Presentation designers & PowerPoint experts

A presentation design agency founded to help people like you
VerdanaBold was founded with a simple mission: to help everyday people give amazing presentations. With deep experience in graphic design and traditional ad agencies, we learned firsthand how much time and energy went into developing great presentations, and thought “there has to be a better way.” With that one simple insight, a new agency was born. From the way we built our team to the way we work with clients, everything we do is focused on helping you give the best presentation possible for your brand.
What makes VerdanaBold unique
We’re not designers who do presentations – we’re presentation designers
There are lots of amazing creatives who can design beautiful slides. But a pretty slide doesn’t make a great presentation. Our team of experienced presentation designers knows the ins and outs of presenting, and how to help you find the balance between stunning designs and compelling content.
We’re a partner, not a vendor
The best presentations are unique – they are adapted to fit your style, approach, and personality, and are created with the specific audience you want to reach in mind. That’s why you need something more than a production vendor who knocks out slides as quickly as possible, without worrying about whether they are right or not. We work directly with presenters to fine-tune each aspect of the presentation, so you can get a great presentation and the confidence of knowing a dedicated team is on your side.
We love what we do
We get it – PowerPoint isn’t the coolest thing to specialize in. But presentations aren’t just about slides – they are about people. And helping people is why we do what we do. It’s why we love learning about your business, what keeps us focused on new ideas, and why we’re so committed to helping you give great presentations.

Open for questions
Where does the name "VerdanaBold" come from?
Even if you aren’t a designer, you’re likely familiar with our name through the font, and that’s no coincidence. That’s because our name is our philosophy. Verdana is a system font that’s available on nearly every computer, so it's one that everyone can use. It represents our mission to make everyone a better presenter.
Bold is our outlook. We believe that with a little practice and confidence, anyone can give great presentations. And that’s how we want you to feel after you work with us.
Why do you focus on presentations?
Presentations make the world go round. But for all their importance, too many presenters simply don’t have the time, skills, or resources to do presentation design. Our goal as presentation designers is to help people elevate their slides and improve their business through better presentations. So we focus on one thing, because it’s just that important.
How can I learn more about giving better presentations?
We’re glad you asked! There’s no secret sauce to presentations, just basic skills that anyone can learn. So we offer a robust set of free resources, including blog posts, downloadable guides, and monthly newsletters, all so you can present more confidently (and successfully).
What results have clients using VerdanaBold achieved?
Our presentation designers help clients walk into high-stakes moments fully prepared and walk out with results. One client saved 30 hours of prep time before a major keynote address through our combined design and storytelling support. Enterprise clients have used our work to close deals faster, improve investor engagement, and deliver more consistent messaging across their organizations. We hold a 5.0 rating on both Google and Clutch, and clients consistently tell us that working with VerdanaBold changes how they think about presentations entirely.
How quickly can VerdanaBold complete a presentation design project?
Timeline flexibility is built into how we work. Our presentation designers are ready to start today and move as fast as you need. Whether you’re up against a tight deadline or planning a larger initiative with more runway, we adapt to your schedule, not the other way around. Contact us with your timeline and we’ll build a plan that works for your project.
Who are the presentation designers at VerdanaBold?
VerdanaBold is a focused team of specialists, not a large production shop where work gets handed off to a junior team with minimal oversight. The full team includes a mix of presentation designers, storytelling experts, project managers, and supporting designers, each chosen specifically for their expertise in presentations.
Can you handle large or ongoing enterprise design presentations?
Yes. VerdanaBold is structured to provide both project-based work and ongoing enterprise support. Our team handles everything from a single pitch deck to large-scale enterprise programs involving branded templates, slide libraries, team training, and continuous design support. For enterprise clients managing high volumes of presentations across teams and departments, we can act as a dedicated extension of your internal team bringing consistency, speed, and senior-level design expertise to every presentation your organization produces.
What types of companies and industries do you work with?
VerdanaBold works with a wide range of clients from startups preparing investor pitch decks to Fortune 500 enterprise teams managing large-scale presentation programs. Our client roster includes Cardinal Health, Lowe's, Kohler, GoodRx, SC Johnson, Keurig Dr Pepper, Teladoc Health, Keysight Technologies, Zebra Technologies, Culligan, and Aspen Dental. Our presentation designers have deep experience across consumer goods, healthcare, technology, financial services, retail, and professional services. We're equally comfortable supporting a solo executive preparing for a keynote as we are partnering with an enterprise marketing or sales team managing dozens of presentations across an organization.
How much does VerdanaBold charge for presentation design services?
Pricing is tailored to the scope and complexity of each project. We work with clients at different stages from a focused engagement on a single presentation to broader enterprise support covering templates, ongoing design, and team training. Contact us to discuss your needs and we'll put together a proposal that fits your goals and budget.
What is the process for working with you on a presentation design project?
Working with VerdanaBold is designed to be collaborative, efficient, and easy. Our project managers work directly with you from the start learning your brand, your audience, and your goals so every decision is made with your specific presentation in mind. We can work from wherever you are in the process: a few rough notes, an existing deck that needs a refresh, or a fully written presentation that needs a design overhaul. We ask questions, offer strategic input, and stay in close contact throughout so there are no surprises. Team collaboration is central to how we operate, and clients consistently describe the experience as feeling like having a dedicated design partner rather than a vendor.
Why should I hire VerdanaBold instead of another presentation design agency?
Most design agencies can make slides look good. Our presentation designers do something different; we combine design, storytelling, and strategy to create presentations that move audiences and drive real business results. With over 60,000 slides in our portfolio, deep enterprise support experience, and a senior team led by one of the most experienced presentation designers in the industry, we bring a level of specialization that general creative agencies can't match. We're also one of the few agencies that offers both presentation design services and corporate training, making us a long-term partner for teams that want to raise their overall presentation capabilities. We're a certified woman-owned business headquartered in Chicago, and everything we do is built around one mission: helping you give the best presentation possible.
Where is VerdanaBold located? Do you work with clients outside of Chicago?
VerdanaBold is headquartered in Chicago, IL, and works with clients across the United States and globally. Our team collaborates remotely with enterprise teams, startups, and individual executives regardless of location. We've built our entire workflow around seamless remote team collaboration sharing files, gathering feedback, and managing revisions in a way that's easy and efficient no matter where you are.
Does VerdanaBold design presentations in PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote?
Our presentation designers specialize in PowerPoint. It's where we do our deepest and most sophisticated work and we also design in Google Slides. We do not currently work in Keynote. We deliver files in whatever format your team needs. Unlike general graphic designers who work primarily in Figma, Photoshop or Illustrator and treat presentations as a secondary skill, our entire practice is built around presentation software. That means the files we deliver are fully editable, on-brand, and easy for your team to use and update independently.
Why hire VerdanaBold over a freelance presentation designer?
A freelancer gives you one person. VerdanaBold gives you a dedicated team of presentation designers, a project manager, and senior level oversight all working together on your project. That means broader expertise, more reliable timelines, and the kind of enterprise support a solo designer simply can't provide. We've designed presentations for Fortune 500 companies, C-suite executives, and major keynote stages, and we bring that depth of experience to every engagement. We're also a stable, accountable partner not someone who might go dark before your deadline.
Is VerdanaBold a certified woman-owned business?
Yes. We're a certified Woman-Owned Business (WBE), headquartered in Chicago, IL. For enterprise clients and procurement teams with supplier diversity requirements, we're a qualified and experienced partner.
Does VerdanaBold offer presentation design training for corporate teams?
Yes, we offer virtual training courses for corporate teams who want to build stronger in-house presentation capabilities. Our training programs include Power Your Pitches (pitch deck fundamentals), Data Visualization, Presentation Design & Storytelling, and Template Training. This makes us a uniquely valuable partner for enterprise organizations that want both exceptional outsourced design support and the tools to elevate their own team's presentation skills over time.
Does VerdanaBold help with content strategy and storytelling too?
Yes and this is one of our most important differentiators. Many presentation designers focus exclusively on making slides look good. VerdanaBold takes a comprehensive approach that combines visual design with strategic storytelling. We work to sharpen your narrative, refine your messaging, write slide copy, and develop speaker notes. We can help you build a compelling story from a rough outline, or take content you already have and make it clearer, more concise, and more persuasive. If your slides are hard to follow and your key messages are buried under mountains of text, fixing that is core to what we do. We can also clean-up and redesign your presentation if you already have the content and strategy.
What industries has VerdanaBold worked in?
VerdanaBold's presentation designers have worked across a wide range of industries, including consumer goods, healthcare, technology, financial services, retail, and professional services. Our client roster includes companies like Pepsi, Keurig Dr Pepper, SC Johnson, Cardinal Health, GoodRx, Teladoc Health, Kohler, Lowe's, Keysight Technologies, Zebra Technologies, Culligan, and Aspen Dental. Whether you're in a highly regulated industry that demands precision or a fast-moving consumer brand that needs visual impact, we have the experience to understand your world and create presentations that resonate with your specific audience.
Is it just one-time presentation design projects or ongoing design support?
Both. VerdanaBold works with clients across the full spectrum from a single pitch deck or keynote presentation to long-term enterprise support engagements. Some clients come to us for one critical presentation and return whenever a high-stakes moment is on the horizon. Others work with us on an ongoing basis, relying on our presentation designers as a consistent extension of their internal team for continuous design support, template management, and enterprise-wide presentation needs. We're happy to structure the relationship in whatever way best fits your team and your workload.
