| 5/5/26 |  e245 - Inside the Creative Process: Designing a Partnership Pitch Deck | In episode 245 of The Presentation Podcast, Troy and Lori Chollar of TLC Creative Services give us access to their team's design process by pulling back the curtain of a completed partnership pitch deck project. This project got them thinking about how we all approach presentation design. Everything starts before a single slide is designed with understanding and defining the purpose and type of presentation this is, which then influences the visual design and on-slide messaging. Their candid conversation is a great listen full of strategies and ideas for crafting visually rich, purpose-driven presentations. Listen now!
