Microsoft: Build 2024 Presentation Deck - Maximize joy, minimize toil with great developer experiences (presentation design)

Situation: Microsoft Build is an annual conference aimed at software engineers and web developers. For the 2024 event, I was responsible for designing the presentation deck for the executive presentation titled "Maximize Joy, Minimize Toil with Great Developer Experiences." This presentation was to be delivered by Microsoft shareholders, requiring a high level of visual appeal and professionalism.

Task: My task was to create a visually compelling and cohesive presentation deck that included template/master slide design, presentation design, custom icon creation, and animations. The goal was to ensure that the presentation effectively conveyed the message while engaging the audience.

Action: To achieve this, I designed a custom template and master slides, created unique icons and graphics to illustrate key points and concepts, and incorporated smooth animations to enhance the flow and engagement of the presentation. Throughout the process, I collaborated closely with the stakeholders to ensure the design met their expectations and effectively supported their message.

Result: The final presentation deck was a success at Microsoft Build 2024. The visual aesthetics, custom icons, and animations received positive feedback from both the presenters and the audience. The presentation effectively communicated the key messages and contributed to a memorable and engaging experience for the attendees. My work helped elevate the overall quality of the event, showcasing the value of great developer experiences.
