Pete McKay / McKayDesign: Owner / Freelance PowerPoint Designer
June 2002 – Present
​
Since June 2002, I’ve provided PowerPoint services to multiple clients...entirely referral-based. I’ve established & supported working relationships with many clients as they journeyed through their own career paths. I’ve conceptualized & designed visually dynamic marketing presentations for successful RFP campaigns, SKO Meetings, and User Conferences resulting in new business / new customer acquisitions.  I’ve developed client graphic libraries which reduced design / production times by 50%, ensuring updates, enhancements, and consistency of each client’s unique, brand guidelines. I’ve also delivered reliable PPT logistic support services for several large conference / multi-deck meetings (onsite & offsite).

Listed below is a snapshot sample of clients I’ve worked with and continue to serve:

Awards & Customer Quotes 
"It's been almost 10 years since I first started working with Pete McKay, and I have to say in all that time, regardless of budget or deadline, I have never been disappointed with the quality or creative genius of his work. Pete can take an over-abundance of text and a less than fully defined graphic vision and with little guidance, convert it into the exact visual message required for any audience. I would highly recommend his work for anyone looking to bring a fresh creative perspective to their marketing materials and/or presentations." – Stefanie Zucker, Axios Partners
 
“Pete’s work is like Christmas morning. You never know what to expect,
​but you’re always pleasantly surprised.”
​– Gina Sandon-Reynolds, IBM
 
“If you’re looking for a PowerPoint Pro, look no further...Pete McKay
is the wizard. Not only is he professional at every level but, he has a solution for every request. We highly recommend using his services
​for your next presentation project.”  – John Scaletta, President,
Motion Source Video Production
