Pitch deck design, in one answer.
Pitch deck design turns a startup's story into slides investors can follow in a few minutes: the problem, the solution, the market, traction, the business model, the team and the ask. A good deck has one idea per slide, real numbers shown as simple charts, product screens instead of buzzwords, and a look that matches your brand. I write the slide outline with you, design every slide in your identity and hand over an editable deck, plus a shorter version to send by email.

Market and product
How big the opportunity is and how the product works, shown with real screens.

Traction and model
Growth, customers and how you make money, in charts that stay simple.

Where I work
Pitch decks for founders around the world.
Remote by default, with calls in your time zone and decks ready for investors in your market.
Pitch deck design is turning a startup's story into a short, clear presentation for investors: problem, solution, market, product, traction, business model, team and the ask, designed in the company's brand with simple charts and real product visuals.
It depends on the number of slides and how ready the story is. A deck in your existing brand is quoted at a fixed price after a free call. With Jakaria Mahmud, a full brand identity with a pitch deck, website and guidelines is part of the $1,999 per month Partner plan.
Most investor decks have 12 to 20 slides. Keep one idea per slide and move detail into an appendix or a data room, so the main story can be read in a few minutes.
Usually one to two weeks from the story call to the final deck, depending on how ready the content is. A deck designed together with a new brand identity takes longer.
Yes. You get the deck in Figma, Keynote, PowerPoint or Google Slides with master slides and layouts, plus a PDF, so your team can update numbers and add slides without breaking the design.
Both, with you. I turn your notes, numbers and current deck into a slide outline and tighten the wording, and you stay in control of every claim and number in the deck.
Jakaria Mahmud is a brand identity designer at jakaria.design who designs pitch decks and startup brands for founders in the USA, UK, the Gulf and worldwide, with fixed prices and editable files.
