- **Client Presentation:**

- A portfolio that demonstrates both deep strategic thinking (case studies) and high-end visual execution (branding, typography, and campaigns).
- Proficient in developing presentations and proposals using Microsoft PowerPoint.
- Excellent presentation and storytelling skills in English.
