Lakeway builds smart data operations at scale, a data lakehouse platform still in stealth. The CEO submitted a conference talk on a whim. It got accepted. Three weeks to keynote, a rough 27-slide deck with no brand application, and two more presentations queued after that.
Instead of designing one deck, I built a presentation system. The system is the product, not the slides. Now the founder can produce any future presentation without a designer.
Complete brand setup in the client's own Canva Pro account. Color palette, logos, fonts, chart styles accessible from the native brand panel.
5 to 10 reusable slide types: cover, content with cards, divider, image with wave pattern cutouts, data layouts. Swap text and images, the design holds.
Lake and mountain imagery with flowing wave patterns. Calm and expansive, matching the lakehouse concept. Sunset-inspired purple/orange gradients.
Two complete decks delivered, both built from the template system. The founder produces any future presentation without a designer.
I think you're right in the right direction. You have what you need. And you have the artistic freedom to do whatever you want. Looks great.
