just as the title “product designer” was stolen from those brilliant industrial designers, I believe we’re on the cusp of the next great title swoop.

Overall, we think think this is a pretty average deck that could be better with some upgrades:

⭐⭐⭐ Story
⭐⭐ Copy
⭐⭐ Design

[Ask Tony @AskTonyStudio]

Our audit found 6+ improvement opportunities including:

1) Adding slides highlighting team and journey to point.

2) Reordering slides to make pain points hit harder (problem, perspective)

2) Add a clear ask

4) Reduce text walls and support images with punchier headlines
