#133. Andrea Tomingas and the art of “information organization”

Andrea Tomingas has a talent for telling one story, many different ways. From being a presentation designer at Hulu to co-founding a business, Andrea offers a unique perspective on presentations.  Having co-founded Duck Brigade over ten years ago, Andrea knows the importance of communicating a company story well, in a short amount of time.  Duck Brigade specializes in UX design, landing pages, logos and pitch decks—all various forms of “information organization” as they call it.  As Andrea walks us through what’s in/out in pitch decks, their ideal pitch deck flow and creating a UX wireframe, we realize that a UX design and pitch deck creation have a lot of useful foundations in common. This is an episode for: designers of all kinds and anyone that has to pitch. What's in the Spice Cabinet?? Where to find Andrea?
