Hudson MX Presentation Template (Major Update)
Role: Graphic Designer
Tools: Google Slides, Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects)
Objective: Overhaul a massive, outdated Google Slides presentation system to align with a new corporate brand identity.
Impact: Enabled company-wide teams to autonomously construct executive-ready presentations using a rigorous 127-slide master template.
Hudson MX relied heavily on Google Workspace, but their legacy slide templates had been untouched since 2019—a lifetime in the SaaS world. Stepping in, I spearheaded a massive overhaul of their corporate presentation system to match a broader brand modernization. I meticulously forged a 127-slide master template, complete with an instructional index, brand compliance checklists, and a copy-and-pasteable icon library. By deploying both full and skeleton versions company-wide, I enabled teams to autonomously construct executive-ready presentations without needing to constantly ping the design department.
Below are side-by-side comparisons of the original presentation vs. the overhauled one. (Click to enlarge)
