Presentation Design - Mini Mall
Turning dense fund data into something an investor could actually follow. Built on an inherited template, corrected for brand, and redesigned where the numbers needed room to breathe.

Mini Mall Storage Properties needed a management update deck to present fund performance and operational progress to investors and stakeholders. The deck was built on an existing template originally created by the finance team, so rather than designing a system from scratch, the job was to bring that structure up to brand standard and make dense financial information genuinely easy to follow, without changing the required content or order.
-
Content was provided by the finance and leadership team, either as inline comments on the deck or in separate Word documents, along with a required order the information had to follow. The template itself was also fixed, since it was originally built by a non-design team, meaning I was working within someone else's existing structure rather than starting from a blank canvas. How the information was visually organized and broken down within that structure was where my decisions actually came in.
Design Decisions
Brand Audit
Since the original deck was built by the finance team rather than design, I reviewed every slide against Avenue Living's brand guidelines and corrected inconsistencies in colour, type, and layout throughout.
Custom Graphics
Several slides carried dense blocks of information that would have been overwhelming as plain text. I created diagrams and visual breakdowns in their place, cutting down how much a reader needed to process to understand each point (as seen in slides 5, 6, 10, 15).
Colour - Blocking for Focus
Slide 5 carried a large number of statistics alongside supporting text. Rather than presenting it as a flat block, I used shape and colour to isolate key sections, directing the reader's eye to the numbers that mattered most instead of letting everything compete equally.
Map & Stat Breakdown
Slide 19 needed to present figures across several locations at once. I used a map alongside clearly separated, colour-coded boxes so each set of numbers stayed visually tied to its corresponding location, turning a genuinely complex comparison into something easy to scan.
Outcome
This deck gave the finance team a polished, brand-consistent presentation for the Mini Mall fund, turning dense financial data into something clear and easy to follow for the investors and stakeholders reviewing it.
