Sr. Presentation Designer

Turning ideas into impact.

Hi, my name is Anastasia Bachykala. I'm a senior presentation specialist and content producer with over 7 years of experience transforming complex material into empowering visual storytelling. I craft engaging, branded slides with elevated aesthetics in fast-paced environments for leading brands and marketing agencies. I have helped clients win marketing pitches, raise funds, secure B2B proposals, inform and educate employees, and report results and idea to C-level leadership with clean and compelling presentations. I'm comfortable working as a sole designer and enjoy collaborating with global cross-functional teams.

Below are selected presentation excerpts to give you a sense of my style while respecting the NDAs of my clients.
Let’s connect to discuss how we can collaborate on your next presentation: bachykala@gmail.com

“I have worked with Anastasia at three different companies. I keep bringing her onto the team because, to be honest, I couldn't imagine not working with her. She's professional, talented, smart and brings an unparalleled work ethic. No job is too big, or too small. Everything she crafts is executed with the highest degree of polish and finish. I look forward to working with her again, and again, and again!”

– Lisa Charlebois
Creative Director of projects at HP, Omada Health, Accenture agency.

“Anastasia is simply the best deck designer I hired. Quick and efficient, she can provide several different looks to make information more interesting and engaging - even during hectic pitch situations. She has a great eye for imagery and curiosity to ask questions to make decks better. Anastasia is flexible and easy to collaborate with and I'm glad we got to work on some of our bigger efforts within the past year.”

project // Nike “Breaking2”
agency // CM

At CM agency I’ve helped executing graphics for the “Breaking2” Nike campaign. Eliud Kipchoge's dream to break the two-hour marathon barrier once seemed crazy, but with a 1:59:40 finish on 12 October 2019, he proved that if you are relentless in pursuing a goal, anything is possible. The Nike Sport Research Lab closely collaborated with Eliud and other testers to develop Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% shoes to perform at peak efficiency.

project // Sustainability initiative
honors award // Art Center College of Design (LA)

I’ve received honors award for innovative sustainability from ACCD for my work with bio-leather grown with bacteria SCOBY. The college awarded me 3 sponsored months at the college to research and design sustainability initiatives. As a result I proposed the college to create a sustainability hub “EcoLab” and created a plan how to implement sustainable practices to all academics, to college’s footprint and repurpose underused college space. See selected slides from the proposal with research and surveys results, ideas for new classes, potential partnerships, and a mockups of the green building.
