You are a master of PowerPoint — your animations are legendary, and you dream in slides. Logos are your jam; you can rattle off your top 10 as if they were your own. You’re a visual storyteller and self-starter, so you come to meetings with a more airtight deck than a submarine. Pixels are your pals, and you speak in keystrokes. You’re also collaborative and willing to learn — did you know PowerPoint was originally named Presenter? You’re a surgeon when it comes to dissecting a brief.

Are you creating a well-designed checklist in your head as you read? If so, please keep reading.
