My guest for this episode is Emily Schneider, a visual storyteller specializing in presentation design. She helps businesses and leaders confidently transform their messages into beautiful, effective presentations that truly resonate with their intended audiences.
I love that Emily took a chance to gamble on herself and focus on her business after a layoff. She went all in and is succeeding! Many of us require this “push out of the nest” to take a big risk, like launching your own business.
That’s how my first solopreneur business started, too. The startup I was working for as an employee was acquired, and we all got laid off a couple of months later. Rather than diving right into a job search, I decided to take a swing at running a solopreneur business. I had a family to support, so it was risky. But it worked out!
About Emily
“My passion for simplifying complex content has become a bit of a magical knack — blending storytelling with a keen design eye. I'm not just a designer; I'm a strategic collaborator, dedicated to helping businesses confidently transform their messages into beautiful, effective presentations that truly resonate with their intended audiences.
What started with pink pixelated swirls and a questionable font choice as the invitation for my sweet sixteen luncheon has morphed into a creative business venture. My nearly two decades spent in the marketing and branding space, combined with my passion to help simplify information for clients in a vibrant and compelling way, make me a perfect partner for your presentation needs.”
