Kirk and the M'idea Hub team have been incredible partners to us across all of our presentation design needs. They’ve helped us redesign our entire presentation template, bringing a fresh, contemporary and creative look and marrying it with our visual brand in a way I couldn’t have imagined. They are also constantly jumping in on new design projects for us—whether that’s a playbook or event deck. The team works well and works quickly, prioritizing our design needs when we need the work done fast. They just get it when it comes to how we want to visually present information. I couldn’t recommend Midea enough as a presentation design partner.
