Building the company-wide PowerPoint template

Written By Kat Chen

After designing the keynote presentation for FreeWheel’s industry conference, I refreshed the company’s general PowerPoint template to align with the new branding I had developed. The template introduces a broader range of slide options and layouts, all designed to capture the look and feel of FreeWheel’s latest brand campaign.

The redesign emphasizes modernity and refinement, drawing inspiration from Swiss design principles and Apple’s clean, intentional aesthetic.

To ensure the template met real user needs, I analyzed how employees use PowerPoint—from pitch decks to internal standups—and tailored the design accordingly by:

  • Developing new layouts and containers to better organize information

  • Replacing outdated imagery with flexible, ambient backgrounds

  • Providing clear guidelines for incorporating iconography

  • Refining typography to support longer titles and stronger cover slides

  • Refreshing stock photography to better reflect our consumer base

  • Allowing flexibility for users to mix and match layouts and colors while staying on brand
