Designer

Duarte creates presentations and offers training based on our unique VisualStory™ methodology, which applies storytelling and visual thinking to craft persuasive communications designed to shift audience beliefs and behaviors.

We dissect complex stories, digest information and visual story challenges, and make the best visuals and stories for audiences around the world to see. If you believe in these things.
