Your science untouched. Your message heard.
What physicians tell me before they send a deck.
You already did the hard part. Send the deck; I take it from here.

What changed
Illustration, icon systems and diagrams built for one deck, one slide, one room. You know the medicine; the design work in between is mine.

Your files never enter ChatGPT, Gemini or any public AI tool.
They are handled by one person, shared with no one, and deleted when you ask. Send de-identified slides; if patient details reach me by accident, I remove them and tell you. Checking that the finished deck meets your institution's privacy rules stays with you, the presenter. Files move through a private shared folder created for you, shared with your address only, and deleted with the rest thirty days after delivery.
Tell me the date. A full-deck redesign comes back in 5 business days.
A rush lane at 48 hours exists for the talk that is next week. You get a first pass early, so there is time to say "cleaner" or "less dominant".
No clinical content is altered. Your data, citations and images stay exactly as you supplied them.
What changes is hierarchy, contrast and layout, so the finding lands from the back of the room and survives the questions after.
I turn dense text into visuals and sometimes tighten wording. The message and the point never change, and every original sentence stays recoverable: kept in the speaker notes and in a "source text" appendix at the end of the deck. This happens in Detailed and Comprehensive only, and you can switch it off with one line.
One slide, three steps. It turns from your draft into the finished version as you read.
A slide from a primary-care evening session deck, shown first as the presenter's plain draft, then painted step by step into the redesigned version.
Send one email with the talk date and the venue.
Within a business day you get a private shared folder, shared with your address only. Upload the deck there: PowerPoint, Keynote or PDF, a draft is fine. No attachments, no portal, no account.
Within a few days you get a first pass: a few redesigned slides that set the direction.
Reply in one line, or take a 15-minute call. Then the rest follows and we iterate, your comments and my revisions, until it is right.
The finished deck comes from that back and forth, not a one-shot delivery.
It returns in your original format, fonts embedded, on the package turnaround, every original sentence recoverable. Source files are deleted on request.
You do what you trained for. I do the design work in between.
You save lives. I help you tell the story.
Decks from this studio have been presented at RSNA, the largest radiology meeting in the world, and in rooms from a twenty-person course to national society meetings, and the work has helped a presenter earn committee and board invitations.
Flat prices, agreed before work starts. No hourly meter.
Packages
Image-heavy deck? Image-led slides (one image, a caption, no layout to build) count as half a slide toward the limit. A 60-slide case-based radiology talk usually fits Detailed.
Rush (48 hours, Focused or Detailed) +50%. Extra slides $30–$75 each by package. Prices in CAD, plus applicable taxes.
Focused comes back in 3 business days, Detailed in 5 and Comprehensive in 10, and a 48-hour rush lane exists for Focused and Detailed at +50%.
One email with the talk date and the venue; you then upload the deck (PowerPoint, Keynote or PDF, a draft is fine) to a private folder shared with your address only.
No clinical content is altered: data, citations and images stay as supplied, and where dense text becomes visuals in Detailed and Comprehensive, every original sentence stays recoverable in the speaker notes and an appendix.
Files never enter a public AI tool, are handled by one person, move through a private folder shared with you alone and are deleted thirty days after delivery or sooner on request; checking the finished deck against your institution's privacy rules stays with you.
Yes: resident and fellow teaching series fit the Detailed package, and departments can ask about a retainer through the Consult option.

I'm Dan Kacen. Fifteen years in product management taught me one job: understand the audience, then build the story that meets their expectations and lingers after the room empties.
Since 2023 that work has been for physicians: conference talks, grand rounds, workshops and teaching sessions, always built alongside the presenter. I don't touch the medicine. I make sure the room gets your message.
