The Doodle Revolution at Duarte Design

Sunni Brown at Duarte from Duarte Design on Vimeo.

Nancy Duarte, CEO of Duarte Design, is rapidly becoming one of my heroes. She’s not only intelligent, beautiful and driven, but she also has a humility and heart of gold you don’t see often in people at her level. Her firm designs presentations for people who know how to tell a damn good visual story – people like Al Gore and countless of the TED presenters. So I’m delighted to know her and learn from her and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to speak about The Doodle Revolution at her company in Silicon Valley. The slides I presented to them, mortifyingly, were slides I designed for my talk at TEDx UT because Nancy and her VP of HR asked me to do a presentation while I was on vacation. The only slides I had access to were from a talk to another crowd at another time. The horror of not being able to customize a presentation for the world’s pre-eminent presentation design firm was unspeakable. But what the hell. I made do. And Nancy told me later that her employees are a notoriously tough crowd to move, so she was happy with their response. And if Nancy’s happy, I’m happy. So with that, I give you another version of The Doodle Revolution.
