Darla Wigginton
Darla's years as a presentation designer have included designing for tech, social media, education, finance, healthcare, blockchain, retail, pharmaceutical, e-commerce, cyber security, fashion, and the performing arts.
Her superpower is understanding what it takes to tell a story in a compelling way, while having the experience to juggle all the complexities of getting it there.
Her approach to presentation design is built on developing partnerships with people who span all areas of a business, from sales teams to C-suite, from solo business owners to large event management teams.
​
Darla uses a strategic system for project intake and management, and iterates in a way that delivers creative and compelling stories and designs.
​
Her early career as a professional classical singer (with companies like San Francisco Opera and SF Symphony) have shaped the way she designs presentations and tells stories visually. The skills learned and honed in decades of onstage performances have helped her bring the same creativity and passion for world-class experiences to her clients.
