About
I’m a creative director and visual storyteller. For over two decades I’ve simplified complicated concepts into visual stories and messages that connect. From pitch decks that have closed eight-figure deals, to product launches, and full brand guides and systems. It comes down to consistency at every touchpoint.
Kevin Sturmer · Creative Director & Visual Storyteller
The strongest visuals communicate in seconds. That’s the bar that I’ve set my whole career.
The path here
Worked with strong mentors in how to connect with an audience through presentations and reports. The philosophy of, “tell them what you’re going to tell them, tell them, and then tell them what you just told them.”
Truly went head-first into video production and animations. Also led the website and community for an annual wealth study, learning how to keep a community alive and engaged.
The acquisition changed the pattern of my career.
After leading a small, growing team in the U.S., we added members around the world and elevated the visual messaging.
Worked on the small team to rebrand YouGov and co-authored the brand guidelines that are still in use today, all while building studies and deliverables that matched the branding of major companies across multiple verticals.
My freelance creative studio, with projects across UX, podcasts, PowerPoint reports and decks, and social and video deliverables.
End-to-end creative direction across strategy, design, 3D models, video, animations, social, email, and the website. Most recently, I rebuilt POWR2.com from the ground up.
What I do
Setting the story and the look, then holding the whole thing together.

Where the instinct comes from
Before the decks and the 3D models, there was theater. I composed the scores for two produced musicals and performed on a national tour. I know what it takes to have an audience hanging on your every word, and that feel for pacing, inflection, and payoff is in everything I do.
