Her sense for color and design, combined with her expertise in brand clarity, positioning, and creative strategy, translated my values into a cohesive and meaningful visual identity.
What made working with Marie stand out was her ability to bring strategy and creativity together, offering clarity and calm through complex decisions. The result is a brand and online presence that feels authentic and confident, and that presents our team with pride.” — Dr. Claudia Kanduth

“The entire experience was outstanding. Marie delivered exactly the type of high-impact slides I needed to bring the storytelling to life and engage the audience.”
“I’ve been a professional speaker for about 10 years, and creating the right slides to support my message is always a challenge. That’s why I hired Marie Burrell to design the presentation deck for my keynote, ‘Winning as an Underdog’.
The entire experience was outstanding. Marie from Pivot Row delivered exactly the type of high-impact slides I needed to bring the storytelling to life and engage the audience. Marie helped translate my keynote message into a clear, compelling presentation that strengthened the overall impact of the talk. She brought structure to the narrative, clarity to the storytelling, and strategic intent to how the content was presented on stage.
She was incredibly responsive, easy to collaborate with, and consistently delivered results on time. She understood the purpose of the keynote, made thoughtful decisions quickly, and delivered a presentation that supported both the message and the audience experience.
I highly recommend her to anyone looking for strategic communication support, not just polished visuals, top-tier presentation design, clear storytelling, and seamless collaboration.” — JJ Birden
