Jeremine Holt is a passionate presentation designer, illustrator, and a Prezi trainer. She lives in Rotterdam, Holland and knows how to successfully combine entrepreneurship and being a single mum. Since she started her graphic design business in 1999, she's also been teaching about design software and the design process to students, adults, and children. She is always on the lookout for chances to create authentic visual communication with preferably multiple layers of meaning. Therefore, being just a graphic designer (http://www.westenwindontwerp.nl) wasn't enough. She did elaborate research on visualization methods that can be used to improve the results of change management. Her conclusion is that visualizing change and showing where an organization wants to go and how to get there is very effective. It gets people engaged and motivated.

While looking for the best way to present her visualizations, she discovered Prezi in 2010. She realized that Prezi isn't just a tool. When used in the right way, it can be a motor for creativity, innovation, and visual thinking.

Since then, she's been teaching Prezi and creating visual presentations (http://www.thepreziexperience.nl). Jeremine has, for example, worked for Rotterdam's city manager, for the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment, and for the international consultancy firm, Auren.

These days, she's further developing her business in presentation design and visual content creation. It's her mission to build as many bridges as possible between creativity and the business world.
