Drata Deck Builder

Following Drata's new visual identity launch, I designed and built a comprehensive presentation system to ensure every deck produced across the company was instantly on-brand — without routing through the design team. The system spans a full design system (skill.md, design.md, and supporting documentation), an end-user guide, a Claude skill for teams without direct design tool access, and a parallel Glean agent for users working within Drata's broader AI ecosystem. Together, they handle both new deck creation and the redesign of existing presentations, and connect to content agents that review copy for adherence to messaging, voice, and style guidelines. What started as a marketing team tool has since rolled out company-wide, now used by dozens of people across marketing, sales, customer success, executive, and people teams.

Challenge

Challenge

After a new visual identity launch, the design team faced an unsustainable volume of presentation rebrand requests spanning every team in the company. Decks were being created inconsistently across tools and templates, and the review cycle created bottlenecks that slowed down sales, marketing, executive communications, and customer-facing work. The challenge was building a system scalable enough to serve non-designers across multiple teams and AI platforms, without sacrificing brand quality or requiring design oversight at every step.

Design Solution

Design Solution

I architected the full system from the ground up — developing the design system documentation, user-facing guides, and the logic that powers both the Claude skill and the Glean agent. Rather than building two separate tools, I rearchitected the same core system for each platform, ensuring consistent output regardless of which tool a user accessed. The design system and skill serves the teams with Claude access, while the Glean agent extends the same capability to users already working within Drata's existing integrated AI environment. Both connect with content agents to review decks not just for visual consistency, but for messaging and voice alignment as well.

Outcome

Outcome

The system reduced design team dependency by 80%, freeing the team from manually designing every deck while remaining available for high-stakes polish and review. Deck production time dropped from 4+ hours to under 30 minutes, and users across every level of the organization can now produce on-brand presentations without waiting on a review cycle. The rollout spans marketing, sales, customer success, people, and exec teams — making it one of the most broadly adopted internal tools at Drata and a foundational piece of the company's AI-enabled creative infrastructure.
