We’re 9! Reflecting on the Visual Hackers Journey

Nine years ago, I started Visual Hackers with a simple idea: to help people tell better stories through better design.

Back then, it was just me, a laptop, and the belief that design could do more than make things “look nice.” It could make ideas stick. Today, we’re a global design agency that has worked with over 250 clients, completed more than 1,000 projects, and helped raise $1.5 billion through the decks and visuals we’ve designed.

And now, as we celebrate 9 years in business, I want to take a moment to reflect on the lessons, the growth, and what’s next.

From our very first presentation project in 2016 to the international clients we work with today, one thing has never changed: our passion for making complex things simple, visual, and engaging.

We've worked on:

✅ Investor pitch decks that helped close funding rounds

✅ Infographics and reports that simplify big ideas

✅ B2B marketing visuals that drive clarity and consistency

✅ Hands-on workshops and consulting for founders, marketers, and teams

It’s been incredible to see how visual storytelling can create real impact.

A Global Agency, Rooted in Romania

We’re based in Bucharest, Romania, but we collaborate across borders daily. Our clients span tech startups in the U.S., nonprofits in Europe, healthcare companies in Asia, and everything in between.

Working globally has taught us how to design for different audiences, industries, and cultures—and it’s something we truly love about this work.

What We’re Known For

Here’s what clients often come to us for:

  • Pitch decks with real impact
    We’ve helped companies raise more than $1.5 billion using decks we crafted—something we’re proud of, and never take for granted.

  • B2B design that scales
    From brand-aligned social media visuals to high-stakes reports and eBooks, we bring design consistency to growing teams.

  • Workshops and consulting
    Whether it’s a founder prepping for their first pitch or a marketing team refining a story, we guide and coach with clarity and care.

 A Big Thank You

To our clients: Thank you for trusting us with your stories.
To our collaborators and partners: Thank you for being part of our creative journey.
To our team: You are the heart of Visual Hackers. I couldn’t be prouder.

This milestone belongs to all of us.

What’s Next?

As we approach our 10-year anniversary, we’re excited about:

  • Redefining our services to offer curated help for our clients needs

  • Exploring how AI and automation can enhance (not replace) creative work

  • Growing our consulting and strategy services to partner even earlier in the storytelling process

Our mission remains the same: to simplify, amplify, and humanize ideas—visually.

Let’s Keep Building Together

Whether we’ve worked together in the past or you’re just discovering us now, I’d love to connect.

Here’s to what we’ve built so far—and to everything ahead.
