Why we exist

We help you create amazing presentations - and still make it to Happy Hour.

There's a misconception that PowerPoint is easy. If you've ever had to use it for real work, you know that's a lie.

We built Nuts & Bolts because the world didn't need another “10 tips” listicle. It needed a game plan - every shortcut, every workflow, every design principle that lets professionals ship great decks without burning their nights and weekends.

PowerPoint doesn't have to be miserable. Let us prove it.

Camille Holden and Taylor Croonquist, co-founders of Nuts & Bolts Speed Training
Who we are

Two minds, one company.

Camille is the design person. She shapes the look, the message, and the why behind every deck. Taylor is the productivity guru. He gives you the how and the practical strategies for building slides effectively.

We started Nuts & Bolts in 2014 because the world needed a different kind of PowerPoint training. Over a decade and 260,000+ professionals later, we're still doing it, and the work has only gotten more relevant.

“Taylor is the nut - the piece that spins, adjusts, finds its fit. Camille is the bolt - the grounded piece that holds it all in place. Together they create the joint that holds.”
