Frequently asked questions
Questions biotech founders ask before hiring a design strategist
-
A biotech design strategist already understands how life science companies are judged. I translate complex science into a story and a visual system that investors, partners, KOLs and future hires understand on first read. I know the difference between a platform story and a pipeline story, and I build one consistent system across your deck, website, conference materials and one pagers, so you never have to project manage five vendors.
-
Before or during your first major raise, usually at pre seed or seed. Many founders wait until Series A, and by then they have made hundreds of first impressions with mismatched materials. Building the system early means every touchpoint, from the first investor meeting to the first conference booth, works together to build credibility.
-
Messaging strategy is the foundation: what makes your science matter, why now, and why your team. Visual design is the system that carries that story across every touchpoint. They only work together. Design without a strong story underneath is decoration. When the story is right, every design choice reinforces it.

The Full Build is a fixed $9,500 for your website, deck, selling documents, social system and rulebook, delivered in six to eight weeks.
-
Yes. A strong deck is not a reskin of old slides. It is a rethink of how the story flows from problem to solution to opportunity, with visuals that support each beat and hold up when the deck is forwarded without you. I also make sure the deck matches your website, one pager and social, so every audience sees the same company.
-
Design amplifies whatever message sits underneath it. If the message is unfocused, even beautiful design will not save it. Starting with the story means every color, slide structure and page layout serves one message. The result is materials that look professional and actually communicate.

Majestic View is led by Michelle Vaira, who has spent 17+ years inside the biotech industry, not as an outside agency looking in. You will not spend time teaching me how biotech works or what a KOL deck needs to do. I build the story first, then design every touchpoint on that foundation, so everything matches and you feel confident in every external moment.
-
The Full Build runs six to eight weeks in four stages: Discovery, Blueprint, Build and Handover.
-
Yes. Majestic View is based in Ponte Vedra, Florida, with deep roots in the Boston biotech ecosystem, and works with biotech companies nationwide. Every engagement runs on a structured remote process built for founders who are already stretched thin.
