Hi! I’m Paula, the gal behind SlidesMania.
First off, I am neither a professional designer nor an educator, and I am completely blown away by the incredible support this project has received. Sometimes, simply saying “thank you” just doesn’t feel like enough!
For most of my life, I’ve worked 9-to-6 jobs in finance, constantly surrounded by numbers and structured data. Because of this, my creative side was always trying to break out, and designing templates became a fun hobby to scratch that itch. That’s how SlidesMania was born.
In the beginning, almost all of my templates were for general use. But once I jumped into the Twitterverse and started connecting with amazing educators from all over the world, SlidesMania began to evolve. The ultimate push came during the pandemic. Working remotely for my day job while watching my daughter navigate learning from home, I saw firsthand the organizational chaos we were all struggling with. That inspired me to create templates to make the distance learning journey a little easier—and that’s how the planners, choice boards, and interactive templates came to life.
Today, I am just so happy that my creative outlet gets to help you, even in a small way.
THANK YOU for being such an amazing part of my little world!
Paula.-
