About Garr Reynolds and Presentation Zen:
Garr Reynolds is a best-selling author, designer and professor based in Japan. He is Director of Design Matters Japan. He began the Presentation Zen blog in 2005, and published the first edition of the Presentation Zen book in 2008, followed by the highly successful Presentation Zen Design and The Naked Presenter.
Garr’s approach takes lessons and principles from Japanese culture, particularly restraint, simplicity and naturalness, and applies them to typical presentations given in conferences and the workplace. The result is a refreshingly new way of presenting, much more effective and enjoyable.
