Hi, I’m Margot!
I help brands and the people who build them communicate with confidence.
When you need to unify the voice and increase engagement across channels (or at your biggest annual event!) bring me in to see results.
IN GOOD COMPANYCompanies
You’re ready to connect with your audience, but you realized something:
- You need a more strategic approach.
- Online, it means you need guidance for content development that brings your team together to manifest your brand in a concrete and operational way.
- Moreover, you need an expert who can help you instill structure in a sustainable way.
- On stage, it means you need a speaker who’s an expert at the craft and can provide both compelling inspiration and the actionable insights to make it real.
- You need someone who can help your audience envision castles in the air and then embrace a wealth of examples to put foundations under them.
- You need Margot Bloomstein.
Before there was PowerPoint, there was Posterboard!
I was the kid who constantly needed to express herself.
Visually and verbally, from the time I was little, I thrilled at any medium of expression. Paints? Poems? Let me get into the weeds. And if I got to be at a mic, all the better.
Whether I was in a spelling bee or the school play, I loved being on stage—and I’d gladly stick around after rehearsals to paint the sets if I wasn’t running off to work on the school newspaper.
Words and images both mattered to me, so in high school I started putting together a portfolio to apply to art schools. A mentor told me design was “like art you could make money at,” and there it was: a discipline with enough structure for this Virgo.
As it turned out, design as a form of problem solving taught me structure, pattern recognition skills, and the curiosity to ask questions and engage as a consultant.
Today, I still explore the world as a designer and creative director, solving problems by both visual and verbal means.
I thrill at helping my clients express themselves… and still love connecting with an audience from a mic as well.
A trusted advisor, providing advice and meaningful connections.
Margot developed Women Talk Design’s message architecture. She’s continued to be a trusted advisor, providing advice and meaningful connections. She’s been a guest facilitator for our public speaking programs, delivered captivating talks for our community, and recently contributed an essay to our public speaking book. I leave calls with Margot feeling optimistic, energized, and supported. And I always think, “Gosh, I should call Margot more often.”

Engaging audiences and other lessons from the county fair
Getting the attention of an audience is hard. But as I learned in 4-H, getting the attention of a walking, talking, moving audience, distracted and eager to see the racing pig exhibition? Even harder, an experience I wrote about in Present Yourself, the public speaking anthology from Women Talk Design.
