Email design systems

I create scalable email design systems using mobile-first, responsive templates and modular components that balance consistency with campaign flexibility. I approach email design with the customer journey in mind, ensuring each touchpoint strengthens the brand experience and drives engagement. I utilize data-driven insights to continuously improve the design system. I also partner closely with email operations teams to build, test, and QA templates, ensuring strong design execution across devices and platforms.

Pluralsight Emails

At Pluralsight, I developed a comprehensive email component library in Figma with modular content sections and template starters. This new design system followed email best-practices and allowed the team to move faster while creating consistency. I implemented new processes and ways of working to allow us to carefully consider how each touchpoint contributes to the overall brand experience and user engagement.

TaxAct
Email design system

At TaxAct, I developed a best-in-class email design system with mobile-first, responsive templates and modular content sections to create efficiencies and flexibility for all email work. I implemented learnings and continued to iterate and refine the design system and continue to push the email designs further. Working in close partnership with email strategy team, I helped elevate the overall CRM program in which we were able to turn around TaxAct's negative Retention and Win-back results and ended April 2023 with a record-breaking year.
