About
I’m a 🔥 Top Rated Plus 🔥 Senior Email Designer & HTML Developer with 20+ years of experience designing and building high-performing email programs for enterprise and growth-stage brands.
I specialize in email design systems, bullet-proof HTML email development, and lifecycle automation, helping brands scale campaigns and flows without sacrificing brand consistency, deliverability, or performance.
I’ve led email design teams at NYC advertising agencies, run a successful email design consultancy, and partnered with Fortune 100 brands to bring complex email programs to life across ecommerce and B2B.
What I Do Best:
✅ Email design & art direction (campaigns + lifecycle)
✅ Custom HTML email development (responsive, dark-mode aware, client-safe)
✅ Lifecycle & automation emails (flows, journeys, triggered sends)
✅ Cross-client and mobile device QA testing
✅ Translating brand styleguides into scalable email systems
Platforms & ESPs:
I design, build, and deploy emails directly in:
🚀 Klaviyo (campaigns & flows)
🚀 HubSpot (marketing automation & lifecycle)
🚀 Mailchimp
🚀 Salesforce Marketing Cloud
🚀 Marigold Engage (formerly Cheetahmail)
How I Work:
Whether embedded as an individual contributor or collaborating within a larger design or marketing team, I’m known for being highly collaborative, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. I value clear feedback, thoughtful iteration, and building email programs that actually perform—not just look good.
Looking forward to helping you level up your email program.
