Nice words

Here’s what my some of my wonderful clients have to say…

"Emma worked on an email redesign project with us. I was really impressed with Emma's approach to design, she is truly a Figma whizz and email teams the world over could learn a thing or two from her workflows! Always super responsive but also extremely relaxed to work with too. Emma really understood the brief and came up with suggestions which will carry us forward too."

Rachel
Senior CRM Manager, Symprove

"From the very beginning, she slotted seamlessly into the squad, demonstrating agility, strong communication skills, and an ability to manage our fast moving environment with ease. Her organisation and self-driven approach ensured that our email rebranding project ran smoothly, and the results were nothing short of outstanding.”

Melanie
Head of Retention, Hertility

“From designing our lifecycle emails and BAU email campaigns, Emma has helped us evolve our brand design and copy, applying her e-commerce expertise to improve our click through rates and open rates. She has never missed a deadline and is often ahead of schedule on all projects.”

Dallas
Bleach LDN

"100% recommend working with Emma. We were on a mission to make emails sexy (tough) and she smashed it. Super thorough, thoughtful, on it and not scared of a quick turnaround. Hope we can bring some words to life together again soon."

Ellen
Mojo Men

"Emma developed our email designs, delivering beyond expectations and working as an extension of our team. She quickly builds relationships and combines design acumen with Klaviyo expertise, going above and beyond in a short space of time."

Lily
Head of Brand, Symprove

“Emma is an outstanding designer who always brings creative flair and imagination to her projects. She's very organised, proactive, and shares tips and tricks with the team. I'd really recommend working with her!”

Rachel
Head of Brand & Creative | NOTHS

"Best f*cking emails I’ve ever seen come out of the studio."

Emily

Questions you might have

PROJECTS

Email Design Systems, BAU campaigns, and flows are designed in Figma, with tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or After Effects used where needed. Emails are then built in your chosen ESP using live text and imagery. Content blocks are mirrored from Figma for ease of use.

Most major ESPs can be supported, including Klaviyo, Salesforce, Braze, Customer.io, and Ometria. While interfaces differ, the underlying email build principles are largely the same.

As a general guide, BAU campaigns can be turned around in anything from a few hours to a few days, depending on feedback. Email Design Systems and flows typically take several weeks. Timelines are agreed upfront once the brief is reviewed and are dependent on scope and complexity.

GETTING STARTED

Fill out your details via our booking page and schedule a discovery call. I know, I know. Discovery call? Yuck, am I right? Don’t worry, it isn’t a sales pitch.  We’ll chat all things email, maybe even bitch about Outlook and see if we’re a good fit (again, yucky words, but it makes sense), we’ll get you booked in.

A brief outlining email requirements, copy, assets, and brand information helps ensure designs are aligned and engaging. If you need assistance with workflow or copy, we can discuss that during our call – always happy to help!

My day rate is £450 +VAT. Rolling BAU support and larger projects are scoped based on deliverables and complexity. If you’re looking for pay-per-email, you’re in the wrong place.
