  • clarity and performance

The Work

The Work

This project focused on designing a series of campaign emails that needed to work across:

  • different campaign types

  • varying content structures

  • multiple screen sizes

  • evolving brand needs

Each email needed to be:

  • immediately scannable

  • visually engaging

  • aligned with PayPal’s design system

The Challenge

Campaign emails need to stand out — without sacrificing clarity.

Across campaigns, common challenges included:

  • dense or competing information

  • inconsistent layouts across emails

  • maintaining brand consistency at speed

  • designing for responsiveness across devices

Outcome

Reflection

Designing for responsiveness

Emails were optimized for multiple devices:

  • desktop

  • tablet

  • mobile

Layouts were designed to:

  • adapt without breaking hierarchy

  • maintain readability

  • preserve CTA visibility

Scaling the system

Rather than treating each email as a one-off,
design decisions were made to support repeatability.

This included:

  • reusable layout structures

  • flexible content blocks

  • consistent spacing and typography

Outcome

The work resulted in:

  • consistent, production-ready email designs across campaigns

  • improved clarity and usability in email communication

  • scalable patterns that supported faster iteration

  • stronger alignment between brand and performance

Reflection

Designing campaign emails is not just about visuals —
it’s about communicating clearly in constrained environments.

The goal was to create designs that:

  • stand out

  • remain usable

  • and scale across campaigns
