Email Design Template
Project Overview
Designed a personal-brand email newsletter to share milestones, services, free resources, and drive users toward a 1:1 booking.
Objective
Create an email that communicates personal and business milestones, builds credibility through social proof, highlights useful design resources, and promotes paid services without making the email feel overly promotional; encourages readers to book a 1:1 session
My Role: Email UX + Visual Design
I worked on the content hierarchy, layout, visual system, responsive structure, and CTA placement to create an email that is easy to scan and works across desktop and mobile.
Design Approach
1. Strong narrative flow
The email moves from:
Introduction → Problems → Social proof → Resources → Services → CTA → Closing
The opening immediately frames the user's problem around resumes and portfolios before introducing the solution.
2. Social proof as a credibility layer
The 91+ bookings milestone and most-booked service appear early to build trust before asking users to take action.
3. Modular content blocks
Different sections are visually separated into reusable modules for achievements, data, free templates, and the Topmate profile. This makes the email easier to scan and easier to adapt for future campaigns.
4. Clear visual hierarchy
Large editorial-style headings, contrasting backgrounds, iconography, and short content blocks help users quickly understand each section. The visual system uses a dark green, mint, and lavender palette with Georgia/Arial typography.
5. Responsive-first structure
The template includes responsive behaviour that stacks multi-column sections on smaller screens, helping preserve readability on mobile.n.
Outcome: Created a reusable, responsive email template that combines storytelling, credibility, resource sharing, and conversion into one cohesive experience. The template can be adapted for future newsletters, personal-brand updates, product announcements, or service promotions.

I created this 5-slide Instagram campaign for GO CRAZY, a fictional contemporary accessories brand focused on handbags and jewelry.
I created the campaign for a real fashion brand clean, confident, editorial, and wearable. I focused on product storytelling, strong typography, natural photography, and a consistent visual identity across each slide.

Setsu 4.0 Floral Ankle Boot — Product Launch Video
Laidback London Footwear
A 6-shot cinematic product video created to launch the Setsu 4.0 Floral Ankle Boot for Laidback London. The concept was built around a slow, sensory reveal — teasing the product before showing it in full, then guiding the viewer through its key details before closing on a clean brand moment.
Creative approach:
The video opens with a partial, moody teaser shot before revealing the boot in full with soft studio lighting and a subtle camera orbit to establish it as the hero product. From there, the video moves into a series of macro feature highlights — the shearling-lined interior, the hand-embroidered floral detailing, and the chunky treaded platform sole — each shot with slow, deliberate camera movement and warm, directional lighting to emphasize texture and craftsmanship. A lifestyle sequence grounds the product in a real-world autumn/winter setting, showing the boot in motion. The video closes on a clean, brand-forward final frame with logo and tagline.
What I delivered:
- Full shot-by-shot creative direction (camera movement, lighting, pacing) for a 6-scene product story
- On-screen copy and callouts highlighting key product features and benefits
- A cohesive visual narrative moving from teaser → hero reveal → feature details → lifestyle context → brand close
- Styling aligned to the brand's aesthetic: warm, artisanal, "crafted for the free spirit"
Result: A polished, scroll-stopping product video built to highlight craftsmanship and drive interest in the Setsu 4.0 boot across social and e-commerce placements.
A business website can look beautiful and still leave people unsure about what to do next.
I've seen this happen with service businesses.
Beautiful photos.
Good branding.
A long list of services.
But the visitor is still wondering:
“What exactly do they help with?”
“Is this right for me?”
“How much does it cost?”
“What happens after I book?”
“Who is this actually for?”
For a business business, clarity matters because people aren't always making an impulsive purchase.
They're deciding whether they feel comfortable trusting you with something personal.
That's why good website design isn't just about making things look polished.
The information needs to feel easy to understand.
The path from:
“I'm interested” → “I understand” → “I'm comfortable” → “I'll take the next step”
shouldn't feel complicated.
Your website doesn't need to say everything.
It needs to say the right things clearly.

Exactly this. If a visitor has to guess what you actually do or how much it costs they won't explore they'll leave.
