Kova Welcome Email (Fintech) Brief: Build

Kova Welcome Email (Fintech) Brief: Build a welcome email for a Nigerian fintech brand (deep teal and gold palette) where first-impression trust matters more than usual. What I built: A polished, responsive HTML welcome email on-brand in teal and gold. Along the way I hit a real rendering problem: inline SVG and base64-encoded icons were getting stripped by several major email clients. I solved it by switching to hosted HTTPS image URLs, which is the production-standard fix for icon reliability across inboxes. Outcome: A template that renders consistently rather than silently breaking icons in clients that strip SVG/base64, plus a documented fix I can apply to future projects
