Toyota email campaign
Creating email designs that are both visually appealing and functional requires close collaboration with designers. During this project, I worked closely with the design team, providing feedback to ensure the email was compatible with all devices and email clients. Through this back-and-forth, I helped refine the design into a professional, accessible, and fully responsive email that met the campaign’s goals.
