— Overview

Avon is a global beauty company specializing in cosmetics, skincare, and personal care products, known for its wide range of innovative beauty solutions.

I led design and creative direction for Avon’s lifecycle email system, transforming weekly campaigns into a consistent, high-performing channel that strengthened engagement and drove repeat purchases across a multi-brand ecosystem.

— Challenge

Avon’s email channel was high-volume, so emails needed to deliver clarity, performance, and creativity - at scale.

I also needed to:

  • Maintain creative quality across frequent, fast-paced promotions

  • Create consistency across multiple partner brands

  • Align email with broader marketing efforts across web and paid

— Solution

Design a lifecycle email system that combins structured journeys, elevated creative, and scalable design.

— Ideation & Design

My approach was to treat emails as a product experience - not just a marketing asset.

Templates were designed to:

  • Guide users quickly toward action

  • Balance storytelling with conversion

  • Reinforce a consistent, recognizable brand experience

— Research & Insights

Key patterns were clear:

  • Simple hierarchy outperformed dense, content-heavy layouts

  • Focused CTAs increased engagement and click-through

  • Visual consistency built familiarity and trust over time

These insights directly shaped both layout decisions and system design.

— Design Explorations

Explored a range of directions to find the right balance:

  • Editorial storytelling vs. promotion-driven layouts

  • Product-first vs. content-led structures

  • CTA placement, density, and visual hierarchy variations

The result was a system that felt intentional, flexible, and scalable.

— Execution

Solutions that stuck:

  • Modular components that enabled fast, repeatable campaign builds

  • Strong visual hierarchy to guide attention and action

  • Balanced layouts combining product, content, and brand storytelling

  • Consistent design language across all campaigns

— Outcome

A more intentional, scalable lifecycle email system that strengthened both brand experience and business performance.


Key Results:

  • +14% increase in email performance

  • Increased repeat purchase behavior across lifecycle journeys

  • Improved consistency across multi-brand campaigns

  • Faster campaign production through scalable systems

— Learnings

What I learned:

  • Lifecycle design is about building habits, not just driving clicks

  • Strong systems are what make high-quality design sustainable

  • Small, consistent touchpoints can drive meaningful long-term impact

What matters isn’t the open. It’s the return.

— Earlier Work

Lifecycle email design has been a consistent part of my work at Avon, evolving from campaign execution into more scalable, performance-driven systems.
