Pixel-perfect email that looks right in every inbox.

I hand-code every email — tables, inline styles, Outlook conditionals so it renders correctly in Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail. I also build it into the platform that actually sends it: Salesforce, Pardot, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Virtuous, NGP and ActionKit.

Every email is QA tested in Litmus and Email on Acid before it gets scheduled.

About

I've been building emails, surveys and landing pages since 2021. I hand-code templates in HTML and CSS, then test them in Litmus and Email on Acid so they render correctly in Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail. I've worked in Salesforce, Pardot, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Virtuous, DotDigital, NGP, Bonterra, and ActionKit, for non-profit and political organizations. I love bowling, gardening, and lifting heavy circles.

Selected Work

Personal projects. Each email is a recreation of an email from my own inbox, built to show my work from my own prebuilt template. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any of the brands shown.

Fungi Perfecti Extracts Email

Marketing email for Fungi Perfecti promoting their Host Defense® Mushroom Extracts, developed using a custom, reusable HTML email template with responsive and client-safe styling.

Problem

I received this promotional email as a subscriber and rebuilt it. This is not client work for the Fungi Perfecti brand. The problem is always matching the original layout here with my existing template.

Approach

Produced as a 600px table-based layout with MSO conditional markup for Outlook, responsive breakpoints down to 400px, and it works for dark-mode inboxes.

Stack

HTML email tables, Inline CSS, MSO conditional comments, CSS media queries, prefers-color-scheme

Result

A responsive, dark-mode-ready email with 6 images and alt text, 3 content blocks, and a clean layout that renders correctly across Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail. Just looking at the email may boost your health and immunity.

Warhammer 40K News

Newsletter-style email for Warhammer 40K hobbyists, combining news, inspiration, and featured content in a clean, readable email format.

Problem

I subscribe to this newsletter and rebuilt it as a practice piece with my own template. Not client work for Games Workshop. The challenge was matching the content blocks and making the buttons work in Outlook.

Approach

I built a modular table layout with MSO conditional column stacking for the content blocks, VML roundrect buttons so CTAs stay bulletproof in Outlook, a {{FirstName}} personalization token with fallback, and an animated GIF section.

Stack

HTML email tables, VML (Outlook bulletproof buttons), MSO conditional comments, CSS media queries, Personalization merge tags

Result

A beautifully responsive newsletter email with 6 content blocks, 12 images with alt text, and a dark mode block for inboxes that support it. For the Emperor!

MyProtein Order Confirmation

Order-delivered transactional email for MyProtein. Built with the same clean template as the other projects. It confirms delivery, summarizes the order, and points to the app, SMS sign-up, and referrals.

Problem

I got this order confirmation as a customer and rebuilt it using my production-ready template. This is not client work for MyProtein. The toughest part of this email was reproducing this email with the same responsive, dark-mode-ready structure as the other templates.

Approach

Used the same responsive table structure and breakpoints as the other emails as it was built using that same basic template. The delivery tracking is an animated GIF, and the app download, SMS sign-up, and referral badges are plain linked images.

Stack

HTML email tables, Inline CSS, CSS media queries, prefers-color-scheme, Animated GIF

Result

A responsive muscle building email that renders correctly across the big three inbox clients (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail), with 8 images and alt text, a dark mode block, and a 600px table layout. Also made some gains while hitting my protein macros.
