eBay / Ephraim Joseph Project

Email Design System, Creative & Content Strategy

Plug and play email design system driving consistency while allowing creativity to shine bright, for the biggest market place on earth.

Over the past 7 years, my teams have developed global email design systems for eBay. The objective is to streamline and standardize the design, development, and quality assurance processes for global marketing email campaigns, spanning over 7 languages. Our latest Global Email Design System not only saves eBay significant resources and money through heightened efficiency but also enhances brand integrity. This is achieved by ensuring that all components and modules meet the highest design standards, including accessibility, optimized for both light and dark modes. With these design components and plug-and-play modules in place, we can allocate our efforts towards creative endeavors, such as selecting the ideal color palette, imagery, and crafting compelling copy that resonates with the audience. Through scalable personalization, we tailor our communication to meet the unique needs of every customer, fostering meaningful connections between eBay and its users, resulting in increased engagement and enhanced conversion rates. The design system, developed in close collaboration with eBay's esteemed global product design team using Figma, reduces development time by 30% and quality assurance time by 50%.
