Overview

EveryDollar is a budgeting app rooted in zero-based budgeting principles, helping users assign every dollar they earn toward bills, entertainment, savings, and more. The goal? End the month with zero unassigned funds—on purpose.

As part of Ramsey Solutions' internal creative team, I led design efforts across product campaigns, evergreen content, and seasonal marketing to enhance brand consistency, user engagement, and conversion.

Problem

Despite its robust budgeting functionality, EveryDollar struggled with low visual engagement and needed a more consistent and compelling design approach across its marketing channels.

Key challenges:

  • Outdated or inconsistent visuals across ads, emails, and app messaging

  • Missed engagement opportunities during key promotional windows like Black Friday

  • Limited evergreen assets that could be repurposed year-round

My Approach

I worked closely with the marketing and product teams to deliver campaigns that were both high-performing and on-brand. This included developing new visual systems, reusable design components, and motion assets to support ongoing campaigns.

Work Highlights

Evergreen Design System

Created a reusable design system for social and email campaigns that allowed the team to maintain visual consistency while moving fast.

  • Developed branded illustration styles and templates

  • Created modular email layouts for rapid deployment

  • Built a library of evergreen social and ad graphics for year-round use

Black Friday Campaign

Designed a high-converting Black Friday campaign focused on simplicity and urgency.

  • Created static and animated ads optimized for performance

  • Designed email series to support campaign messaging

  • Reinforced app value through clean, focused visuals

Results

  • Significantly increased trial starts during the Black Friday window

  • Boosted engagement on email and social by leveraging stronger visual hooks

  • Set a new visual standard for future product marketing efforts
