Overview

Ramsey+ is a subscription-based platform offering tools, apps, and resources to help people take control of their finances. Built on the principles of common-sense money management, the product supports budgeting, debt payoff, and long-term financial planning.

As Art Director, I helped shape the visual identity and marketing experience of Ramsey+, from foundational branding to multi-channel campaigns that drove awareness, adoption, and engagement.

The Challenge

The goal was to launch and evolve a digital product that felt bold, personal, and accessible—while distinguishing itself from legacy Ramsey branding. The product needed to:

  • Establish a unique visual identity for a younger, tech-savvy audience

  • Drive subscriptions through compelling storytelling and campaigns

  • Maintain design consistency across product, email, web, and social

My Role

I directed and executed visual design across multiple touchpoints of the Ramsey+ experience, collaborating closely with product managers, developers, and marketers to build a brand ecosystem that resonated with both loyal fans and new users.
