Design and Coding

I design and code Yankee Candle and WoodWick emails for the Home Fragrance division of Newell Brands. I work with the DTC team, creating the visual design from submitted content briefs, seeing through the proofing process, coding in Dreamweaver and uploading the final images and code to Salesforce Marketing Cloud for scheduled deployment.
