Luther Blanton

I am a Senior Product Designer and Email Developer with over 20 years of experience specializing in the high-fidelity intersection of UI/UX design and complex email engineering. I bridge the gap between creative vision and technical execution for mission-driven organizations and global enterprise brands.

Selected Career Highlights:

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum: Served as Lead Product Designer, owning the technical and creative lifecycle of the museum’s email products and architecting a modular design system to standardize global communication.

Nike: Part of the core engineering team that redeveloped Nike’s global transactional email suite, supporting 36 languages and 62 dialects within a complex SFMC environment.

General Motors: Member of the technical team responsible for the OnStar email rebrand and redevelopment across the global GM product suite.

GoDaddy: Facilitated the technical migration of all domain registration emails from a proprietary legacy system to Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

In Orbit Labs: Founder of a creative technology studio dedicated to bringing enterprise-grade automation and design systems to high-growth brands.

Where I provide the most value:

I specialize exclusively in the design and development of email campaigns (promotional, transactional, and automated) and high-conversion landing pages. My focus is on building scalable modular component libraries that allow teams to move faster while maintaining absolute brand integrity.

My Professional Focus:

To provide the highest level of expertise to my partners, I maintain a strict focus on Email UI/UX Design and Technical Email Development (HTML/CSS/AMPscript). I specialize in the unique constraints of the inbox—mastering cross-client rendering, accessibility, and the logic required to power complex, data-driven dynamic content.

Yes: I am your go-to partner for bespoke email design, custom-coded templates, and building scalable systems in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Emarsys, and Klaviyo.

No: To stay focused on my core strengths, I do not take on roles involving marketing strategy, data segmentation, SQL/backend architecture, or journey building.

Work Preferences:

I am a dedicated remote professional and am only open to remote-first opportunities where I can contribute 25+ years of design-to-code expertise to a forward-thinking team.
