Empowering dealerships with self-serve controls to save time and scale faster.
I designed a self-serve control panel for dealerships to customize their automated email marketing—no support tickets required.
Before this tool existed, users had no visibility into what the automated email system was doing. Making changes meant reaching out to support—slowing things down and leaving users in the dark. It wasn’t scalable, and it left clients frustrated.
We wanted to give dealerships full control over their email campaigns: how they looked, who received them, and how often. By surfacing these controls, we aimed to drastically improve the user experience and empower them to make changes instantly.
I led the end-to-end product design for this feature. Starting with sketches and wireframes, I ran internal usability testing to validate flows and get feedback. I worked closely with the PM—who helped stress-test ideas during testing—and the head of product to ensure strategic alignment. Once we had a clear direction, I created high-fidelity designs using our design system, collaborated with engineers on implementation, and led QA before launch.
Let users tweak branding, preview emails, and feel in control—without needing design or dev help.
Made timing fully flexible—from day of week to post-lead delay—while keeping it approachable.
Gave users control over what kinds of emails were sent—making automation feel personal, not generic.
The email settings tool empowered users to fully manage their campaigns for the first time—dramatically reducing support requests and helping the product scale. It turned a hidden feature into a core value prop.
