Hiring an email designer: What you need to know
When should I hire an email designer?
Hire one when campaigns look inconsistent, your team rebuilds every email from scratch, flows still use default templates, or emails break on mobile and in dark mode. A designer gives you a reusable system.
What skills should I look for in an email designer?
Look for a DTC email portfolio, strong Figma skills including components, and hands-on Klaviyo experience. They should design mobile-first, balance live text with imagery, and test across Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook and dark mode.
How much does it cost to hire an email designer?
Campaign designs typically cost $100-$500 per email, depending on complexity. A modular template system or flow redesign often runs $2,000-$8,000, and ongoing design retainers usually sit around $2,000-$6,000 per month.

Common Questions
Still not sure? Book a demo
How is an email designer different from a Klaviyo email expert?
A Klaviyo email expert owns segmentation, flow logic, testing and revenue reporting. An email designer owns how emails look and read on screen, from templates to campaign creative. Many brands pair them, with the designer handing finished templates to the Klaviyo expert.
Do email designers build the emails in Klaviyo too?
Many do. Some deliver Figma designs and sliced images for your team to assemble, while others build directly in Klaviyo's editor or code custom HTML templates. Confirm the handoff format upfront so the quote covers design, build and testing.
Can they work with platforms other than Klaviyo?
Yes. The core skills transfer to Omnisend, Mailchimp, Attentive, Postscript and Shopify Email. Share your stack when you describe the project, and Storetasker will match you with designers who have built templates on that platform.
Should we pay per email or on a monthly retainer?
Per-email or project pricing suits a template system, flow redesign or BFCM push. A monthly retainer suits brands sending several campaigns a week that need steady design capacity. On Storetasker, project quotes include price, timeline and scope upfront.
What should we provide to get started?
Share brand guidelines, fonts, logo files, product photography, a few emails you admire and your current templates. A limited Klaviyo user role lets the designer build and preview templates without access to billing or account settings.
How do you make sure emails look right in every inbox?
Good designers preview every template on desktop and mobile, in light and dark mode, and across Gmail, Apple Mail and Outlook, often using inbox testing tools. They also keep key text live rather than baked into images.
Can they handle BFCM and big launches on tight timelines?
Yes, but book early. Strong designers fill up before Black Friday and holiday peaks. Ideally lock in creative direction and templates six to eight weeks ahead, so final campaigns are mostly copy, product and offer swaps.
