Accredible supports millions of learners and thousands of organizations issuing digital credentials globally.
While credentials were being issued successfully, engagement after issuance was fragmented, manual, and dependent on external tools—breaking the credentialing loop.

My Role

Senior Product Designer — UX lead across multiple phased releases
Led the product UX from concept to scale, partnering closely with Product and Engineering to define strategy, phase delivery, and design a system built for long-term extensibility.

How it started?

Credential issuers lacked control over:

  • Who to contact

  • When to reach learners

  • Why a message was sent

  • How to measure its impact

Existing tools were limited to static email templates, with no audience segmentation, triggers, automation, or insights—resulting in missed engagement, renewals, and growth opportunities.


The Solution

Designed Email Campaigns, a scalable engagement system that allows issuers to:

  • Define audiences using learner and credential behavior

  • Set event-based triggers (publish, view, expiry, inactivity)

  • Select email and SMS templates aligned with campaign goals

  • Activate, schedule, pause, and iterate campaigns

  • Track performance through real-time engagement insights

The system was delivered in phases:

  • MVP campaign builder (audience, trigger, template)

  • Campaign insights and performance tracking

  • Advanced email template editor

  • SMS support alongside email

  • Find Campaigns: a library of pre-built, best-practice campaigns

All designed as a future-proof engine, capable of supporting multi-step logic and advanced automation.

Outcome

Transformed Accredible from a credential issuer into a full engagement platform—closing the credentialing loop and positioning Accredible as the system of record for learner communication, engagement, and growth.
