Whimsical Design & Illustration for Figo
As the lead in-house designer for Figo Pet Insurance, I work on a range of creative projects that span across multiple platforms—from designing engaging social media posts and blog content to developing email campaigns, innovative ads, landing pages, and collaborating on various PR initiatives I help ensure the brand’s voice is consistent across all touchpoints.
My role, it’s not just about preserving the brand’s established look—it’s about evolving it while keeping its whimsical essence intact. At the heart of Figo’s identity are its playful color palette and unique illustration style, which I continually expand by designing fresh, distinctive artwork that reinforces and elevates the brand’s personality. The focus is always on creating visually striking designs that do more than grab attention—they drive engagement and traffic. Each project is crafted with intention, ensuring it connects with our audience and amplifies the brand’s presence across all platforms.

Campaign: A New Leash On Love
Our team launched A New Leash on Love to celebrate the most important relationship in our lives—our pets. In a world where we're supposedly more connected than ever, modern love is looking a little… bleak. Swiping left, swiping right, yet most of us are still searching for something real. But what if your perfect match has been curled up next to you all along? Timed around National Love Your Pet Day, the campaign featured a giveaway with three pet-themed prizes: a luxury getaway, a fancy dinner for two, and a VIP pet shopping spree.
The true magic of the campaign? Playful, dating app-inspired copy that reimagined pet love as the ultimate love story—loyal, unconditional, and refreshingly drama-free. Flirty one-liners leaned into the humor and heart of modern dating—minus the red flags. To drive engagement and giveaway entries, the team crafted a mix of playful social posts, a targeted ad set, and a dedicated landing page, capturing attention and excitement—because who could resist spoiling their perfect match?

Blog Series: Puptuals
Illustrated ads created to add a dash of whimsy to Figo’s Puptuals blog series, which explores the many ways you can include your furry friends in your wedding day. From curating the perfect pet-friendly registry to soothing an anxious pup and incorporating them into your proposal, Figo has got you covered. These visuals broke free from the sea of boring stock photos, grabbing attention and inviting soon-to-be-wed pet lovers to interact with the brand.
Blog Series: Breed Guides
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Breed Guide series offers a humorous look at the personalities, common health concerns, and histories of some of the most popular dog breeds. To complement the series, we created a playful collection of dog illustrations and quirky items, each designed to highlight the unique characteristics of every breed in a fun, engaging way.
