Playing with the Responsive Email Design program, I quickly learned what I could do and couldn't do. There were limitations on what I could do as it was not a tool for "coding" emails from scratch. Within those limitations, I learned how to go around certain things to make the content look the way I wanted it to look like. The program also had many bugs that resulted in unexpected issues, but I found out a way to fix those errors, and build a know-how guide on how to use the program. In certain situations, I used the program's help desk numerous times to figure things out.

After practicing and experimenting with the email building program, the rewarding time finally arrived.  I learned how to manage the program and became comfortable using it on a daily basis. I had a list of tricks on how to fix unexpected issues in the emails. For a year, I owned the monthly newsletters project and polished subsequent emails based on my newly found program expertise. I learned that it was necessary to think about how the emails would look like on different platforms. This email building experience lightened my path to the UX/UI design field.
