Unspam 2025 - Design Trend for 2025
In April 2025, I had the opportunity to speak at the Unspam Conference in Baltimore, where I presented a talk titled “Inbox Icons: Email Design Trends of 2025.”
This presentation is a visual deep dive into the email design trends that are defining 2025. I explored some of the most eye-catching (and even eyebrow-raising) emails out there—curated, categorized, and lovingly critiqued. The talk unpacked what makes these designs work, and how they draw from timeless design principles artists have used for centuries. Whether someone’s a seasoned pro or just looking for inspiration, this session offered practical ideas to elevate email creative and ride the wave of what’s trending next.
