Best-of Awards 
2023 & 2024

Best-of Awards is NerdWallet’s annual roundup of the top financial products of the year. I led the design and art direction for both the 2023 and 2024 campaigns, building the visual toolkit, landing page strategy and design, paid ads, CRM flows, and all supporting campaign assets.

The design intent was to balance eye-catching visuals that break consumers out of analysis paralysis with imagery that builds trust and credibility. This led to “ExtraordiNerdy”—a vibrant, high-energy system paired with authentic Nerd portraits and a bold-plus-editorial typography mix that highlighted key financial terminology.

The high-performing landing page wireframe and strategy I created drove a +217% increase in registration rates and a +39% lift in mClicks across two years, and it continues to be used for Best-of 2025.
