Experience
Premier Lacrosse League, Inc.

I optimized the product filtering system, ensuring accurate search results and enhancing discoverability. Additionally, I developed a custom checkout extension to streamline the purchasing process and fixed cart display issues for a seamless shopping experience. To improve search efficiency, I implemented multi-parameter search functionality, resulting in a 30% increase in successful searches. I also integrated dynamic product updates on the collection page, allowing automatic price and stock status changes based on variant selection and improving inventory accuracy. My expertise in Shopify development significantly enhanced the store’s usability, functionality, and overall efficiency, providing a smoother and more intuitive shopping experience for customers.
Soul Chocolate
https://www.soulchocolate.comI worked closely with their team to translate their design vision from Figma mockups into a user-friendly and engaging online experience.
My main goal was to make shopping on the Soul Chocolate website a breeze. This meant streamlining the checkout process, making product browsing and selection more intuitive, and offering a personalized touch. I redesigned product pages, collections, and the homepage to reflect Soul Chocolate's unique brand and the delicious chocolates they offer.
Throughout the project, I worked with the Soul Chocolate team to get their feedback and ensure the final website exceeded their expectations. Using my skills in web design and eCommerce development, I helped create a website that captures the essence of the Soul Chocolate brand and helps them connect with more customers and boost sales.
Root Plants
https://www.rootsplants.co.ukDiving into the website's CSS and JavaScript, I identified and resolved any problems preventing optimal display across Chromebooks, devices, and browsers. I enhanced the blog and article pages to better reflect the Root Plants brand, ensuring the design aligned with their branding strategy and providing a more seamless experience for users.
Additionally, I spearheaded the development of a custom app for their Shopify store, allowing customers to easily track their order status directly from the order detail page without leaving the website.
