⚠️ The Challenge The client’s legacy theme was actively hindering their growth. It was visually outdated compared to their top competitors and notoriously difficult for their team to update internally. They needed a polished, high-converting look without losing the ability to manage their own content.

💡 The Solution I engineered a complete overhaul of their core informational pages (Science, Technology) and Best Seller collection using custom, responsive Liquid templates built on Shopify OS 2.0 architecture. By implementing a modern, component-based design system, I delivered a sleek, premium aesthetic—reminiscent of top-tier SaaS platforms—that immediately elevated their brand positioning.

🎯 Key Deliverables & Impact

💻 Skills & Tools Shopify OS 2.0 • Custom Liquid Development • UX/UI Design • E-Commerce Optimization • Responsive Design

Curious how the Core Web Vitals actually moved after the OS 2.0 rebuild - custom Liquid on component-heavy pages can go either way depending on JS payload. Did you benchmark load time before and after, or was the win mostly on editability and brand trust?

Portfolio highlights are a text list, and the photo beside it swaps as you move down.

The text-list navigation is a smart way to keep the portfolio feeling editorial while letting the imagery carry the emotion. I especially like the yellow section—it creates a clear pacing change without losing the typographic focus.
