Case study: I rebuilt an activewear brand's entire storefront in 8 weeks — here's what happened to their revenue.
The client had a big problem. $4M/year in sales, but 71% of shoppers were abandoning their cart. Their Shopify theme loaded in 4.6 seconds. Every flash sale crashed the server.
Here's what I built and what changed:
→ Migrated from a legacy Liquid theme to a fully headless Next.js storefront
→ Implemented ISR so product pages load in under 400ms — even during traffic spikes
→ Built an optimistic slide-out cart that skips the 1.5s Shopify API delay entirely
→ Set up a Facebook CAPI proxy to recover conversion tracking lost to ad blockers
→ Gave the marketing team a Sanity CMS visual builder so they never need a dev again
We kept zooming in on a planet until it didn't fit on the phone.
A ringed gas giant grows until it fills the whole screen and lands on a deep boom. It's drawn in text characters, one per cell, against black space.
It's 11 seconds, and the sound is ours too.
What should we fly past next?

For Ranch University, I designed and built a custom Kajabi website and course platform + community around ranch ownership and life on the land.
Earthy colors, ranch photography, and spacious layouts carry through the site, membership pages, and course presentation. I also handled the course structure and offer setup behind the scenes.
