Yoli Pantry is a Korean American-owned food brand based in Los Angeles, creating savory cooking products rooted in Korean flavour and designed for the way people actually cook, quick meals, weeknight dinners, and everything in between.
I worked with them on a new custom Shopify theme focused on bringing the brand’s personality, product storytelling, and recipe-led content into a faster, more scalable experience.
The build centered around a mobile-first customer journey, flexible content sections, and a cleaner PDP experience to better support conversion and discovery across the range.
A big focus was balancing performance with storytelling — creating a site that feels editorial and brand-led, while still being easy to shop and manage day to day.

The way the Soseu PDP holds a savory food product without going generic CPG is the move. Korean American DTC is a category where most stores either over-narrate the heritage or skip it entirely. This balances the editorial story with shop utility cleanly.
A Shopify homepage has a few seconds to answer one important question:
“Am I in the right place?”
A beautiful design helps, but the homepage also needs to guide the visitor toward the next step.
Here are 5 things I think every Shopify homepage should have:
1. A clear value proposition
Visitors should quickly understand what the brand sells and what makes it relevant to them.
2. A strong hero section
Use compelling imagery, a focused message, and a clear CTA instead of overwhelming visitors with too much information.
3. Easy product discovery
Featured products and collections should help shoppers find what they're looking for without having to search through the entire store.
4. Trust signals
Reviews, shipping information, return policies, guarantees, and secure checkout indicators can answer important questions before someone buys.
5. Clear navigation
Your navigation should make the store easy to explore. Customers shouldn't have to figure out where products or collections are hidden.
The goal isn't to put everything on the homepage.
It's to put the right things in the right order.
Good Shopify design isn't only about how the store looks. It's also about how easily someone can understand it and move through it.
I got to work with the dreamiest new brand and photography to translate into a more editorial Shopify experience for a beauty subscription brand. Even better, the new site helped increase subscriptions and hit the brand's goal after launch. ✨ Check it out.
