The Problem: Most Shopify stores install a quiz app for $50/month to recommend products. The apps are slow, don't match the brand design, and add to the 15-apps problem. What I Built: I built a custom Interactive Ritual Builder directly in Shopify for VERAÉ, my premium textured-hair demo brand - no quiz app. How it Works - What you see in video: Start: "Let's understand what your hair is asking for" - 3 simple questions, no overwhelm Q1: "What would you like your routine to do better?" - Hydration, Definition, Repair, Scalp, Refresh Q2: "How much structure feels right?" - Simple, Balanced, Complete Q3: "How often do you usually wash?" - About once a week, About twice a week, It depends Result: Personalized ritual - Example "Refresh Ritual" - lighter routine for moisture between wash days Selling: Shows full routine [Wash $28 + Cloud Rinse $29] with total $86 and one-click "Add full routine to cart" - customer builds their own bundle What I Did: Built custom diagnostic engine in Liquid - logic analyzes answers and recommends ritual Built dynamic step-by-step bundling - customers mix-and-match, not forced into one kit Built conversion architecture - from quiz answer straight to cart with full routine, no friction Styled to match VERAÉ premium brand - beige, black, editorial fonts - not generic app design No app installed - faster load, no monthly fee, fully editable in Shopify editor Tools Used: Shopify, Custom Liquid, Shopify 2.0 Theme Development, Conversion Architecture, Agency Solutions Context: Demo project - VERAÉ is my own self-initiated store to show how I build custom experiences without relying on apps. Not client work. No performance claims. My Goal: Fewer unnecessary apps and less manual work. Custom code where it matters, lean app stack everywhere else. Disconnected or broken systems? Let's fix it.

This video shows a Klaviyo email flow I built for my demo brand VERAÉ. At the top you see "VERAÉ | FLOW | Welcome - Ritual". This is a welcome flow. It starts when someone joins the email list. Here is what happens step by step: Trigger: When someone is added to VERAÉ - Email list Wait 1 min: System waits 1 minute so it does not send email immediately W01 - Welcome Brand Introduction: First email with subject "Unlock the Secret to Gorgeous Hair" - Draft status. This email says "Your hair does not need more. It needs the right ritual." After this email, the flow waits 1 day, then splits to different paths based on what the person does. You can also see I turned on Smart Sending and UTM tracking, and the template is designed for VERAÉ - premium textured hair brand. I built this as a demo to show how I set up Klaviyo flows from scratch. No real customers, no sales claims. Just the build process. Tools: Klaviyo + Shopify integration

This video shows a workflow I built inside Make.com (http://Make.com). The name at the top is "Integration Make AI Agent". What you are seeing is many small circles connected together. Each circle is a step. When data comes in, it moves from one circle to the next. Some steps are green - those are the main jobs. Some are blue - those move data around. Some are orange - those are backup steps. If something goes wrong, the orange path handles it so the whole thing does not stop. At the top right, you can see it says "Immediately as data arrives" and "Active". That means once new data comes in, the workflow starts by itself. I built this as a demo to practice how to connect many steps together. It uses fake test data. It is not for a client, and I am not claiming it made money. I am showing it to prove I can build and organize big automations in Make.

Imagine spending money to bring customers to your store, only for them to leave and never come back. That’s the problem I wanted to solve with this project. I built VERAÉ, a premium hair-care store, with a custom Shopify storefront, interactive product discovery, and Klaviyo email flows designed to keep the conversation going long after a visitor leaves. I also connected the experience with Make and Google Sheets to demonstrate how the right systems can work together. This is more than a good-looking store. It’s a look at how I approach e-commerce: making shopping easier, following up with customers, and creating more reasons for them to buy again.
