01 · Problem

What was broken

The client already had a Shopify store, but the existing theme was a marketplace template that locked down typography, animations, and section ordering — making the brand feel like every other Shopify store. They needed a full redesign with total control over every visual detail and no developer touch for day-to-day edits.

02 · Approach

How I built it

Rebuilt the entire storefront from the ground up on Shopify Online Store 2.0 — a new custom theme replacing the old one. 70+ purpose-built sections, per-element typography for desktop/tablet/mobile, dual navigation (overlay or drawer), three blog pagination modes, and a CSS-variable system for cross-section style sharing.
