My responsibility

What I built and took to launch.

  • Rebuilt the theme across navigation, homepage, product pages, collections, editorial layouts, Quick View, and cart, translating the design system into reusable Shopify sections.
  • Developed the ingredient explorer, before-and-after results, clinical-results drawers, routine timelines, and product comparisons so customers could explore the science and steps behind each product.
  • Connected one-time and subscription purchase options to the store's existing selling plans, keeping products, variants, pricing, and cart data consistent across product pages and Quick View.
  • Gave the KaramMD team controls for content, media, product selections, and page composition, with CMS guides explaining how to configure the modules and update the site.
  • Carried the build through UAT revisions, responsive and accessibility QA, and production launch, then checked the live shopping flows and handled post-launch fixes.

A hard problem

Adapting the Trifecta story to every product.

The Trifecta and individual-product pages needed different layouts, product content, and purchase states. I built a shared set of ingredient, results, routine, and comparison modules that could serve both. That system also had to stay editable by the KaramMD team and keep product selections, subscription pricing, and cart behavior in sync as customers moved between pages and Quick View.

Delivery outcome

A fully redesigned theme, built from the ground up.

KaramMD's existing storefront now runs on the redesigned theme. I owned the custom theme implementation, final UAT fixes, and production launch, including checks of product, cart, and checkout flows after publication. The handoff included reusable sections, merchant controls, and configuration guides for ongoing updates.
