Practical support for the details that make a store work.

Optimization

Systems & coordination

I became the person who figures things out.

I work best with real problems to solve. An order that needs investigation. A Shopify issue that isn't working right. A process with too many loose ends. A customer who needs a clear answer.

I've worked on both the customer support side and the operations side. I don't treat support as separate tickets. I look at the order, store, shipping, and what comes next to move things forward.

I ask why. I follow through.

Experience

Built across customer service.

3+ years working with leading brands, from customer support to e-commerce operations.

Capabilities

Useful where the work gets real.

The skills Shopify stores need to run smoothly and stay on track.

01 /

Shopify Store Operations

Build and maintain storefronts that convert. I handle product pages, checkout flows, inventory sync, and troubleshoot cart issues, payment problems, and pricing errors before customers see them.

Customer Operations & Support

Investigate every customer issue before responding. Check orders, fulfillment, tracking, and context—then coordinate solutions. This detective work stops problems from repeating.

Shopify Store Build & E-commerce Execution

Building a complete daily care system in Shopify.

This shows my hands-on work building a Shopify store, setting up products, and getting them ready to sell. I handled everything from store setup to product pages to making sure orders run smoothly.

The Essential Duo bundle combines three products that work together for daily pet care. It includes customer reviews, educational content, and a clear offer to help pet owners understand the value and make a purchase.

Three products working together to address the complete daily pet care routine.

Essential Duo combines FreshWipes for dental care, EyeWipes for eye care, and the Tear Stain Comb. Each product handles one part of daily pet care. The goal was to show them as a system, not separate products, so pet owners keep up with their routine. Each product needed clear messaging about what it does and why it works best together.

Multiple sales touchpoints working together to move customers through awareness to purchase.

The Essential Duo was presented through product pages, customer reviews, comparison messaging, educational guides, and a money-back guarantee. The design made it clear what customers get and why buying the bundle is better than buying products separately.

Support that looks beyond the inbox.

When a customer has an issue, I investigate what happened before responding. That can mean checking the Shopify order, fulfillment status, tracking, delivery information, or the relevant store process—then coordinating the next step and following up clearly.

Common workEmail-based support, order status questions, tracking and shipping issues, delayed or missing parcels, failed deliveries, wrong addresses, returns, refunds, and fulfillment problems.

ApproachCheck the context, communicate clearly, escalate when needed, and follow through until there is a clear resolution.

Pay attention to the journey.

I review product pages, checkout flows, and customer behavior to find where a store can be clearer and easier to use. I look for ways to remove friction and help more people complete their purchase.

FocusProduct pages, pre-landers, cart and checkout experience, and user behaviour.

ToolsMicrosoft Clarity, Triple Whale, Shopify, and testing tools.

Make repeat work easier to run.

I use workflows and automation to make recurring work easier to track. This keeps follow-ups consistent and stops important details from falling through the cracks when things are busy.

Research and Product Strategy

Finding the right products to add.

Looked at customer feedback and identified gaps. What was missing from their routine? What would make sense to sell together? Selected products that solved real problems.

Three products made the cut. Tear Stain Comb, Dental Chew Bone, Dental Chew Ball. Each one at $15 and positioned where customers were ready to buy.

Why these three.

Reviewed 18 different products. Focused on ones that solved real customer needs, felt natural with the core products, and had good margins. Avoided anything that felt forced or random.

Creative & Marketing Work

Real campaign examples from VetPets.

Beyond store development, I create marketing creatives that drive customer acquisition, engagement, and reactivation.

Affiliate & Creator Recruitment

I created a series of static marketing creatives designed to recruit creators and affiliates for VetPets. The campaign communicated the partnership opportunity, outlined commission structure, highlighted creator benefits, and included clear calls to action to encourage applications.

My contribution: Creative direction, copy, visual layout

Customer Winback Campaign

I created email marketing creatives for a customer reactivation campaign encouraging past buyers to restart their daily pet care routine. The campaign featured educational messaging, value reinforcement, and a limited-time savings offer (40% off) designed to re-engage inactive customers.

How I work

Calm, practical, and accountable.

I work well alone, but I know when to ask for help and when to escalate an issue.

Click to reveal

Understand it before deciding what to do.

The approach

I check the facts, find what needs to happen next, and take action. I investigate what's really going on behind a customer issue instead of just sending a quick response.

Click to reveal

Keep ownership until there is a clear next step.

The follow-through

In Shopify, support, or operations work, I keep details organized, communicate clearly, and let people know when something needs attention.

Click to reveal

Built to stay online.

The setup

I work from a dedicated home office with backup power, so nothing stops the work. I also have rescue cats at home, so I understand pet owners and their needs firsthand.

Tools

Comfortable inside the stack.

Tools help get the work done. What matters is knowing where to look, what to check, and how to move forward.
