What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can own Shopify and e-commerce delivery end to end, manage client relationships, improve stores through CRO and optimisation, and bring strong commercial, operational and process discipline to multiple concurrent projects.

I deliver Shopify store builds, audits and optimisation engagements for client brands, owning each project from brief through launch and ongoing support.

I’m the sole point of contact for scoping, quoting, progress updates, review calls and handover. I customise themes, build mobile-first conversion pages, integrate apps, improve checkout and speed, and use Loom walkthroughs to show clients proposed changes before approval.

I also run Puddle Proof, my own Shopify store, where I test CRO, apps and checkout improvements. Before e-commerce, I spent a decade running a clothing manufacturing business, directing production, budgets, suppliers, teams and delivery with close attention to scope and margin.
