In my role as Web Producer at WLCR, I collaborated closely with clients and internal stakeholders to understand business goals and translate them into actionable design solutions. I leveraged expertise in Shopify, Shopify Plus, WordPress, and ticketing softwares to inform UX strategy and decision-making process for venues and direct-to-consumer ecommerce websites, focusing on enhancing user journeys and maximizing conversions. I also designed and implemented sitemaps, wireframes, and prototypes to align with client objectives and industry best practices, as well as managing content, app installations, and backend website configurations.

In 2018, I co-founded a natural wine subscription, Brave Bottles. My partners and I started this business to enable us to bring our shared love of natural wines straight to the doors of our customers via monthly deliveries of subscription boxes with curated selections of highly prized, low intervention bottles.We started from scratch, drafting our business model and product offerings based on user research. We worked with a talented team to design the brand, and I built the website on Shopify using Recharge for the subscription engine. Together, we worked out compliance, supply chain, packaging and shipping logistics. We established relationships with select vendors and distributors. I managed sourcing and curating the wines and my partners conducted research to tell the stories of the producers and their methods. We managed marketing and strategy as a team and my partners were responsible for AP & AR and accounting. As the business grew, we expanded deliveries into multiple states, and as we were faced with the needs required to continue scaling, we eventually chose to close the business.
