What’s included & how it works

What I’ll look at

Your homepage, navigation, one collection page, two product pages, cart, and checkout—with attention to mobile, product information, and the path to purchase.

Who it’s for

Your store should be live, with products available to buy. Recent visitors or orders give us useful context, but there’s no minimum traffic requirement.

What happens after?

You’ll receive annotated screenshots and a prioritized action list within five business days after I receive the access needed. We’ll schedule a 45-minute conversation to talk through the findings.

You can make the changes yourself, share the list with your team, or ask me to scope implementation. Additional work is optional and quoted separately.

$350 is the introductory pilot price for this scope. This is a storefront and UX review, rather than an advertising or traffic-acquisition audit. It can identify improvements, but doesn’t guarantee sales.

A little contextbecause experience matters.

I've been the founder with the big vision and the very long to-do list.

I founded You Go Natural in 2016 and led a consumer brand from an idea to more than $25 million in lifetime revenue, with products in Target, CVS, and Bloomingdale's.

That experience informs the way I work now. I think about the brand, the customer, and what it will actually take to get something done. Sometimes that means a bigger conversation. Sometimes it means fixing the product page.

I’m the former founder and CEO of YGN and am no longer affiliated with the company.

INSIDE THE WORK

Where I put this
into practice.

These are my own brands and projects—the places where I work through product questions, build storefronts, and connect the customer experience.The work behind the advice.

What I’ve worked on: a Shopify-to-BigCommerce migration, custom product and collection pages, mobile layouts, product education, and checkout updates.

The ongoing question: where does the shopping experience help the customer, and where does it make them work?

What I’ve worked on: storefront design, navigation, collection and product pages, fit and care information, and editorial content.

The work connects the look of the brand with the information a customer needs to choose.

PUBLICATION / CULTURE & CONVERSATION

Between Us

A publication Black women return to for good taste, honest conversation, and the pleasure of feeling understood.

The work here: defining who the publication is for, developing its editorial point of view, and building a consistent visual language. It’s a project in audience and brand development.

HOW I LIKE TO WORK

Make it clear.
Make it useful.
Keep the person
on the other side in mind.

That’s how I approach a product page, a brand decision, or a conversation with another founder.

You’ll get specific feedback, an explanation of why it matters, and room to talk through what makes sense for your business.

Good questions welcome.

NOTES FROM THE WORK

A place to
think out loud.

Short notes on building brands, understanding customers, and choosing what deserves your attention.

CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

The sale doesn’t start at checkout.

A customer can meet your brand in a post, look you up later, and come back when they’re ready. I think about the experience across those moments, not just the page where they finally buy.

Read the note

That’s why I keep coming back to the same question: does this feel like the same brand, and does it help someone understand the product a little better?

A beautiful image can create interest. A useful product page can answer the question that interest brings up. An email can give someone a reason to return. Each has a job to do.

Before adding another touchpoint, I want to know what it helps the customer understand. More content is easy to make. A connected experience takes more thought.

FOUNDER DECISIONS

Before changing everything, ask what changed.

When sales slow down, it’s tempting to start fixing everything at once. I’m learning to pause long enough to separate a traffic question from a shopping-experience question.

Read the note

Are fewer people arriving? Are they coming from a different place? Are the same products still selling through another channel? Those questions give me a more useful starting point than assuming the whole store is the problem.

Sales on one channel don’t prove another channel’s experience works. But they’re a clue worth following before rewriting the product story or rebuilding the site.

I’d rather choose one question, make a focused change, and watch what happens. When I change five things at once, I can end up with more work and less understanding.
