Grow your business and partner with 15+ years of experience in Shopify e-commerce development.

Greetings, Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!

I am Alyssa, affectionately known among the digital realms as the Fairy Code Mother.

My Approach

I embarked on my e-commerce development journey just two years after Shopify's inception. Since 2008, I have dedicated myself to not only developing e-commerce sites but also to guiding merchants, developers, and agencies through the intricate maze of online retail on Shopify. My approach is one of transparency and authenticity. Whether it’s demystifying technical jargon, explaining complex concepts, or recommending the best solutions for your needs, I empower you with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions.

My Experience


The Beginning

My journey into Shopify development started with updating my family's jewelry store to use Shopify. I taught myself how to modify code in the free themes and navigate the numerous limitations Shopify had in its early days.

2008-2011

Freelancing in a Hobby Land

I started a personal sewing blog called Pile O’ Fabric, which led to me developing and launching custom websites for multiple clients in the sewing industry, enhancing their online presence and customer engagement. I also successfully transitioned my own sewing blog, Pile O' Fabric, into a thriving online fabric shop on Shopify, showcasing my skills in web development and sewing instruction.

2012-2016


Developing Shopify Themes

I was a front end developer at Underground, a leading Shopify theme builder known for creating top-selling themes in the Shopify theme store. Through this role, I gained extensive knowledge of Shopify, mastering its features and functionalities. I focused on clean, flexible, and customizable development allowing merchants to create exceptional e-commerce experiences.

Senior Development in an Agency World

Today, I am a Senior Front End Shopify Developer at DYODE, a full-service Shopify agency. In this role, I works with a diverse range of clients, from home town businesses like The Bruery to established brands like AG Jeans. With a deep understanding of Shopify’s capabilities, I excels in building and maintaining high-quality e-commerce sites that enhance user experience and drive conversions.
