Independent Shopify Studio

Tobi — a Shopify theme developer building custom storefronts for premium & independent brands.

Storefronts that sell, convert, endure, and feel alive.

I design & build bespoke Shopify themes from the ground up — editorial layouts, considered motion, and performance engineered to turn browsers into buyers.

Selected Work — Five Storefronts

Living storefronts.

Custom Shopify themes built from the ground up. Each one carries its own world.
