🌟 Email Marketing & Klaviyo Expert | 8+ Years Helping Brands Grow Hi, I’m Ryan 👋 If you’re looking for someone who can not only send emails but also make them perform, you’re in the right place. I’ve spent the past 8+ years helping e-commerce brands and startups turn email into one of their highest-earning channels. I specialize in Klaviyo (my go-to tool), but I’ve worked across plenty of platforms and know how to get results no matter where you are in your journey. ✅ What I Bring to the Table Proven Results: From welcome flows to product launches to abandoned cart sequences, I’ve built campaigns that drive revenue, boost engagement, and create repeat customers. E-commerce Focused: I know what it takes to stand out in crowded inboxes and actually get clicks (not just opens).

Startup-Savvy: With 4 years in fast-moving tech companies, I thrive in quick-changing environments where you need someone who adapts fast. 🛠️ Tools I Work With Every Day Klaviyo (my specialty 💡) Mailchimp Shopify & Woocommerce Apollo Zapier 📊 Skills That Make a Difference Email Marketing & Automation Customer Journeys & Retention Flows A/B Testing & Optimization Data Analysis & Deliverability Affiliate & Loyalty Programs CRM Integrations 🤝 Why Work With Me?

Why are you making less than your competitors when you have a better product? I'll tell you. And without looking at your business at all, I know it's not your ads, emails, or landing pages. At least, not just one of those pieces. The real reason you're leaving money on the table is structural. Tinkering with one part of the structure produces small results. If you want revenue climbing month after month, you need to engineer a persuasive path your prospects enjoy walking down and buying from. Everything leading up to the buying moment needs to be structured just right. Your prospect needs to believe the right things — about you, their problem, your solution, why now is the time to act, and why you're the only person who can truly solve it. Those shifts don't happen by accident. They have to be built into every ad, every post, every page, every email in a deliberate sequence. Get it wrong, and prospects bounce like your business is a trampoline. Get it right, and you capture new customers like a giant spider's web in a swamp. And if you go above and beyond, customers will feel relief that you caught them rather than someone worse. There's always someone worse selling a similar solution. You don't want them to win, do you? It's your duty to spin the strongest sales web you can. For your customers' sake and your business's fate. So let's get fixin'. The center of your sales system must be your email list. It's the one asset you actually own. No algorithm or platform can pull the rug out from under it. Show up consistently with a strong point of view and something worth saying, while entertaining the heck out of your readers, and you build a moat no competitor can easily breach. Email is the ultimate sales flywheel. Paid ads on Meta and organic content on LinkedIn and X pull strangers into your orbit. Lead magnets and landing pages bring them inside. Email automations and regular newsletters direct their existing desires onto your solutions. Sales pages and upsells close them and feed your business's growing appetite. I built this sales system for Live Free Academy. Ran their entire marketing operation solo. Grew their list from 5,000 to 37,000 active subscribers. Took them from five-figure ARR to seven-figure ARR in two years. By year three, courses, events, and membership generated $2.8 million. The newsletter I ghostwrote drove over 80% of revenue. A Bitcoin course that did $339K in its first year. Four events that grossed over $500K combined. Their former VP of Sales called it "one of the most impressive and frankly genius marketing campaigns I've ever seen." For AUTONOMY, I relaunched a dead newsletter and helped close 162 students into a $2K–$4.5K course. For CrowdHealth, I rebuilt onboarding sequences. Open rates went from 65% to 93%. Unsubscribes fell from 2.49% to 0.59%. Deliverability went from 60 to 96. What I do: ✔️ Meta ads and LinkedIn/X ghostwriting to pull fresh leads into your world ✔️ Lead magnets and landing pages that capture and convert ✔️ Daily and weekly email newsletters that drive 80%+ of revenue ✔️ Automations and sequences that move people through the belief shift process ✔️ Launch campaigns for courses, memberships, events, SaaS, and ecom ✔️ Sales pages and upsells built to close and compound ✔️ Full funnel audits that find exactly where your money is leaking But I'm not here to do piecemeal work. I will come in as a fractional CMO for founders who want a growth partner, not just a writer. The scope might be limited or expansive, but I will insist on seeing and understanding your full sales architecture so I can help you in the best way possible. I work with founders generating at least $100K a year who sell something that genuinely changes people's lives. If I wouldn't sell it to my wife, I won't sell it for you. If you’d like to chat, send me a message right now. Tell me what your business is, what you sell, who you sell it to, and the number one challenge you're facing. I'll take it from there. Patrick

Look, if you're serious about making more money through email marketing, you're in the right place. I've been doing this for over 5 years, and I don't just set up campaigns and call it a day. I build email systems that actually drive revenue, period. Here's what I bring to the table: I know my shit. Strategy, content calendars, automation flows, segmentation, deliverability, all of it. Whether you're starting from scratch or your current setup is underperforming, I'll jump in and build something that actually works for your business and your customers. I'm not here to make things look pretty and bounce. I care about results. Open rates, click through rates, conversions, revenue. I dig into the data, optimize what's working, kill what's not, and make sure every email you send is pulling its weight. Now here's the real talk: I can't do my job if you're not doing yours. Successful partnerships are built on mutual commitment. If you're ready to actually invest the time and effort into growing your business through email, then I'm your person. But if you're looking for someone to just check boxes and disappear, I'm not it. My goal is simple: make you more money. I'm confident I can do that for you. Ready to actually move the needle? Send me a message and let's talk.

Your Shopify store is often the first impression customers get of your brand. It should look premium, be easy to navigate, and give you the flexibility to manage it yourself after launch. That’s what I help businesses build. I’m a Shopify Designer & Developer with 10+ years of experience creating custom, conversion-focused stores from design through development. I start with the design, not the code. I first create your store in Figma so we can work through the layout, visual direction, and user experience before development starts. You can see how everything will look, give feedback, and make changes before we move into Shopify. Once the design is approved, I build it on Shopify 2.0 using clean, modular sections and blocks. The goal is to give you control over your store after launch. You’ll be able to update content, replace images, and rearrange sections directly through the Shopify Customizer without needing a developer for every small update. I also work with existing designs. Whether you have a Figma file, PSD, or static HTML/CSS design, I can turn it into a pixel-perfect, responsive Shopify store while keeping the original design and functionality intact. I also use Shopify’s AI tools when they actually make sense for the project. Shopify Magic can help speed up product content and copy, AI-assisted design and image tools can reduce repetitive work, and AI-powered product recommendations can make it easier for customers to discover relevant products. The goal is to use AI where it adds value without making the store unnecessarily complicated. Recent Projects QualityDoor Shopify Plus - Converted the existing design into a pixel-perfect Shopify Plus store, rebuilt product pages and navigation, and organized the theme into clean, editable sections. bouff - Built the store from Figma into a responsive Shopify 2.0 site with modular sections that the client can easily manage without editing code. I’ve completed 268+ Shopify projects on Upwork, with a 99% Job Success Score and Top Rated Plus status. I’ve worked with startups, DTC brands, and established businesses on both new stores and existing Shopify stores that needed a redesign or modernization. What I do best: • Figma to Shopify, PSD to Shopify & HTML to Shopify • Custom Shopify & Shopify Plus theme development • Shopify Liquid, 2.0 sections, metafields & custom functionality • Modular sections and blocks that are easy to manage • Premium UI/UX design focused on usability and branding • Shopify AI tools, content assistance & product recommendations • Full Shopify store redesigns and customer journey improvements • App integrations and advanced Shopify features • Landing pages and conversion-focused layouts • Ongoing Shopify maintenance, updates & support I don’t believe every brand needs the same template or approach. I first understand your brand, products, and customers, then design and build a Shopify store around them. If you need a Shopify designer and developer who can take your idea from design to a polished, manageable store, feel free to reach out and tell me about your project.
