Yingjie Li — Artist Portfolio & Print Shop
Problem
A Chester County, PA painter and mixed-media artist needed a professional online home — a place to host her gallery of works, biography, exhibition history, and a direct path for collectors to buy prints.
Solution
A gallery-first portfolio with a cinematic dark aesthetic, numbered catalog browsing, full biography and exhibitions timeline, and an integrated print-shop flow so collectors can purchase without leaving the site.
Highlights
Seedlings Shop
Problem
A home-grower couple grows heirloom and specialty seedlings — tomatoes, houseplants, squash, edible flowers — and needed a simple way for neighbors and hobbyist gardeners to browse varieties, see live availability, and order directly, without standing up a full e-commerce platform.
Solution
A clean catalog-style shop with category filters, per-variety descriptions with growing notes, live stock indicators (including "sold out" and "only N left" states), cart + order tracking, and first-class bilingual + accessibility support.
