Case study

Healing Soil

Healing Soil is a bootstrapped handmade soap business run by a solo founder. I came in as the technical and operations partner. Not a co-founder, but the person who built everything the business runs on so the founder could focus entirely on making the product.

Founder, now with full visibility into her business

What I built

Full customer-facing site (Next.js)

Product catalogue, shop, SEO blog, and WhatsApp-integrated order flow.

Conversion strategy from scratch

Customer research, VOC analysis, bundle pricing, referral funnel.

SoapLedger: custom operations app

Order management, customer records, expense tracking, inventory, label printing, and a growth analytics module that pulls Google Search Console data alongside order history to surface AI-generated content and SEO actions.

The result

A solo creative founder who previously had no visibility into whether her business was profitable now has a dashboard that tells her exactly where she stands, which products are working, and what to do next.
