VibeFlex Product Studio

A commerce-operations platform designed to move a product from artwork and configuration through fulfillment mapping, storefront preparation, and Shopify publishing workflows.

The project treats ecommerce as an operational pipeline rather than a collection of disconnected tools. Product data, artwork, fulfillment, mockups, publishing, and audit history are modeled as parts of one repeatable system.

What the project demonstrates

• End-to-end product workflow design
• Structured product and brand data modeling
• Shopify storefront and publishing integration patterns
• Print-on-demand provider abstraction
• Printful fulfillment adapter architecture
• Database-backed workflow state
• Audit-log and job-model design
• Headless storefront integration
• Separation between customer-facing commerce and back-office operations

Architecture

Application

• Next.js 15 App Router
• TypeScript in strict mode
• Tailwind CSS

Data

• Drizzle ORM
• Schema coverage for brand profiles, artwork, product projects, POD catalog data, mockups, publishing state, campaign assets, jobs, and audit history

Commerce

• Shopify Storefront API pattern for customer-facing product data and checkout
• Separate Admin-side publishing architecture for product operations

Fulfillment

• Provider-neutral POD adapter interface
• Printful adapter as the first implementation

Headless storefront

The /store layer is intentionally separated from the back-office product workflow. Product information can be read from Shopify while the customer-facing storefront remains independently designed and maintained.

This supports a broader operating principle: the system of record and the customer experience should be connected without being unnecessarily coupled.

Current development focus

The platform is being hardened around three production priorities:

1. Persistent artwork storage and database-backed asset records
2. A reliable Printful fulfillment and variant-mapping path
3. Idempotent Shopify draft publishing and validation

Additional workflow phases include authentication, artwork analysis, catalog synchronization, mockup generation, campaign assets, webhook verification, testing, and operational hardening.

Portfolio focus

Presented as a commerce operations, workflow architecture, and systems-integration case study. The value is not simply the storefront UI; it is the operating model behind getting a product from source asset to a controlled, publishable commerce state.
