Trailblaze Media

Kansas City, Missouri, United States

Custom Shopify theme development, site migrations, and redesigns for a handful of brands

Trailblaze Media builds Shopify sites for merchants who need more than a template, handling migrations like the TIVOL Shopify Migration for an established brand and launches such as Kate & Laurel's multi-channel Shopify rollout. The Kansas City studio keeps its roster deliberately narrow, working with only three brands at a time so project teams and pipeline stay small and focused.

Work centers on custom Shopify theme development, giving clients direct control over user experience rather than relying on off-the-shelf templates — an approach that produced Loft, a theme the studio built and launched on the Shopify Theme Store. Projects run through a straightforward, methodical process aimed at understanding how a brand needs to engage its customers before design or migration work begins, with roles split across design (Jim Rothfork), development (Nilo Cortex), and project management (Stacie Alldritt).
