Harper Thomas
Biography
Despite largely overseeing the work that Cake does on a day to day, having worked in eCommerce since 2006, Harper is never afraid to get stuck into the nitty-gritty of a business’ needs. Whether it be flexing her Shopify muscles to help craft a website, or using her creativity to elevate a brand to the next level, the founder and former owner of Harper and Lewis is more than equipped to breathe life into a business.
Even with her adeptness in providing technical advice and strategy for eCommerce brands on Shopify and Shopify+, some of Harper's most treasured achievements at Cake have been away from the development desk. These include having founded Girl Code, a quarterly meet-up championing women in our industry, and ensuring that Cake is an agency that has positivity and inclusivity at its heart.

Trivia
All of my previous roles have carved out the person I am today.
Training to be a chef: Working under pressure and following processes
Receptionist at a gym: Client services and making people feel welcome and motivated
Bartender: People management and dealing with all types of customers!
Retail: Understanding sales, product, eCommerce, customer relations and processes.
I LOVE RETAIL. My fondest memories are just shop floor banter, speaking to customers and getting real feedback. This helped build my confidence and also understanding people and their needs - both customers and team members.
Where do I begin?! Everyone in our agency has a skillset that contributes to helping our clients and we really go above and beyond to understand our clients needs and aspirations. Also, all of the experience and the amount of knowledge our team soaks up constantly - they are always looking to learn and find solutions
