Cannabis experience

Building inside the cannabis ecosystem, not around it.

At PufCreativ, I've spent over two years working on production websites and e-commerce systems for US cannabis brands and dispensaries. Much of that work involves connecting WordPress to the specialized platforms the industry relies on.

Native dispensary menus

Built a custom WordPress integration using the Dispense API to replace reverse-proxy-based dispensary menus with native, on-brand shopping experiences. The implementation supports products, carousels, navigation and customizable layouts directly inside WordPress and was designed for reuse across production sites.

Dutchie Pro

Built WordPress themes and integrations using the Dutchie Pro SDK, including direct collaboration with Dutchie's engineering team when resolving implementation requirements.

Store locators

Built custom WordPress store locator integrations using external cannabis retail data, including an implementation powered by Hoodie and a second variant using the Weedmaps Public API as its data source.
