With over 15 years of experience working with small- & medium-sized eCommerce brands, we’re a powerful team specialized in growing revenue for online businesses through smart & profitable marketing and design.
About Us
What We Believe In
At BrightStar, we believe in a diverse online marketplace filled with strong small business brands that acquire customers through effective & profitable marketing and compete successfully against larger eCommerce brands.
We understand that scaling an eCommerce website can be costly and require a plethora of specialized skills. It’s often not feasible or practical to hire an entire eCommerce team for a small online brand. Let us be that team for you!
We specialize in growing small- & medium-sized brands profitably. We’re seeking partnerships where we can support the growth of promising brands while also working to keep the Internet a diverse shopping space where small businesses can thrive.
Our Experience
We’ve worked with a range of brands & businesses, including true B2C websites, larger organizations building their DTC channels, pure B2B businesses, local businesses, and more.
As a few large online retailers grab larger and larger shares of the market, our focus has really narrowed into supporting smaller niche online brands. In the same way that the bricks & mortar retail promoted “Shop Local”, we hope to be a part of a movement that ushers in a similar revolution for online shopping.

Kristen Perkins
Director of eCommerce
Our “all the things” eCommerce team leader, Kristen has managed sites big and small in her 15-year career. Starting in the industry in 2005 and learning on the job every year, she became a big proponent of opensource software with the mainstreaming of Magento in 2010. Recently, she’s been working with clients who need an easier-to-maintain platform and has done multiple Shopify website launches.
Adam Parker
Director of Design & Photography
A true artist at heart, Adam’s been creating since childhood. Identifying early on his love of audio and graphic arts, Adam attended the School of Media Arts & Design at James Madison University. It took a few years for him to find his footing in eCommerce design, but once he moved from traditional print design to the fast-paced world of eCommerce design, email marketing & product photography, he was hooked.
Jesse Beasley
Director of Content
Starting out as a copywriter, Jesse found out quickly that in small businesses, we all wear a lot of hats. Now more than six years in, she’s amassed experience with all forms of content creation & social media strategy and has become a key email marketing planner. With her artistic eye and awareness of online shopping trends, she’s far more than just our copywriter (though she still does that great too!).
