SeatSafe – Refundable Event Deposits
Free and low-cost events often struggle with high no-show rates, especially for free RSVPs, making planning and turnout unpredictable for organizers.
SeatSafe uses refundable deposits to create lightweight commitment. Attendees place a small deposit to reserve a seat. If they attend, it’s returned. If they don’t, the organizer keeps it.
Revenue model: platform fees on retained deposits, optional organizer plans, and expansion into higher-value events over time.
Prototype status: early Bubble prototype validating the reservation experience up to confirmation. Payments, refunds, and notifications are planned next.

Yoga Studio Operations Case Study 🧘♀️📊
I worked through a yoga studio operations scenario to understand where demand, capacity, and scheduling friction were actually coming from rather than relying on gut feel.
Using attendance and utilization data, I analyzed class type demand, instructor utilization, and time-of-day patterns, then translated those insights into clearer operational tradeoffs around scheduling and capacity.
This kind of work helps studio owners and service-based businesses make grounded decisions about what to adjust next without overhauling everything at once.

🌲 Holiday Grief Companion — UX prototype
I designed a gentle holiday grief companion focused on humane, trauma-aware UX.
Instead of forcing “cheer,” it creates space to slow down, remember, and breathe.
Design priorities
• optional interactions, no streaks or pressure
• soft language, no “fixing” tone
• calm pacing and minimal motion
• clear crisis resources presented respectfully
• local only — nothing typed is collected or stored
Core flows
• light-a-candle ritual with a simple log
• winter journal with changeable prompts
• quiet breathing animation
• onboarding that sets expectations and boundaries

Open to feedback on tone, flow, accessibility, and ethical design choices.
