Give a local business something worth showing off.

For the #GiveItAGlow challenge, I chose Snowworld Natural Hair Salon in Ibadan a business already known for great natural hair care but relying on manual processes to manage bookings.

📍 Before

The customer journey looked like this:

Instagram bio link only (no website)

Appointments collected through Google Forms

₦3,000 deposit via manual bank transfer

Staff manually verified payments before confirming bookings

Separate Google Form for apprenticeship applications

No automated appointment reminders

No centralized dashboard for managing bookings

Every booking required manual effort.

✨ After

I designed and built a complete digital booking experience with Base44, giving Snowworld a modern platform that works for both customers and business owners.

What the new platform includes

✅ Professional website

✅ Complete service catalog with real pricing (20+ services)

✅ Real gallery showcasing their work

✅ Live appointment booking with availability checking

✅ Automatic prevention of double bookings

✅ Instant booking confirmations

✅ Automated appointment reminders

✅ AI assistant trained on their services, pricing, and business hours

✅ Customer review collection after appointments with approved reviews displayed on the homepage

✅ Owner dashboard for managing bookings, tracking revenue, monitoring appointment status, and exporting data

The Impact

Instead of:

❌ Google Forms

❌ Manual payment verification

❌ Spreadsheet tracking

❌ Back-and-forth customer messages

Snowworld now has an automated system that saves time, improves the customer experience, and allows the owner to focus on serving clients instead of managing administrative tasks.

This project wasn't about building another demo—it was about creating a practical solution a real business could start using immediately.

Ledger — AI CFO Platform Ledger is an AI platform that acts as an always-on Chief Financial Officer for founders — connecting to accounts, learning cash rhythm, and surfacing risks before they become real problems. I designed the full landing page. My role: UI/UX Design Scope: Landing page Financial tools for founders usually feel either cold (dashboards) or intimidating (accounting software).

For Ledger, we borrowed from old-world institutional finance instead — serif type, oil-painting textures, classical architecture — so an AI CFO feels like real authority, not another app.
