Studio Haru: turning "Can I book?" into "You're booked." 📸

For the #lovablechallenge, I treated this like a real client brief: Studio Haru (스튜디오 하루) is a fictional one-room profile photo studio in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, run by Maya, an American photographer who has lived in Seoul for six years.

The problem Maya shoots all day, edits at night, and answers around 25 Instagram DMs a day in between, about half of them in Korean. Every booking takes roughly six messages of back-and-forth, weekend slots fill fast but free bookings no-show, and when someone cancels, the slot just sits empty. Writing polite business Korean is slow for her, so her Korean customers wait the longest.

What I built in Lovable → Inbox assistant: Maya pastes a DM, and AI drafts a reply in the customer's language with real open times from the calendar and a prefilled booking link, plus an English translation so she knows exactly what she's sending. → Self-serve booking: pick a package, a look (Clean White, Warm Film or Monochrome), and a live time slot, then hold it with a ₩20,000 deposit. Bilingual EN/한국어. → A photo-strip ticket: a private version with a QR to manage the booking, and a public-safe version made for Instagram Stories that links new customers back to booking. → Follow-through on autopilot: confirmation emails, reminders 24h and 2h before, self-serve rescheduling, and deposits kept on no-shows. → Waitlist auto-fill: when someone cancels, the slot is offered to the next person on the waitlist with a 30-minute claim link. Maya never touches it. → Owner dashboard in "darkroom mode," with a live feed of every message sent on her behalf and an estimate of the hours saved.

The design The whole identity comes from analog film: contact-sheet grids, film-edge labels, and red grease-pencil circles for selections. Customer pages feel like a paper print, and Maya's dashboard feels like the darkroom.
