I built the back office that runs my whole business.
One page: money in, money owed, money overdue, money spent. Every brand on its own line. Six months of cash flow. A button that hides all the figures, so I can open it in a meeting without showing my revenue.
Before this, everything lived in spreadsheets, emails and my head, and checking the month took an afternoon of adding up by hand.
It was the first big thing I built with AI. It's still what I use every day, and it's what I now build for other businesses.

Crenaly: a booking SaaS I designed and built end-to-end for appointment-based businesses in France: salons, barbers, beauty and wellness.
The core idea: when a client cancels, the freed slot is automatically offered to clients who asked for an earlier time. The first to accept gets it, their appointment moves in place, and the slot they leave is offered next. No double booking, no manual work.
Around it, a full product:
→ Branded booking page for each business, embeddable on their own site
→ Mobile-first booking flow, no account needed
→ Agenda, client management, team roles & permissions
→ Verified reviews, analytics, Stripe billing
Product, UX/UI, frontend and backend.

Automatically offering a cancelled slot to the next client is such a practical feature for salons and barbers. Designing and building Crenaly end to end must have made those flows much tighter.
Two designs. One idea. Two different ways to experience travel. ✈️
What if planning your next trip felt less like managing a checklist and more like discovering a story waiting to unfold?
Trailora makes discovery feel effortless, while Horizon turns travel planning into a smarter, more structured experience.
Same industry. Different design directions.
Which direction would you choose: the freedom to explore or the confidence of a well-planned journey?

Both are lovely! The second one feels more like an adventure, which fits travel well.
