SoHo — from first inquiry to confirmed session

SoHo is a boutique photography studio in New York, offering private portraits, editorial shoots, and handcrafted photo albums. Its small team has to manage booking requests, session details, discounts, and customer photos while preparing for shoots.

I built SoHo in Lovable to bring that work into one connected experience.

Clients can choose a session, request a date and time, and track their booking status from their account. The studio can review requests, set approval rules, and see AI-assisted equipment suggestions for each shoot. Discounts become available at the right stage of the booking journey.

For custom albums, clients select a cover and place their photos into a digital version of the physical album box. The studio can manage the order and download all submitted photos as one ZIP file.

The goal was simple: help a small studio spend less time coordinating messages and files, and more time making the work its clients came for.

Great job, Abdullah! The design looks neat and interesting - really good work! Keep it up! 🚀

A self-initiated product: a booking and ordering system for a billiard club in Tbilisi. I designed it in Figma from scratch and built all of it, from the interface to the database. Guests call the club and nobody answers. They arrive and every table is taken. They want food and wait at the bar. Side Pocket moves all of that to the website. Key decisions No guest accounts. A booking needs a name and a phone number. The guest gets a private link to move, extend or cancel. The link is the account. A 15-minute hold. Guests check in with "I'm at the table." A table nobody claims goes to the waitlist, and the next person gets the same 15 minutes. Ordering tied to the table. Guests order from their phone during the game, add time themselves and see the bill as it grows. One screen for staff. Every table's state for the night, late arrivals and orders to serve pinned to the top, bookings and orders boards, alerts in Telegram. A Telegram bot. It understands "table for 4 tonight at 8" in English or Russian and finishes the booking with buttons. Scope Guest site with live availability, single and group booking, waitlist, private booking page, table page with menu, cart and bill, email confirmations and reminders, staff dashboard, Telegram bot. Stack React 19, TanStack Start, TanStack Router and Query, Tailwind 4, Radix UI, Supabase Postgres with row-level security, pg_cron, Brevo and Resend, Telegram Bot API, Vitest. Business rules sit in plain functions, separate from the UI and the database, with 73 tests. Only server functions touch the database. My role Product design, UI design, front-end, back-end, database, integrations. Live demo: side-pocket.lovable.app
