Built an end-to-end consultation and monetization system for a career mentor, from booking and payment to post-session follow-up and a client CRM. Fully automated and running entirely on free tools, so she can focus on clients instead of admin.
The Problem: Beautiful physical café spaces often lose their premium feel online when their digital grid and generic brand marks don't match the in-store hospitality experience.
The Solution: A cohesive, custom word mark and unified visual system that bridges the gap between their physical storefront and digital presence. The goal was to build a mark that feels welcoming, premium, and instantly recognisable at a glance.
Deliverables:
• Custom word mark & responsive brand icon
• Unified typographic and colour system
• Digital touchpoint strategy (Instagram grid)
• Physical brand applications (Menu, signage, and apparel)

This project tackles a real small-business pain point: inventory silently running out because no one's tracking stock in real time.
Order processing (webhook-triggered): Incoming orders (supporting multiple items per order) are received via webhook, split into individual line items, and logged — each order simply appends a new entry to an order log rather than directly overwriting stock numbers.
Live stock calculation: Current stock for each item is computed on the fly, using a formula that subtracts all logged order quantities from the starting count.
Daily stock monitoring (schedule-triggered): A separate scheduled trigger runs once a day, checks every item's live stock against its own custom reorder threshold, and sends a Slack alert for anything running low — so restocking happens before customers ever notice a shortage.
The daily trigger that checks each item's live stock against its own reorder threshold and then pushes a Slack alert seems like a practical way to stay ahead of stockouts.
