Email Inbox Management
Organised and streamlined a real estate agent’s inbox to improve communication, lead response, and daily workflow.
I created a structured labelling system to categorise incoming messages into New Leads, Showings, Transactions, Client Updates, Seller Communication, and Vendors. I also prioritised emails based on urgency and action required, making it easier to identify follow-ups and respond efficiently.
Key tasks:
Organised and categorised incoming emails
Created a clear labelling and filing system
Prioritised urgent client and lead communications
Identified follow-up actions and pending responses
Improved inbox visibility and day-to-day email workflow
Tools: Gmail

I build an AI virtual assistant named Emma for my one person photography studio, Golden Hour ATX in Austin, Tx. Emma books appointments, checks the calendar, sends confirmation emails, and handles almost everything a one person photography studio needs. My photography studio used to overwhelmed with emails from clients and he needed someone to handle the details so that he can concentrate on photography.
Making the assistant the actual interface rather than adding a chatbot beside a booking form is a really interesting choice.
How does Emma handle requests that don't fit neatly into the available packages or calendar?
That's usually where a human ends up getting pulled back into the loop.
Tatiana Beauty is a booking and operations system built for a real makeup artist and educator in Chișinău, Moldova.
Most customer inquiries start on Instagram or WhatsApp with questions like “Are you free Saturday?”, “How much is makeup?” or “Can I book makeup and hair?”
What looks like a simple question creates repetitive work: checking the calendar, proposing times, waiting for a reply, confirming the appointment, sending reminders, handling rescheduling and trying to refill cancelled slots.
Tatiana Beauty moves that coordination into one workflow.
Customers see real availability and request an appointment themselves. Tatiana keeps control with final booking approval, while confirmations, reminders and customer self-service handle the routine follow-up.
When a time becomes available, the waitlist can automatically find the oldest compatible customer, reserve the slot temporarily and offer it to them. If accepted, it converts safely into a normal booking request.
The system also coordinates combined Makeup + Hair appointments across Tatiana and Diana’s independent calendars.
For Tatiana, the private studio brings together appointments, manual Instagram/WhatsApp bookings, working hours, blocked time, customers, waitlist activity and operational impact.
The product principle is simple:
Tatiana manages the exceptions, not every step.😍
“Every calendar gets checked before a time is ever proposed.”
1. All relevant calendars get checked for open slots
2. The best overlapping times get proposed, not just “what's free for me”
3. Once someone picks, it locks in and notifies everyone
