Booking a dog walker shouldn't take 15 messages. And once you've booked, you shouldn't spend the whole walk wondering if she's ok.
You know both sides: the owner texts "do you have space for my dog?", the walker replies at midnight, days go back and forth, a meet-and-greet gets scheduled, and someone has to figure out if this dog even gets along with the others. Then walk day comes, the door closes, and the owner refreshes WhatsApp for an hour. Multiply that by 22 dogs and one walker. That's Clara's life.
So I built Trufa Walks, a small group dog-walking service in Poble Sec, Barcelona, named after my own Shiba Inu (fun fact: in Spanish, "trufa" is also what we call a dog's nose). The problem I wanted to solve: let a solo walker fill her schedule without answering a single message, and let owners feel close to their dog without sending one.
See it in action here: https://trufa-walks.lovable.app/
Owners answer a few questions, pick their walks in a few taps, only seeing slots where their dog fits the pack. Skips, reschedules, reminders and waitlists run on their own. Then the magic: Clara's watch shares the walk live, and every pee, poop and photo pops up on the owner's phone.
Owners get their own corner for walks and memories. Clara gets today's packs already built and a "Done for you" feed of everything handled without her.

Zero messages to book. Zero messages to check in. Just walks. 🐾
I might have overdone it haha because both dashboards fully work :)

From Manual Follow-Up Chasing to an Agent-Run Follow-Up Queue
Before / After: follow-ups, from manual chasing to an agent-run queue
Before: every follow-up lived in someone's memory. The founder checked the inbox, guessed who was waiting, and sent reminders by hand. Leads went quiet not because they said no, but because nobody followed up in time.
After: an agent now runs the follow-up queue. Each lead has a next step and a due date, drafts wait for review, and every reply is logged with its source. The founder reviews the queue once, approves, and moves on.
What changed was not the tool. It was the handoff: one clear owner for each step, a runbook anyone can follow, and a log anyone can audit.
If follow-ups are the bottleneck, fix the handoff first — then automate it.
Making plans with your friends as an adult can be complicated. An endless loop of "we should hang out" with no confirmed date. Quti is a social calendar app that was made to break that loop.
I was the sole designer on this project, and worked directly with Quti's founders on everything from early research and feature scoping, to design system and full UI.
Live on iOS in the UK and Ireland. And by the way, 3 in 4 Quti plans get a response in 22 seconds ;)
One interaction from the Sayless Logistics app: live trip tracking. The rider watches the vehicle move along the route, the ETA count down and the drop order update, so nobody stands at the roadside guessing. It runs in the browser with nothing to install.
Does it account for traffic?
