Avela Care 🦷 - Brooklyn, NY
Booking a dental appointment shouldn’t turn into a week of phone calls and messages.
Meet Avela Care, a small dental clinic in Brooklyn where the front desk spends too much time checking availability, answering insurance questions, confirming appointments and handling rescheduling.
I designed and built a booking experience in @Lovable that takes patients from “Can I book?” to “You’re booked.” They choose their visit, answer a few relevant questions, see available times, add their details and insurance and confirm their appointment.
Once booked, patients can view their appointment, add it to their calendar, reschedule or cancel online - without calling the clinic or creating an account.
On the clinic side, confirmations, insurance verification and reminders are handled automatically, reducing repetitive work for the front desk.
The goal was simple: less coordination for the clinic, and a simpler booking experience for patients.

What I Built
I built Glow & Grace, a self-service booking website for a solo, home-based nail studio in DHA Phase 5, Karachi. Clients can view services and prices, pick an open time slot, and get instantly confirmed — no messages exchanged with the owner. The owner has a simple dashboard where every booking appears automatically, along with deposit status, so there's no manual confirming or texting required.
Why I Built It
Solo, appointment-based businesses like small nail studios, salons, and home-based service providers often run entirely on WhatsApp. The owner is doing the client's nails with one hand and replying to booking messages with the other — checking availability, confirming times, and texting reminders, all manually. This doesn't scale, wastes hours every week, and leads to double-bookings or missed messages. I wanted to solve the actual bottleneck: turning "can I book with you?" into "you're booked" without the owner lifting a finger, while also addressing the no-show problem with a small deposit built into the booking flow.

I love the color style
Meet Marlowe Frames — a solo wedding & portrait photographer based in
Asheville, NC.
The problem: every booking inquiry came through Instagram DMs. Marlowe
could only reply in the evenings, and by the time she did, couples had
often already booked someone faster. No calendar, no real-time
availability — just email back-and-forth, double-booked slots, and
hours lost to admin every week.
So I rebuilt her entire "inquiry to booked" journey as one seamless,
cinematic experience:
→ A scroll-driven landing page that feels like a luxury product site —
not a generic booking form
→ Live availability with real slot-locking — no double-bookings, ever
→ A 2-minute booking flow: pick a session, pick a time, confirm — done
→ Self-serve reschedule/cancel, so clients never need to email her
→ A full owner dashboard — bookings, revenue, blocked dates — with zero
spreadsheets
The result: an inbound "can I book with you?" becomes a confirmed
booking in under 2 minutes, with almost no manual effort from Marlowe.

Built entirely in @Lovable for lovablechallenge
Day 3 of working on my project for the Lovable Challenge.
And somehow, almost one full day of those three went into the intro you see when the page first opens.
Not because it was necessary — mostly because I’ve wanted to try something like this for a long time.
Web design and development are far from my main field, so I kept putting this idea off. This challenge finally gave me a reason to test it properly — and seeing it actually work is ridiculously satisfying.
The video was converted into an image sequence and tied directly to scrolling on desktop and swiping on mobile, so the animation is controlled by the user as they move through the page.
Right now the project is already at Build 4.2.3.
The backend is working properly, the main mechanics are in place, but visually… there’s still a lot to redo. The current plan is to rebuild almost the entire visual layer before the final version.
I also found out today that Lovable reduced the number of prize spots quite significantly — apparently, there will only be 3 finalists.
That definitely makes the odds a little more painful 😅
But either way, I’m already getting a new portfolio case out of this project, and I’m finally experimenting with things I’ve wanted to build for a long time.
How’s everyone else doing?
Still working on your project, or have you already submitted it?
Or did you decide not to participate at all? If so, I’m curious — what made you skip it?
