CASA CENDRA — A kiln booking system that understands ceramics before accepting a firing
Business: Casa Cendra, a fictional one-person community kiln studio in Valencia.
Problem solved: Casa Cendra turns incomplete pottery-firing enquiries into compatibility-checked, capacity-aware bookings while routing only unsafe or uncertain work to the solo owner.
A pottery firing cannot safely begin with an ordinary calendar. The owner first needs the clay, glaze, dryness, temperature, dimensions, quantity and deadline. What looks like a simple “Can I book?” becomes a long technical conversation.
I built Casa Cendra to replace that message thread with one guided workflow.
Kiln Fitprint produces three honest outcomes:
• Ready work moves to compatible kiln capacity and scheduling.
• Uncertain work enters a focused owner-review queue.
• Unsafe work is blocked with a clear reason and corrective action.
Customers receive a Firing Passport with their reference, kiln rhythm, preparation requirements, reminder plan and self-service management. They can reschedule, cancel or request an earlier run without starting another conversation.
The owner gets an operations cockpit for exceptions, upcoming kiln work, compatibility details and released-capacity recovery. Simulated reminders and waitlist offers are clearly labelled; the prototype never pretends an external message was delivered.
Before Casa Cendra, every firing begins as manual technical back-and-forth. After Casa Cendra, safe work reaches a valid booking and only uncertain work reaches the owner.

Bonus: a short process walkthrough of how Casa Cendra was built.
It covers the brief, why kiln booking isn't ordinary scheduling, the eight build phases, the deterministic compatibility rules behind the Kiln Fitprint, and the owner-side cancellation recovery loop.

Really clean UI. That gradient card against the dark mockup scene looks sharp, makes a finance app feel a lot less boring.
