Lens & Link is a mobile app for finding and booking photographers. It connects clients with photographers based on city, date, and shooting genre.
There are two registration paths. A photographer creates a profile with their name, genre, city, hourly rate, and portfolio. A client registers with just a name and email. The same account can function as both — a photographer can also book other photographers through the platform.
Each user has a personal dashboard split into two views: their incoming or outgoing bookings, and their profile. Bookings have statuses — pending, confirmed, cancelled, completed — and both sides receive email notifications at each stage.
Search works by city, date, and genre. The app has a bottom navigation bar for smooth movement between sections.

How it was built
I'm a designer, not a developer. I used Claude to generate the full app architecture from a text prompt — database structure, data types, workflows, and page logic. That became my starting point inside Bubble.
From there I worked through the bindings and workflow connections myself, using Bubble's built-in AI agent and the Claude browser extension as support. When something wasn't clear, I asked the agent directly. When I could figure it out — I did.
The UI and design decisions were mine throughout. The AI handled the logic foundation; I handled how it looks, feels, and flows.
For the judges:
This is my first experience with Bubble. During submission I discovered that the starter plan doesn't generate a shareable live link for mobile apps — something I wasn't aware of going in. I'm attaching an alternative link to the app preview below.
Thank you for your understanding.
Such a brilliant marketplace concept! The dual-role account logic is a great UX choice for the creative industry. Incredible job taking complete control over the visual decisions while utilizing AI to handle the database structure for your first Bubble app. Good luck at the hackathon! 🌟👏
Thanks. 😊
Incredible work for your first time using Bubble! 🎯 The design looks super clean. Good luck in the competition! 🙌🚀
Thanks!
Wow, it’s incredible
Thanks😊
This is a really cool concept. Nice work!💯 😍
thanks!
This looks like a well-thought-out marketplace concept. The booking flow and user roles make the product feel complete. Nice job
thanks for feedback😊
This is incredibly inspiring! You nailed the product logic and this is such a smart, friction-free UX pattern for a creative marketplace. Massive respect for shipping this as your first Bubble app 🔥 and best of luck with the hackathon! 🚀
Thanks😊
Impressive work with Bubble and Claude, Natalia!
😊 Thanks
Superb!
Thanks😊
This is the kind of UX that quietly solves a real problem. Finding the right photographer shouldn't feel like you're scrolling through 200 Instagram bios and hoping for the best. 😅
Love how the experience feels streamlined without sacrificing personality. Great balance between functionality and clean visual design. Nice work!
Thanks for such a detailed review ☺️

🎴 TASTY TEST 06/30: Which travel discovery experience would you choose?
Traveling Up is probably my first mobile concept outside client work in almost three years. It was inspired by a trip where not knowing the destination was part of the fun.
Same app. Same destination. Two ways to discover it.
🤍 A Clean Carousel
Calmer, lighter, more familiar.
💚 B Immersive Deck
Bigger imagery, stronger overlap, more tactile navigation.
Which one makes you want to swipe and see where the app takes you next?
A or B? 👇

Really happy with how this interaction turned out. Sound effects feel super satisfying as well
The interaction feels so satisfying. The sound effects are a really nice touch. 🔥
I’ve seen a lot of posts on X about Astra’s ability to generate impressive designs from a single prompt.
TBH, I’d seen similar claims before (about other models) and then discovered that the “prompt” included a whole block of HTML, CSS, and JS 🤭
This time, though, Astra genuinely surprised me.
I already had a landing page with a defined color palette, typography, visual elements generated with Adobe Firefly. I gave Astra the landing page (.png) and just one sentence: “Generate one more section here using this text:…”
And somehow, I got 10 distinct ideas that all felt consistent with the original design - from the colours and spacing to the typography and overall visual language.
Even the new visual elements matched the texture of the ones already used on the landing page.
So far, I haven’t been able to get the same level of visual consistency from Claude.
Have you tried Astra for visual exploration?
I love the visuals!
