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 β€” 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 β€” pending, confirmed, cancelled, completed β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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! πŸŒŸπŸ‘
