How can you start to change the world in a week? 👀

Introducing: PLOT

For this Bubble #promptandcircumstance challenge, I spent that time building out this Community-focused application where people share their placemaking projects alongside insights and updates that others can learn from. You can explore initiatives across multiple categories, see details and updates, learn from their processes, discover new communities, and start initiatives of your own.

For me, inspiration for innovation has always come mostly from small towns. Not the San Franciscos or New Yorks of the world — the Mabletons and the Abbevilles. Why? Because there . . . conversions mean getting your friend to help with a food drive, not acquiring users. Growth is rooted in seeing small grassroots initiatives turn into bigger ones, and there aren’t 6 rounds of interviews required — just grabbing a shovel and being willing to get a little dirty. 🧑🏾‍🌾

The app was originally called Tend (inspired by a local garden I now help with when spending time away from my screen), but the brand strategist in me thought a little harder and changed it to Plot. Because the platform is about more than caring for communities. It's about intentionally planning, shaping, and sharing the projects rooted in a place (kind of like plotting a garden before it grows).

Stay tuned to the end of the explainer video to learn about my prompting process and what Bubble AI was able to start me off with ✨

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.

Wow, it’s incredible
