I designed and developed the complete responsive event platform, transforming a traditional birthday invitation into a secure RSVP and guest management system.
My technical contribution included the responsive web interface, password-protected access, RSVP logic, form validation, structured guest data collection, attendance tracking, Google Maps integration, and a private administrator dashboard.
I created the RSVP workflow to separately register invited children, siblings, and accompanying adults. For this children's event, attendance was limited to one accompanying adult per invited child, giving the organizer greater control over event capacity while still allowing families to clearly communicate who would attend.
I also developed an exclusive administrator dashboard where RSVP information could be viewed and managed in one centralized place. Instead of manually reviewing WhatsApp conversations and counting confirmations, the organizer could immediately see how many children and adults had confirmed attendance.
The platform was designed around real event-planning needs. The event was being organized for approximately 70 guests, with more than 40 children expected. Knowing the number of confirmed children was especially important because personalized cups were being prepared for them. Separating adult and child attendance also provided a more accurate estimate for catering, beverages, seating, and overall capacity.
Password-protected access added privacy to the guest experience by preventing anyone with only the public URL from immediately accessing event details such as the location and schedule. The administrator experience was kept separate from the guest-facing invitation.
The result was a centralized digital workflow:
Secure Access → Invitation → RSVP → Guest Database → Admin Dashboard → Event Planning
The solution replaced scattered manual confirmations with structured RSVP data that could be used directly for operational decisions. It gave the organizer clearer visibility into expected attendance, reduced uncertainty when ordering food and personalized items, and provided better control over the total number of guests.
The platform was built with a mobile-first approach so guests could complete the entire RSVP process directly from their phones, while the organizer could use the collected information to make faster and more accurate event-planning decisions.

Paws & Pour: 3D Interactive Booking for Experiential Cafés 🐾
Business Name: Paws & Pour Cat Café
Location: Kemang, South Jakarta
Archetype: Appointment-based Experiential Café
Realistic Problems:
The solo owner is drowning in WhatsApp DMs and playing "table tetris" every single day. Customers don't just want any table; they want to sit near specific resident cats (like Mochi or Pepper). Additionally, due to high demand, the café strictly caps visits at 30, 60, or 90-minute sessions. This causes endless back-and-forth messaging, manual double-booking errors, and frustrated walk-ins.
I transformed a chaotic, manual DM-based reservation process into a self-serve, mobile-optimized 3D map, allowing guests to independently secure their exact table, time slot, and preferred cat companion instantly.
Fixing the Front Door :
To turn an inbound inquiry into a confirmed booking with zero effort from the owner, I completely redesigned the customer-facing booking flow. Instead of a boring, standard form, I built an immersive 3D seating map where customers can:
- Pick Their Vibe: Visually explore the café layout and select a specific cozy corner. See where their favorite resident cats are currently hanging out on the map.
- Lock in the Rules: Select precise session lengths (30, 60, or 90 minutes) during the booking process, automatically setting expectations.
- Book Anywhere: Experience a flawless, fully mobile-optimized booking journey directly from their phone.
The Impact:
The owner’s manual work goes from hours of coordinating schedules, answering DMs, and managing table assignments to zero. The real-time admin portal automatically handles availability, updates the seating chart, and tracks guest sessions. The owner can finally focus on running the café and taking care of the cats instead of staring at a screen.

3D interaction while booking looks great!
A self-initiated product: a booking and ordering system for a billiard club in Tbilisi. I designed it in Figma from scratch and built all of it, from the interface to the database.
Guests call the club and nobody answers. They arrive and every table is taken. They want food and wait at the bar. Side Pocket moves all of that to the website.
Key decisions
No guest accounts. A booking needs a name and a phone number. The guest gets a private link to move, extend or cancel. The link is the account.
A 15-minute hold. Guests check in with "I'm at the table." A table nobody claims goes to the waitlist, and the next person gets the same 15 minutes.
Ordering tied to the table. Guests order from their phone during the game, add time themselves and see the bill as it grows.
One screen for staff. Every table's state for the night, late arrivals and orders to serve pinned to the top, bookings and orders boards, alerts in Telegram.
A Telegram bot. It understands "table for 4 tonight at 8" in English or Russian and finishes the booking with buttons.
Scope
Guest site with live availability, single and group booking, waitlist, private booking page, table page with menu, cart and bill, email confirmations and reminders, staff dashboard, Telegram bot.
Stack
React 19, TanStack Start, TanStack Router and Query, Tailwind 4, Radix UI, Supabase Postgres with row-level security, pg_cron, Brevo and Resend, Telegram Bot API, Vitest.
Business rules sit in plain functions, separate from the UI and the database, with 73 tests. Only server functions touch the database.
My role
Product design, UI design, front-end, back-end, database, integrations.

nicety accomplished.. great work
Not everything worth buying should be bought in a hurry. That idea shaped the Seram. e-commerce experience. Built around small-batch stoneware, craftsmanship, and everyday rituals, the website was designed to feel more like a quiet studio than a busy online store.
The experience brings together:
→ Seasonal collections
→ Curated product discovery
→ Craft and studio storytelling
→ Practical product details
→ Customer reviews
→ Clear shopping paths
The visual system stays warm, editorial, and restrained so the objects remain the focus. Because when something is made with patience, the digital experience should give people a reason to slow down and appreciate it.
Seram.
Objects made of patience.
