I built STILL, an independent photography studio based in Manchester: https://light-and-still.lovable.app
Getting clients through the front door is only half the battle. For solo photographers, the real nightmare is the busywork after someone asks to book: chasing prep forms, sending photoshoot directions, reminding people about remaining balances, and following up on stalled leads.
STILL solves both sides of the counter:
The front door: Clients explore an interactive photo globe, pick their session, check live studio slots, and lock it in with a deposit. Confirmation, calendar invites, and photoshoot prep go out immediately.
Automated follow-through: The studio desk tracks every photoshoot's lifecycle. Pre-shoot questionnaires, 48-hour balance reminders, and location guides can be sent in one tap or set to run automatically.
No lost revenue: If someone abandons halfway through checkout or goes quiet on an inquiry, STILL catches it and drafts a tailored follow-up to recover the booking.
Studio control: The owner can set custom studio hours, block out multi-day holidays in one click, and deliver finished high-res photo galleries directly to clients.
From initial inquiry to final photo handoff, without the owner spending their evenings playing receptionist.

For this challenge, I used several tools connected to Paper and Paper's Canvas to build Roam - a restaurant, eatery, and activity finder for Manchester.
I wanted to create it because, coming back from uni with time to finally explore the city, I needed a way to visualise places I'd been meaning to visit on a map.
I started by using Claude Code in the terminal to pull a button from my portfolio repo, then rebuilt and redesigned it in the Paper canvas for this project. From there, I used Claude Code and Gemini CLI to generate screens and variants via Paper MCP, picked my favourite, and brought it to life as a functional design in the new Lovable Desktop app using Paper MCP connection.
I then synced the project to Cursor via GitHub and continued iterating - adding advanced features like maps, a light/dark mode using colour styles from my Paper Canvas, and a chatbot, both designed with Claude Code and Paper MCP. I finally powered the chatbot using Lovable AI and used the Paper metal shader for the chatbot button.
