🧵 #GiveItAGlow submission: Tails Cleaners & Tailoring, Old Town Chicago
the #1 rated tailor in old town Chicago has been on wells street for 20+ years. their entire online presence: a google listing that says "add website."
i'm a customer. they saved me before a trip when no other tailor answered the phone. so i built them the site they deserve.
THE BEFORE
→ no website
→ 10 google reviews despite 4.2★ and 37 reviews on yelp
→ wrong hours on every platform, bookings by phone only
THE AFTER — built on @Base44
→ live site: https://tails-old-town.base44.app
→ online booking: capacity-limited slots, confirmation + owner emails
→ alteration quotes with photo upload → straight to the owner's inbox
→ ai assistant that answers hours, services & booking — and never invents pricing

RALLY — Rally Up The Crew 🐏
Rally is a mascot for a social app that kills the group-chat spiral—the endless "idk, what do you want to do?" that keeps friends home instead of out. He turns scattered maybes into a locked plan: table booked, crew confirmed, night in motion.
Rally isn't a character floating on white—he's a full identity system. Neon wordmark, app icon, sticker pack, city-nightlife world, and animation all pull from one palette and one attitude, so he's unmistakable on any surface.
The ram is momentum: the instinct to gather the herd and move. The map pin threaded through his world is the payoff: the plans, places, and meeting points that turn a dead group chat into a real night out.
🐏 Character Brief:
Name: Rally
Role: Captain of the Crew
Personality: Decisive, magnetic, hype, warm, a little bossy, and endlessly ready.
Rally believes the best nights start the second someone finally decides. Whether he's booking the table, rallying up the crew, or getting everyone out the door, Rally reminds us that plans only matter when they're locked in.

IKIGAI — Find Your Future-Fit Career
The Problem:
Students pick careers blind — no tool connects who they are to what the job market actually needs. Existing career quizzes ignore labor market data, and BLS projections are buried in spreadsheets no student will read.
The Solution:
A 10-minute AI-powered assessment that maps your personality, strengths, and values to 923 real careers — scored against Bureau of Labor Statistics growth projections. An AI reranking pipeline personalizes your top matches with custom career narratives.
Workflow — Figma MCP × Claude Code × Vercel:
Built end-to-end using Figma's MCP server connected to Claude Code — bridging design and code in both directions. From pulling design context into the codebase to pushing the live site back into Figma for iteration. Deployed to production via Vercel.
