Embroidery storefront

CONCEPT
THE PROBLEM
Taking custom orders through Instagram DMs and Venmo, with no way to show the full catalog at once.
WHAT I’D BUILD
A real storefront with product pages, checkout, and order tracking — built on the same stack as this site.
WHAT CHANGES
Customers browse and buy any time; you stop losing orders in a DM thread.

Catering instant-quote tool

CONCEPT
THE PROBLEM
Every quote meant a phone call and a follow-up text with a price, hours later.
WHAT I’D BUILD
A guest-count and package calculator that prices the event instantly, on the spot.
WHAT CHANGES
Visitors get a number in seconds — and every quote lands in your inbox as a lead.

Weekly owner's report

CONCEPT
THE PROBLEM
Revenue and top sellers lived inside the POS system — checking them meant logging in and digging.
WHAT I’D BUILD
A Monday-morning report that pulls the numbers automatically and emails them to you.
WHAT CHANGES
You start the week already knowing what sold, what didn’t, and when you were busiest.

Payment-reminder automation

CONCEPT
THE PROBLEM
Unpaid invoices only got chased when you happened to notice — which was often too late.
WHAT I’D BUILD
A pipeline that watches every invoice and sends a polite, on-brand reminder automatically.
WHAT CHANGES
You stop being the reminder system. It runs whether or not you remember to check.

Crew scheduling app

CONCEPT
THE PROBLEM
Weekly crew assignments lived in a group text — half of them changed the night before.
WHAT I’D BUILD
A shared schedule board built around how the crews actually work, not a generic calendar app.
WHAT CHANGES
One source of truth for who’s where — no more "wait, did that get moved?"

Online booking

CONCEPT
THE PROBLEM
Appointments were first-come-first-served over DMs, with double-bookings a regular problem.
WHAT I’D BUILD
The exact booking system running on this site — real-time availability, no double-bookings possible.
WHAT CHANGES
Clients book themselves in seconds; you never again cross-reference three group chats to find an opening.
