Less admin.
More room to create.

Keep the human bit.

Painting People brings groups together to paint with artist Chloé. Each experience starts with a conversation: who is coming, what they have in mind, where it might happen and how it could work.

A traditional booking system didn’t fit: customers often arrived with only some of the details. Chloé had to fill in the gaps and keep track of the practical work herself. I built a structured path from that first enquiry to a confirmed event, alongside a website that captures the spirit of her workshops.

A useful starting point, even without all the answers.

The planner turns an open-ended enquiry into a short visual journey. Organisers can share the group, possible dates, approximate numbers and location without pretending every detail is settled.

It creates a starting brief for Chloé, rather than promising a price or an available date. She still shapes the experience with the customer.

The quieter side of the project.

A private admin brings enquiries and events into one place, including those arriving outside the website. It keeps track of the next action, payment, preparation and follow-up.

Confirmed events connect to Google Calendar. Email templates open in Gmail, ready for Chloé to personalise and send herself. The system helps prepare the work; she stays in control of the conversation.

Built for the Lovable × Contra challenge.

Painting People was created as part of a challenge run by Lovable and Contra, so I built it with Lovable, guided by a detailed product specification and focused rounds of building, testing and refinement. The important decisions were about the business: what to simplify, what to connect and what should stay personal.
