A hotel market place to find a cozy stay for your next escape, inspired by Airbnb.

• Applied Next.js server components with URL search params as the single source of truth for shareable, bookmarkable search state

• Owned the full product lifecycle, from design, build, and deployment to a production recipe website
• Designed the layout, color palette, logo, and component library in Figma before writing a line of code
• Built the UI with Next.js, HeroUI, and TailwindCSS, translating the designs into reusable components
• Deployed to production on Vercel and managed scope and timelines to take the site from concept to live

Designed and built an AI prompt web interface to help people decide what to wear today, according to user's commute, style, weather and other preferences.
