POPLAB.

A photobooth platform for SoCal — booking, inventory, and the on-site event-night flow that actually matters. Built around the person running the booth at the wedding, not the marketer in the office.

POP.

The brief.

Photobooth operators have a deceptively complex workflow: a public-facing booking site, a private inventory of cameras and props, and — most critically — the live event-night run where the operator on-site needs to set up fast, troubleshoot mid-event, and tear down clean. Most "photobooth software" handles the first thing and barely touches the other two.

Now.

POPLAB is live and booking events. The platform's design constraint — "the operator at the booth is the customer" — is the same one driving every other thing the studio builds, just in a different vertical.
