To all freelancers who are starting on Contra, here is what I would recommend 👇
Welcome @Kristina Moroz ✨
I started Contra 6 months ago, the platform helped me to connect with the best designers and clients. People are open here, I love it 💛
If I were you, here is what I would focus on:
Projects
- If you have many portfolio projects, create case studies
- If you...
This advice is so actionable — especially the case studies point. Contra's community genuinely feels different, everyone is so open and supportive. Starting here was the right call!
HRM Case Study
We designed and built the brand and digital experience for HRM, a PEO/EOR provider focused on Mexico.
The challenge was structuring multiple services: payroll, compliance, benefits, into a clear, unified system.
The result is a controlled interface, strong hierarchy, and a visual system that communicates trust and operational precision.
Cool Design
Purple Melon is a strategic design agency helping wholesale brands secure shelf space in retail giants like Walmart, Target, and TJ Maxx. We are rapidly scaling our DesignVAULT—a high-performance subscription service—and we are looking for a rigorous Freelance Production & Packaging Designer to join our execution engine on a long-term, independent contractor basis.
Getting your work in front of Walmart, Target, and TJ Maxx is no small thing — that's serious retail shelf presence! The DesignVAULT model sounds like a really efficient way to scale output. A packaging designer with strong system thinking would thrive here!
