Hi everyone! I recently joined Contra and I’m currently building my profile and portfolio here. 😊
I have completed more than 500 projects as a video editor and motion designer, but I’m still learning how Contra’s discovery system works.
I would really appreciate any advice on improving my Discovery Score and increasing profile visibility. Are there specific things that made a noticeable difference for you, such as uploading more projects, collecting recommendations, staying active in the community, or optimizing your profile?
I’d also love to hear how you found your first clients on Contra and what helped you receive more inquiries.
Thanks in advance for any tips!

A few days ago, I didn't know Rive.
Today, I built an interactive Tour de France broadcast concept from scratch.
I learned Rive during the challenge, designed the interface in Figma, illustrated the entire race scene, animated every component, and somehow turned an idea that felt impossible into a working prototype.
Still learning. Still making mistakes. Still having fun.
That's probably my favorite part of being a designer.
Is any of the tools you used paid or pro version?
Penrose Audio is now a verified Studio on Contra 🖤
Really grateful to @Contra HQ team for the vetting.
One suggestion, offered with love❤️: Could we get a Sound Design & Music category?
Right now audio studios sit under Video Production, next to editors and film crews, which makes us pretty hard to find. Every launch video, product demo, and brand film briefed on Contra also needs sound, so my hunch is that a dedicated filter would surface a whole layer of talent that's already here and just uncategorized.
@Ben Huffman 🙌, happy to help think through the subcategories if it's ever on the roadmap.✌🏼🚀
Opened Contra this morning and… TOP 5%. WHAT?! 🤯✨
We honestly didn't expect to wake up to this.
Thank you for every upgoat, like, comment, and follow. You helped us get here. ❤️
Let's see how far we can take this. 🚀 @Contra HQ
🐐 + 💬 = ❤️
Wow, it's amazing 👏
