Hey Contra community 👋
I’ve noticed a lot of UI/UX, website designers, and packaging designers consistently posting wins and getting clients here — which is awesome! But it makes me curious…
Are there brand designers on Contra getting clients too?
Like — actual paid work, repeat clients, contracts, collabs?
👉 If you’re a brand designer here — what’s your experience been like?
Serious question:
💬 Does brand design convert as well as UI/UX or packaging design on this platform?
Would love to hear real stories — wins, struggles, what’s working, what’s not.
Hi! I recently joined "Contra" and let me tell you, seeing so many posts from so many people who have already earned x amount can be extremely demotivating. Because you start wondering why you can't get any work. At the same time, if you're like me, you start working on your...
Exactly — that’s what I’m curious about! 👀
I totally get the point about UI/UX designers dominating posts and visibility — it makes sense that the algorithm favors what’s popular. But I’m wondering how brand designers are actually landing clients here.
Honestly... I don't know. I've read several posts on other platforms that say most of the earnings come from outside the site, but the payment links are made through here. I've also seen many people say they actually get clients, regardless of the field.
Honestly, same here — I’ve only used the project/invoice feature on Contra so far. I did bring a client from Behance, but it makes me question if the Pro subscription is really worth it when, for months, I haven’t landed a project directly through the platform.
I’m still curious...
I’m new to Contra as well, so I completely relate to what you’re both saying. I work on other platforms and only started posting my work here this week, but I’m still trying to understand how things actually work on this platform.
Do clients really find you through posting, or is...

Just wrapped a new branding project ⚡
DealDesk helps companies negotiate smarter SaaS dealswith a strong premise - “Every vendor has a Deal Desk. Buyers should too.”
The challenge? They needed to look premium enough for C-suite trust but modern enough to stand out. Go too corporate and you're just another boring procurement firm. Too startup-y and you lose the gravitas. Threading that needle was exactly the kind of ask that makes branding work so fun.
We’re now moving into web + asset design under my Design Support service - taking the brand from strategy into real-world touchpoints.
Full case study is live 👀 Check it out
The DealDesk branding is so sharp! That balance of premium and modern is exactly right for a B2B SaaS brand — the dark teal palette and clean typography really communicate trust. Great work!
Super!
What are the unwritten rules of good design?
Like everything, the labels and stickers that hide on the undersides and insides of our products have been considerately designed, often following strict brand and system rules.
I love systems, so typographic, grid-based design will always have a place in my heart. This is my small tribute to micrographics, each following the systems I've been seeing in the wild.
I'm a simple man: I see nice typo + microdesign = I press goat
