Hey Contra 👋 I’m Alex, founder of a Hyperactive design agency we built ~80K followers on Dribbble, stayed Top Rated Plus on Upwork for 5 years, and got featured among Dribbble’s top product design agencies in 2025.
𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐈’𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐨.
Maybe someone remembers me from Contra’s challenge, where I won $3K that was the moment I fell in love with this platform.
I've set myself one goal: 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫.
I’ll share what I do to grow here, what works, what doesn’t, and what other freelancers/studios can repeat.
