Hi Contra 👋

I'm Alia, founder of Slick Prjct , my small brand strategy and design studio based in Brussels. I've been doing this for 10+ years, both in-house and freelancers side. I've spent the last few years mostly on Upwork, so starting a profile here from zero feels a bit... strange? In a good way :)
