I’m between projects right now. So I tried a different kind of work. 🔧
I took a job disassembling a turbine. It took me 5 minutes. They paid me $5.
That’s $1 a minute, or $60 an hour. 🤯
Now I’m wondering: what is actually harder, design or serious physical work?
When I design, nobody sees the hours of thinking, the 15 versions, and the small details that make it work. When I take apart a turbine, the result is clear right away.
I’ve been a designer for 6 years (web, Webflow, motion and presentations). Both kinds of work need focus, patience and care.
What do you think? Which one is harder? 👇
And yes, I’m still looking for work. If you need a web designer, a Webflow developer or a motion/presentation designer, write to me. 🙌

New on Contra, not new to design.
I draw logos by hand, then build everything around them: the brand, the website, the store. Lately I also make product films and ads with AI.
Recent work: an RY monogram and site for a Koreatown law firm, a winged W for a defense firm, and my family's golf eyewear brand, from the mascot to Shopify.
Starting a brand, or have one that doesn't feel like you yet? Show me what you're building.
The logo-led system reads tight because the wordmark sits clean in the negative space instead of fighting the emblem — when a brand has that kind of restraint, the Shopify store usually carries the same hierarchy into the product grid and checkout without inventing new rules....
Healthcare web design collection. Four clients, one category, very different briefs.
Good Company Dental: warm and community-first. Dark tones, real patient photos, trust built through storytelling.
Carolin Schrinner: professional interpreter and translator. Clean navy and teal, credential-forward, built for international clients.
Vineland Dental: neighbourhood practice with 26 years in the community. Approachable layout, bilingual, patient-centred copy.
COVA Dental: premium and editorial. Sage and warm neutrals, before/after showcases, feels more like a lifestyle brand than a clinic.
Every brief in healthcare comes down to the same thing. Make people feel safe before they even book. That is what good design does here 🩺
this is amazing design
Kajabi Wellness Education Platform Development
Developed a Kajabi-based wellness education platform for Nilda that combined online learning, CRM integrations, and a structured course ecosystem. The project focused on creating an intuitive educational experience, streamlining user journeys, and supporting long-term engagement through scalable platform architecture and conversion-focused design.
The Kajabi-to-CRM handoff is a useful part of this build to unpack. I’d check that a learner who purchases stops receiving prospect follow-ups and gets the right access message, including when the same email already exists in the CRM. Which system owns that customer-status change here?
