Hey Contra fam! Just wanted to share a small (but massive) win for me recently: I'm getting booked as a visual designer by a US company for 10 days later this month! 🙏 😭 I got referred, seemingly out of the blue, by someone on the team and my role will be to step in for someone for a short while. I haven't had my hourly rate confirmed, and I'm not even sure if they want me in-office in San Francisco, but you know what? I don't care about any of that. I'm tear-eyed to be given the opportunity.

Just putting this out there hoping it'll resonate with some: There is hope. Personal connections matter more than anything. Trust that it's going to work out, because it will.
