Copacons faced two key challenges: attracting new members and retaining existing ones, especially those who weren’t fully taking advantage of their benefits.
The approach was simple, concise, and effective: Why settle for just being a member, when you could be a Socioité? BTW, this a very Paraguayan word to describe something that goes beyond what’s expected 😜

The hardest brief in identity work is "make us look serious without making us look corporate."
Serious comes from consistency. Corporate comes from removing anything a person chose.
That distinction is the whole job. The way I hold the line is to keep one deliberate human choice in the system, a slightly warm neutral, a drawn mark, an off-grid detail, and let structure carry everything else. The consistency reads as serious, and that one chosen thing is what keeps it from going flat and faceless.
Building, connecting, and growing as an independent professional. 🚀
Excited to be part of the Contra community.
When I moved from Upwork to Contra, I wasn’t sure whether I was making the right decision.
Now? I’m never going back.
Contra has given me more than a place to find work. It has connected me with clients who value my professional perspective, trust my expertise, and invest...
Blood and Magic - Episode 01
Blood and Magic is a dark fantasy series about Aurelia, a young woman searching for answers about her past in a kingdom where magic is feared, controlled and exploited.
After losing her family to a mysterious soulless army, Aurelia has spent years trying to understand what happened and whether the clues left behind are connected to the kingdom’s hidden magic.
In the pilot, Aurelia secretly leaves the city and meets her companions, Jack and Theo, to continue their investigation. Using a mysterious magical stone, they enter a hidden, buried library-temple where they hope to finally connect the fragments of a mystery they have been chasing for years.
But the deeper Aurelia searches, the more she begins to question whether the answers she has been looking for are actually about magic at all.
Where I would take the series next
Beyond the pilot, Aurelia’s search would expand from a personal mystery into a much larger conflict surrounding the kingdom’s relationship with magic.
The buried library-temple would become a key location for the trio as they uncover fragments of forgotten history, forbidden magic, and the truth behind the soulless army. At the same time, Aurelia would begin to realize that her mother may have left her a clue for a reason she never understood.
Jack’s hidden magical abilities and Theo’s position within the royal family would create their own complications, forcing the three friends to decide how much they are willing to risk for the truth.
As the story continues, Aurelia would have to confront the possibility that her family’s disappearance, the kingdom’s exploitation of magic, and her mother’s final clue are all connected and that finding the truth could put all three of them in danger.
A little note from me
Aurelia is a character I have imagined and carried with me since I was young. Blood and Magic is, in many ways, a story I have been growing alongside for years, so getting the chance to finally bring Aurelia and her world to life has been especially meaningful to me.
Thank you for creating this challenge and for giving creators the opportunity to build something from scratch in Cantina. I had so much fun bringing a character I have known for so long into a new medium, and I learned a lot throughout the process.
This is dope! love the storyline.
