Much like a lot of people, I don’t like setting rigid goals, but for my #2026goals, I do want a few soft intentions to build on.

I want to: – Make Contra a real home base for my freelance work – Refresh my (very overdue) website and brand – Explore Framer for personal projects – Experiment with AI tools in a way that feels curious, but still mindful and aligned with my values

One of the nicest surprises of joining Contra late last year has been the community. I've spent most of my freelancing life just chasing clients, so I’m really enjoying connecting with other creatives and being part of something a bit more human.

On a more personal note, after some health scares in my family last year, I’m also trying to be more present, appreciating the quiet, normal days instead of always waiting for something big.

To a kind 2026✨
