My year started off tough. Due to a disagreement over changes to my contract, I decided to leave a well-paid job in Peru. 🙎
Yes, perhaps it provided security and stability for my family...
But those changes were going to rob me of my peace and tranquility, and they wouldn't limit me to just being another office worker. 💪 I dont know if i choose the rigth way but...
Today 🚀 , March 16th, my adventure begins. For all of you who have been freelancers for a while, what would your advice be?
Congrats on taking the leap! You're on Contra so you're definitely in the right place. Create high quality projects on Contra, share your work in the community and build your reputation with reviews, and earnings! And don't get discouraged or be hard on yourself if things move...
Thank you so much, your words give me encouragement! 🥹
Keep focus and persistent on your tasks and you will grow for sure..

Hey everyone!!
I'm so excited to let you know that I've teamed up with Adobe to host a design challenge on Instagram called 'Express your Creativity'
You'll need to create a carousel post on Adobe Express about the topic: What fuels your creativity?
It can be anything about your inspirations, routines, emotions, or even the chaos behind your process.
This isn’t just about making something look good.
It’s about expressing an idea, building a narrative, and creating something that feels like you.
