First full year as a freelancer done 10+ clients.
But what really stuck with me wasn’t the number.
It was realizing how much each project shapes your reputation.
No team, no brand behind you, just your work.
If you do a great job, it compounds.
If you don’t… it shows just as fast.
Most of my new clients this year came from previous work or referrals, which made me rethink how I approach every project.
Curious how do you guys think about this?
Do you focus more on getting new clients, or maximizing each project?
Great work👏🔥🔥
Thanks!!

I focus more on retention than looking for new clients everytime by delivering exceptional experience with whoever I worked with

Love the vibe!
I'm thinking about doing a deep refresh of my portfolio. Portfolios should reflect your taste and personality. I'm not sure that my actual one does.
Here the new one, what do you think?
I really enjoyed browsing the site, great work!
