Hey everyone!
I’m Clara and I’m new here 🌝
I'm a brand designer from London.
I’ve worked at agencies for the past 10 years but I'd love to build up more of my own client base and work more independently.
I'm hoping Contra will help but still getting to grips with it so would appreciate any tips!
lovely to meet you too!
Welcome Clara 😊
Thanks 🙃

Follow me on Contra for more updates! 🚀
Great concept and a very strong visual direction.
I’m officially on Contra! 👋
I’m Sal a social media designer who builds cohesive, custom-designed feeds for brands. So far I’ve created posts for Margin, a skincare brand, and Sky’s Cafe, a coffee shop, and each one got its own look, voice, and personality.🙌
I’m here to take on more projects with clients who care about how their brand shows up online: style guides, Canva templates, custom posts, and content calendars that are realistic to keep up.
I’m new to the platform, so I’d love to connect with other freelancers and hear what’s worked for you. And if you’re looking for a designer to give your feed a point of view, my portfolio is here
Welcome on board!
6 weekends until Christmas. 🎄
That’s 6 chances to finish your portfolio, organize your files and clean up the desktop from all the useless screenshots you have been saving.
No pressure, designers. 😂
What’s making it onto your pre-Christmas to-do list?
Finish client work. New website design and development. New onboarding and management for clients. New proposal templates. Update all social media platforms. New case study presentation. Update services...
No big deal
