Good Job
Always a good feeling to see a project featured on the Contra homepage. Real talk though...this one had a BUMPY start.
If you've ever had a project that felt shaky out of the gate, you know the feeling of dread and disappointment. What turned it around was building a genuinely strong relationship with the client (fitting, since they're a matchmaker). We collaborated with them, worked through the finer details, and by the end, we were both thrilled with the result.
Check out the project here where you can even see a live flip-through of their new brand guide. Leave us a 🖤 or a 🐐 if you like it.
Love this!
