Being here on Contra was never the plan.
Back in end 2021, I was in my 3rd semester.
I picked up Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
Not because of a big vision.
Because I wanted a skill.
At that time, I did not even know Contra existed.
I spent months learning design.
I practiced daily.
Still, I felt lost finding clients.
By the end of the year, I landed a remote internship.
The pay was 5,000 PKR per month.
For me, it was my first earning.
Parallel to this, my education continued.
I was studying BS Physics.
Not tech.
Not design.
Not marketing.
In 2023, things shifted.
I joined the National Freelance Training Program.
That is where content clicked.
I kept practicing.
I kept posting.
Slowly, results followed.
Physics student.
Designer by practice.
Content writer by skill.
None of this was planned.
It was built step by step.

On-brand visual explorations with Midjourney. Does it feel calm, warm and professional?
I really like the colours and the style, however, the actual people make me feel isolated and a bit anxious. It's dream-like which is lovely, but there's something that is not calm or warm for me.
About a year ago, we shared our work for DreamGround here ✨
Since then, a lot has changed. The brand evolved, the positioning shifted – and it was time for the website to evolve with it.
So we came back to the project and redesigned the page to reflect this new direction, while adapting everything to work smoothly in Kajabi.
It was a quick and really enjoyable project – clear communication, trust in the process, and an easy collaboration from start to finish.
We love when clients come back to us as their businesses grow. It’s always special to see how a brand evolves and to be part of its next chapter 🤍
I like that this is a second chapter for the same client. Reworking the page around their new positioning, while making it practical in Kajabi, feels much more valuable than just giving it a new look.
Woke up excited! 🎉 Contra just featured two of my projects, one in Standout Projects, one in Brand Design.
Wasn't expecting to open the app to that. Grateful, and it's a good reminder to keep showing up for your own work even when you don't know who's watching it.
Wooohooo congrats!!
