Just got my Framer Expert badge on Contra - honestly feels surreal.
I picked up Framer while living in Whistler during my second ski season, building my business out of the public library on a borrowed laptop. Back then I had no idea this tool would end up becoming the thing I’d build my career on.
Fast-forward to now: I’m designing custom, high-performance Framer sites for D2C brands, SaaS startups, and e-commerce teams, and it’s officially become the skill I’m most proud of.
Framer is finally taking off in the US, Framer Commerce is exploding, and I’m stoked to be part of the early wave of people pushing what’s possible with it.
Excited for what’s next, and grateful for every project that got me here.
If you're building something modern and want it levelled up, I’m always down to collaborate.

Given the explosion of Framer Commerce, what is the most critical feature (e.g., specific animation, database connection) you’re now focusing on to push the boundaries for e-commerce clients?
Great question. For me, the biggest boundary-pusher right now isn’t one single feature, it’s the combination of speed, flexibility, and conversion-first design that Framer Commerce unlocks.
Traditional Shopify builds still rely on Liquid templates, rigid theme structures, and...
That combination of speed, cost reduction, and CRO focus is the undisputed killer feature of Framer Commerce!
I completely agree—speed, cost, and conversion-first design are the three biggest wins over traditional e-commerce builds.
Congrats Jamie!
That is an incredible story of dedication—going from a borrowed laptop in a public library to becoming a certified Expert and building a career on that skill!
That is a truly inspiring story, achieving the Framer Expert badge after building your career on it is absolutely well-deserved!
Congrats!
