I think I’ve been using Contra backwards 😂
Most people come here looking for clients.
Meanwhile, I’ve been finding clients through Google, referrals, inbound, and my own network...
then bringing them here.
Contract signed.
Milestones set.
Payment handled.
Project starts.
Rinse and repeat.
And somehow I never really stopped to think:
I’ve been building a track record on Contra without actually trying to build a presence on Contra.
That feels like leaving something on the table.
So maybe it’s time to change that.
More work.
More building.
More sharing the stuff we’re actually creating behind the scenes.
And hopefully, for once...
I won’t have to bring the next client to Contra.
They’ll find me here first. 👀

@Contra HQ @Contra Treating me right! Love this platform so much. It's been such an amazing game changing working with clients through here and being able to showcase my work.
Hello my Contra fam! 👋
Yesterday I posted an A/B poll for Memorabl and most of you picked the more playful, vibrant direction.
But plot twist! The client picked the other one.
And today, after posting the full case study, I can finally tell you why 👀
Memorabl is made for people who can’t attend an event in person, including older family members (70% of the audience btw) who just want to open it, understand it, and feel part of the moment.
So the goal wasn’t to make it the most playful.
It was to make it clear, elegant, and ridiculously easy to use.
Sometimes the flashier option wins the poll.
But the quieter option wins for the actual audience.
The full case study is live on my Contra now! Show some love 😊
Curious, would you still pick the playful one? 👀
The 70% older-family-member detail settles it for me. I'd put the quieter option in front of a few first-time users on their phones and see whether they can open the event without help, because that's the part a poll can't answer.
Heyyy!! I’m new to Contra
I’ve been putting my portfolio together and keep coming across profiles that make me want to work on mine a little longer. Everyone here is so good at presenting their work. This platform is dangerously motivating!!
Anyway, hi everyone! I’m going back to my portfolio now..
