Honestly, I came to Contra just looking for work.

But somewhere along the way, I realized — that's not the whole picture.

I've been in UI/UX for 10+ years, and at some point, you stop just doing the work and start craving something more. The competition. The community. The friction of being around people who are just as serious about craft as you are.

So here I am. Not only to land projects, but to:

— compete in challenges and see how my work holds up against the best designers in the world — connect with people in my field who actually get what this work is about — pick up new perspectives from colleagues I haven't met yet — and give back where I can, because that's how this whole thing works

If you're a UI/UX designer, a creative director, or just someone who cares deeply about what they make — let's connect.

I'm here for all of it.

I built a social network that tells you to touch grass. 🌱 It's called Touch Grass. Try it yourself ↓ https://buffet-crayon-23938188.figma.site/

Technology keeps moving us forward, but it also keeps us glued to screens. So I wanted to build something that gently pushes in the opposite direction.

Every user gets their own planet.

Upload photos you've taken in nature and watch your world come back to life. Miss a few days and it slowly starts fading again.

Every planet belongs to a real person. Explore the galaxy and discover worlds that other people are growing through their own photos and memories.

Built the entire thing in @Figma Make. Made for the @contra x @Figma #ConfigMakeathon
