Attention, Contra people🚨
Only proceed if you're in the mood for a laugh😅
A while ago, I was working with a client who needed lots of video ads every month. And by "lots," I mean 36 videos, 3 hooks each, 2 formats.
That's 216 files. Every. Single. Month.
Sounds like a lot, but we were ready.
THEN... things got interesting.
40 videos. 5 hooks each. 3 formats. Yep, SIX HUNDRED.
In 2 weeks.
And what did we tell the client? "Pff... two weeks? Easy."
Turns out, I was a little too optimistic🙃
This took us over a month. Not exactly our proudest moment.
But hey, that little disaster pushed us to rethink our workflow.
And the system we built? It eventually allowed us to deliver
150 files in just 7 calendar days.

Hey Contra, I disappeared for a bit. Not because I stopped caring about design, I just needed a breather 🫂
I continued to work, but couldn't bring myself to post something here. Burnout caught up with me, and honestly that “you’re not good enough” voice doesn’t make a comeback any easier. Funny how you can work hard for years and impostor syndrome still shows up like it pays rent.
But I’m back, easing into it this time. I’ve also been posting some design content on my Insta along the way.
If you’ve been in that spot too: you’re not behind. Anyway, good to be here again🎉 For now you can take a look at one of the key screens of my new project that I can't wait to finish and show y'all!
Nice to see you here again 🎉 I'm waiting for the project updates 🤗
Your launch video has 3 seconds. Most spend them on a logo.
Nobody cares who you are yet. They care whether you get their problem.
So open on the problem, show the fix, and save the logo for the last frame.
This is the opening of Plumbline, a concept launch film we cut to the beat.
What's the first thing your launch video shows?

Leading with the problem gives the launch story immediate relevance.
