✍ Sometimes, everyone has the ability to move forward, but progress stops because everyone is waiting for someone else to start. In these moments, the missing piece isn’t capability. It’s initiative. Someone has to take the first step. ✨

🧠 GROWTH TIP 06/30: DON’T START WITH WHERE. START WITH THE FEELING.
Most travel apps start with one question: “Where do you want to go?”
That works when the user already knows the answer. But a lot of travel discovery starts earlier, with a much less specific thought: I want to go somewhere, I just don’t know where yet.
That idea became Traveling Up, a travel randomizer concept.
Instead of asking users to work through dozens of filters, the product starts with just three signals:
🌍 how much time they have
🎭 how they want the trip to feel
☀️ what kind of climate they prefer
The destination stays a surprise.
Hypothesis: removing destination selection from the first step could move users faster from vague travel intent to genuine interest in one specific trip.
What I would test:
• Destination first search vs Mood first randomizer
• Randomize start rate
• Destination save rate
• Plan this trip CTR
• Time to first interesting destination
💡 Growth insight: in discovery products, uncertainty is not always friction. Sometimes it is exactly what creates curiosity and moves users toward the next action.
This concept came to me after a particularly inspiring trip. And I think it is the first mobile concept I have created purely for myself, rather than for a client project, in roughly three years.
So this one has a little more freedom, art direction, and product experimentation in it.
06/30 complete.
If you enjoy seeing mobile product experiments like this alongside the growth thinking behind them, follow along. And if this direction resonates, a reaction helps me understand which ideas are worth exploring deeper next.

Just 2 weeks on Contra and top 5% 🤯 🇧🇷 WHAT??
In the last 14 days I've landed my first 2 clients with glowing reviews, got accepted into the exclusive Contra Labs for top-tier talent, and I'm currently negotiating high-ticket monthly retainers. ☕️
If you’re just getting started: your profile is your sales funnel. The Contra score follows clarity, proof of work, and real strategy.
Feel free to follow my profile, mirror the structure of my case studies, and use it as a framework to elevate your own positioning. Keep grinding! 👊
Amazing results, Bernardo! Did you focus on outbound pitches or optimizing your profile for inbound search first?
Starting the week with 3 client calls in a row.
2 active Framer + brand projects
1 new product design lead
Later this week I’m catching up with a former client who went from Seed to enterprise in 3 years. Could turn into my biggest project so far ✌️
