$50k+ in revenue on Contra. Big milestone.

Here's my full revenue breakdown.

I started freelancing in April 2025 after leaving my job at a design studio. Since then, my income has come from a few different places (not all of it is visible on contra).

Most of it came from ongoing freelance work with startups. As I started working directly with clients on framer websites, I also began offering a monthly retainer for updates, maintenance, and improvements after launch. More recently, I joined Contra Labs, which has been a nice extra source of projects.

Here's the breakdown: • Freelance work: 70% (worked with framer, contra, magicpath etc.) • Direct clients: 24% • Retainers: 4.3% • Contra Labs: 1.7%

The number is nice, but knowing where it comes from is what actually helps you understand how to build something sustainable.

BIG congrats 👏

Super excited to finally take part in my first Contra challenge! I’ve been diving into interactive broadcast design lately, and this project taught me so much about combining motion, data, and gameplay into one connected experience. This is an interactive bowling broadcast package, combining a playable lane with dynamic 10-frame scoring cells, customizable player cards, responsive lower thirds, strike celebrations, and a final results screen. View Models, state machines, layouts, and custom scripting connect the gameplay and broadcast graphics into one responsive system. Unfortunately, the project relies on a custom font that I cannot redistribute, so I’m unable to upload the editable file to the Rive Marketplace.:

You're a legend man, how did you pull of this video and this game setup in such a short span of time? You must be a wizard😂
