Surely I cannot be the only one who struggles with their own self promotion of their past work?!
I feel like it is taking me 6+ months just to get this Contra profile up and running to where it is now!
WHY DO I STRUGGLE?!?!
Sound off in the comments to let me know I'm not alone and any tips you have for working on your portfolio/case studies here. (Is it better to do a Case Study or a Network post for example.)

Hi Contra 👋
I'm Alia, founder of Slick Prjct , my small brand strategy and design studio based in Brussels. I've been doing this for 10+ years, both in-house and freelancers side.
I've spent the last few years mostly on Upwork, so starting a profile here from zero feels a bit... strange? In a good way :)
So how is it here?
What do you wish someone had told you in your first month?
Go ahead. I think you will get your desire clients.
I Just Created NOIRÉ 🔥
A Coffee Brand Built Around the Pause.
NOIRÉ is a premium café brand built around a simple idea:
Great coffee should feel like a moment of pause, not another part of the
routine.
The project explores a complete visual identity, packaging
system, takeaway cups, coffee bags, tote bags, menu design, café applications and lifestyle campaign direction.
Instead of relying on the usual loud coffee aesthetics, I
built NOIRÉ around deep charcoal, warm ivory, soft graphite, refined
typography, subtle botanical illustrations and quiet editorial compositions.
The visual language is intentionally dark, tactile, and understated - giving every touchpoint the feeling of a slow morning, a quiet table, and coffee worth taking your time with.
From the cup in your hand to the café around you, every detail was designed to make the brand feel like a ritual.
Waiting for your thoughts in the comments 🙌🔥

A high-converting landing page has one primary job, And this one is basically saying:
“Please get me from the store.” 🔥
Don’t overload your landing page with buttons that confuse your users. Give them one clear direction and make it easy to take action.

Definitely premium. Did they measure if this new design actually brought in more sign-ups and conversions compared to before?
