First $1,000 on Contra
My first milestone - earned through one project, one client, and a lot of attention to detail.
What made the difference was not just the design. It was honest communication.
When something wasn't working, I flagged it before the client noticed. That built more trust than any pixel-perfect screen ever could.
I built the homepage for Grand Coastal Hotel in Guyana.
Full Webflow build - navbar, brand system, footer, responsive across every breakpoint.
Every decision documented. Every hour accountable.
Freelancing teaches you fast. Communicate honestly. Flag problems early. Deliver clean work.
On to the next one :)
Thanks @Contra HQ

That's ironic, I deleted all my work last night to do this and re-optimize.
Excited to share that I've been accepted into Contra Labs as a Web Designer! 🎉
