Being accepted into Contra Labs is a huge milestone. I’m looking forward to contributing to the future of the platform.
Grateful to be a part of this journey! 🚀

My career as a video editor has never been a straight line.
No constant winning year after year. Even being ranked among the top 10 performance marketers and editors in Brazil, I still deal with unpredictable high and low cycles in the market. 🇧🇷
I started out in this industry with cracked software on a lagging PC that crashed on almost every heavy export. I’ve worked long hours for pocket change, barely covering rent...
Now, stepping into the international market has brought a completely new learning curve. But pushing through the uncertainty pays off: in just a few days, I managed to secure 3 incredible global clients.
To anyone expecting a smooth path in year one, think twice. Modern tech lets us scale faster, but without solid fundamentals in business and storytelling, you’re just guessing and your clients that pay the price.
Take your time. A high follower count doesn't pay the bills unless you know how to build real leverage and deliver hard results.
If I could give one piece of advice, it’s this: stay patient, overdeliver, and never rely on AI to do the core thinking for you.
I signed my first contract through Contra and was so happy 🥹

congrats!
I'm under the impression Contra is mostly a platform for video editors?
There’s a strong video crowd, but design and development are active too.
