can i be honest? i’m frustrated with myself 😭 i do such a terrible job of sharing WHILE i’m working
it truly feels so overwhelming to do with my neurospicy brain 💆🏾♀️ but i really, really want to show my evolution from re-tired soloprenuer turned employee turned now entrepreneur
this journey is SO complex, fun yet terrifying. people often say such encouraging words to be about how i “inspire” them & i’m just like ???? man listen 🤣😂 how?
anyways, ive wanted to share some professional updates over the past few months but have battled on should it be a written post? no, a video? wait maybe a carousel! 🤔
so right now i am breaking the ice for MYSELF by just writing this post & pressing send. i will follow up this week to re-start being more visible as i build. so talk soon linkedin pals 💕🤞🏾
It’s amazing how you stop the procrastination and just do it.
Rooting for you🫶 Looking forward to your content here
I've been there. I used to wonder if the people always posting were even taking on projects 😅. Congrats on sending it anyway, and don't stop. The messy in-between is actually the most interesting part to follow.
isn't it? & literally same Chantal 😭 i truly envy people who start, are in or complete a project & IMMEDIATELY share everything because hoowww? hahaha thanks for the encouragement, i love you work btw
Love~ 😘
You don't have to be hard on yourself. Just take it a step at a time.
Make sense

Woaah! Finally I've found the time to post this project and share it everywhere, we have been building out this 𝟲𝟬𝟬+ 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 for the past few months and its a BANGER! 🛩️
It's been so good to be working with this company and recently we've established a longer, retainer form collaboration working and continuing building the digital presence of BLAK! 🌍
Amazing where @Contra HQ took me in my career, I never expected to be partying with this client on Ibiza next weekend! 🕺🏼
Feel free to check out the project, leave some kudos and excited to be showing y'all what else I'm working on! ⚡️
600+ pages in Framer is no small thing to maintain consistently. Curious how you handled template logic and CMS structure at that scale.
40 days ago, I decided to start growing on Contra from zero and document the whole journey publicly 🫶❤️💃. And now we’re here:
𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟒𝟎 🎉 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬
So much has already happened. In these 40 days, I’ve already managed to:
✅ reach 156 / 1,000 followers
✅ get my first contract
✅ get featured on the Contra homepage
✅ get into Community Favorites
✅ participate in 2 Contra challenges #CapCutDesignStudio Challenge & #stitchchallenge
✅ make it into the Top 10% of creatives on Contra
Not bad for the first 40 days, right? 👀
I’m still far from the final goal, but this already feels like proof that showing up consistently works.
𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀: 156 / 1,000
𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁: 844 followers
Follow along if you’re curious to see whether it’s possible to grow on Contra from zero
