I’ll tell you something many don’t want you to realize: the harder it is, the better the outcome.
Landing your first clients won’t be easy without experience, but the “bring value” mindset is a skill itself. The bigger your commitment, the higher the payoff.
Copy today isn’t a cup of tea, it’s for the dreamers, for those who can see a specific path when others can’t.
AI isn’t here to ruin your job, it’s here to streamline it. A weapon, not a threat.
Learning to use it will add another powerful skill in your arsenal.
My client-hunting game? I slide into hotel chains with a killer intro, share a little about me, and drop some quick copy tips that actually add value. No fluff, just results.

8-yr-old me discovered castles and palaces through TV docs. Now, adult me is building new ways to explore them.
I built The Castle Hunting Atlas, a 3D globe that transforms historical exploration into an interactive, spatial experience.
Each node represents a real location, allowing you to orbit, discover, and step into architecture, memory, and heritage across the world.
Built 100% in Omma.

That's a real vibe, man. Great idea. It looks amazing!
You know that moment when a client asks for a 3-email webinar sequence and you need it by tomorrow?
Stripo has an AI Hub built right into the editor. You describe what you need in a prompt, set your brand details (logo, tone of voice, audience), and it generates a full email sequence. Not just copy. Structure, layout, content blocks, styles.
Here's what makes it useful for freelancers specifically:
You control every step. The AI proposes, you decide. Edit the sequence structure, swap sections, regenerate parts you don't like. Pick from predefined color themes to match the client's brand in one click. Nothing ships without your say.
It also remembers your brand settings per project. So if you're working across multiple clients, each project keeps its own logo, tone, and audience. No mixing things up.
Right now it handles webinar series, digests, and promo campaigns. You go from a prompt to a ready-to-use email in minutes instead of hours.
Here's a quick walkthrough of the full process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsY5ZlHA82M
Have you tried using AI for email production yet, or are you still building everything from scratch?
Brand Identity Design — Health, Wellness & Female Empowerment
A space built by women, for women. My job was to give it an identity worthy of its purpose.
This project called for a chromatic and typographic system carefully crafted to communicate transformation, sophistication, and warmth — without compromising visual cohesion across touchpoints.
What was developed:
— Semantic color palette with 8 calibrated tones: cream, nude, burnt rose, mauve, warm brown, and a 4-stop gold scale — each color assigned a functional role within the visual hierarchy
— Typographic system built on italic serif display, spaced small caps for subheadings, and light sans-serif for body copy — creating editorial rhythm and femininity without sacrificing legibility
— Logo system with primary, reversed, and colored-background variations, including clear space rules and misuse guidelines
