A small milestone I'm excited to share. 🚀
Just crossed $10K+ earned on Contra.
Grateful to every founder, startup, and team that trusted me to design their websites, SaaS products, and digital experiences. Each project has been an opportunity to learn, grow, and help businesses turn ideas into products people love to use.
What started as a passion for design has grown into collaborations with amazing clients across different industries and countries.
The journey is still just getting started, and I'm excited for the bigger projects, stronger partnerships, and new challenges ahead.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey so far. 🙌
On to the next milestone. 🔥
Congratulations 🎉

$50k+ in revenue on Contra. Big milestone.
Here's my full revenue breakdown.
I started freelancing in April 2025 after leaving my job at a design studio. Since then, my income has come from a few different places (not all of it is visible on contra).
Most of it came from ongoing freelance work with startups. As I started working directly with clients on framer websites, I also began offering a monthly retainer for updates, maintenance, and improvements after launch. More recently, I joined Contra Labs, which has been a nice extra source of projects.
Here's the breakdown:
• Freelance work: 70% (worked with framer, contra, magicpath etc.)
• Direct clients: 24%
• Retainers: 4.3%
• Contra Labs: 1.7%
The number is nice, but knowing where it comes from is what actually helps you understand how to build something sustainable.
Hey Contra 👋 first post here, so let me introduce myself with a number that still surprises me.
It took me 8 years on Upwork to cross $50k.
But here's the fun part: the first $10k took 7 years. The next $40k took 12 months.
Something clicked in that last stretch better positioning, better clients, actually owning my niche instead of chasing every job. The slow years weren't wasted; they were the reps that made the fast year possible.
So now I'm here, day five on Contra, genuinely curious: how long does $10k take here? $40k? Faster? Slower? Let's find out together.
If you're a founder building in Web3/DeFi, SaaS, or AI products full-stack dev, design, and brand strategy is what I do. But mostly I just wanted to say hi and start this chapter with the right people. Excited to be here. 🚀
POV: You stop waiting for opportunities and start creating them.
Finally upgraded to Contra Pro.
Discovery Score: 102
First project completed.
Second Webflow project already in progress.
Small wins today. Bigger milestones tomorrow.
This is just the beginning. See you on the leaderboard.
If you're looking for someone who can build high-converting websites in Webflow, Framer, Wix Studio, or WordPress, my DMs are open. 🤝
