We just hit 10k on Contra. To be completely honest, it feels surreal.
A few months ago, the reality was very different. Our client pipeline dried up entirely. The pressure was so real that I actually applied for a cabin crew position at Emirates Airlines, got accepted, and was entirely prepared to walk away from my dream of running HS Studio.
But we held on. Today, we are finally sustaining ourselves through our own design practice. This newfound stability gives us the headspace to finally redesign our visual identity and website to reflect our actual creative standards.
For the first time in a long time, we can look ahead, see a solid future for the studio, and just breathe.
Wishing everyone a wonderful day!
