Hey @Contra HQ , my Discovery Score just hit 101, and I want to share something with anyone starting from scratch. đ
I didn't get here overnight. I started with zero, not knowing when things would finally work out.
But I kept showing up. Kept putting myself out there. Kept believing that something would eventually click.
I stopped waiting for the perfect moment. Stopped doubting every step. And started trusting the process.
Show up.
Share your work.
Keep building.
Keep going.
I'm still far from where I want to be. But seeing my progress today reminds me why I never gave up.
You don't need to know when it'll happen. You just need to keep going until it does.
Sometimes, everything starts changing right after you decide not to quit. â¤ď¸
Congrats buddy
congrats. keep going Aimen
Thanks

Final direction picked! I love when brands use custom illustration as the main way to communicate with their audience.
Direction discovery should not take more than one week and it should be full of personality! Ready to upgrade your brand?
Amazing work!
I get asked a lot how I get beauty and skincare clients, so here is what has helped me most:
đ A portfolio that shows the work you want to get hired for. No real clients yet? Make passion projects for dream brands.
đŻ Apply only when your portfolio matches the job. Clients are very visual, and a product design portfolio wonât win a packaging project.
đ Research a lot. Follow the brands, learn how they talk and who they speak to.
đŹ Apply to jobs that resonate with your skills and share related projects to potential clients.
𧴠Buy the products and analyze the packaging. Typography, finish, weight, how the label sits. Youâll notice things you can talk about in your pitch â¨
What would you add?
a portfolio that shows the work you want to get hired for is the best advice here. passion projects for dream brands really work
