When I started on @Contra just over a year ago, I told myself I would treat every small project like it mattered. This week that quiet promise turned into my first $10k earned on the platform.
Honestly, ten thousand is a number, but the real story is the handful of founders who trusted a stranger with their brand.
Grateful to everyone who hired me, referred me, and cheered from the sidelines. Onwards to the next milestone, and thank you for building this place with me 🙇🏻
Well deserved!
The founders who trusted you early are usually the real story behind these milestones, the number just makes it visible. Congrats on the $10k.
Respect, congrats!
Congratulations

Celebrating my 10th anniversary with @Envato ! 🎉
I decided it was time to be more than just a customer—I wanted to become a creator and contributor as well.
For this challenge, I created a promotional video for my own project, the one I previously shared with you @Contra .
I used Envato's AI tools, along with Envato Elements, templates, and creative assets to bring the idea to life.
The initial results were great, but I made my own creative decisions along the way—rejecting, refining, and replacing elements until I achieved the final version I envisioned.
Watch the full video to see the complete creative process.
I'd love to hear your thoughts! 🚀

9 years of design. First Contra Labs project. Here's what happened.
A week ago I got accepted into Contra Labs as a Brand Designer. This week I completed my first paid project through it.
What's changed since my last post:
Discovery score is now 122, top 5% of creatives overall
Completed my first paid, on-platform project through Contra
What I've learned this round:
Reviews and a complete profile get you seen, but an actual completed project on the platform is a different kind of proof. That was the piece genuinely missing before this.
What I do:
Still a one-person studio. Brand identity, packaging design with production-ready files and 3D mockups, and full website builds, handled end to end so nothing gets lost between design and execution.
Based in Karachi, working with clients globally. Genuinely happy to give back here too, if you're working on your Contra profile and want a second pair of eyes on it, case studies, services, positioning, whatever's not landing, send it over and I'll help however I can.
Congratulations on this achievement. So I would like to take up your offer on getting a second pair of eyes on my Contra profile. Can you check it and give me an honest feedback? Thanks
Every step forward is built on dedication, consistency, and the courage to keep growing.
Here's to creating, learning, and achieving bigger goals together.
