First project on Contra, locked in.

I joined on October 3rd, and on October 26th I closed my first client here.

After more than 10 years in design, one brochure shouldn't feel like a big deal. It does. For the first few weeks I sent proposal after proposal and heard nothing back. So I rebuilt my profile project by project, started sharing my work here every week and set up alerts to catch new jobs within hours instead of days.

I decided it would happen here and kept showing up until it did. No strategy beats the will to make it happen.

On to the next ones.
