Hello People! 👋
This is my first day on Contra.
I’m a multidisciplinary designer working across branding, web, product UI & social media. Just published my first project here and I’m slowly building out the rest of my profile.
For those who’ve been on Contra for a while, what actually helped you land your first client here?
welcome welcome! i wish i had an answer for your question, i'm still seeking that initial gig!
Okay… I’m officially on Contra 👋
Been building websites for businesses for a while, and now I’m taking the freelance route seriously.
I’ve got the portfolio.
I’ve got the skills.
Now I just need to figure out the “getting clients” part 😂
For those already freelancing here:
What worked for you when you were starting out?
Cold outreach?
Posting consistently?
Networking?
Or just… pure luck? 😂

I’d start with one strong portfolio project and post about a decision you made along the way. Then use the first hour to reply thoughtfully to people in the same niche.
A glimpse of a social media content project I created for a small F&B business. 🍜🎥
For this project, I focused on creating fun, relatable, and engaging short-form content that could showcase the business while making the brand feel more approachable to its audience.
I handled both the video production and editing, from taking the footage to turning it into entertaining Instagram Reels using CapCut.
The goal was to create content that doesn't feel overly promotional, but instead uses humor, relatable moments, and simple storytelling to catch attention and encourage people to engage with the brand. ✨
I enjoy helping small businesses turn their everyday products and moments into content that feels fun, authentic, and social-media friendly.

Well curated👏👏
