I joined Contra around six months ago with a Discovery Score around 30.
Today I’m at 163 and in the Top 1% of creatives.
Most of that growth happened while I was consistently building, publishing and improving without much client validation.
Since then, the portfolio has grown, the work has become much stronger, I’ve earned expert recognition across Rive, Jitter and Ideogram, and client conversations are finally starting to turn into real work.
Still a long way to go, but I’m very glad I kept going.
Thanks to everyone who followed the work along the way.
Proud of you, brother! I’ve seen your journey since day one, and it’s amazing to see how far you’ve come. You truly deserve this milestone. Here’s to even bigger things ahead!
Optimizing your profile and work takes the biggest impact. Showing up every day and getting expert badges was the main boost factor on my discovery score. Thank you and wish you the best!
