Friends, I haven’t announced this properly yet, but I can’t keep quiet anymore
𝐌𝐲 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐛𝐛𝐥𝐞’𝐬 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫😭❤️
Accepting congratulations 💃
And sharing a bit of our experience in this post.

✔️ We posted 2–4 works per week. So behind this result are 5 years of consistency.
✔️ Thanks to regular posting, we grew to around 100,000 followers across all our accounts.
🤣 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐩 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞:
So far, Dribbble hasn’t brought us a single client.
We do get inquiries from there, but so far, none of them have been from clients with the budgets we usually work with.
Let’s see what happens next.
Also, I’ll be happy to answer your questions about growing on Dribbble, if you have any.
By the way, this case shows me that the phrase “where there is focus, there is result” is not entirely true. Because Dribbble wasn’t our daily focus throughout these 5 years.
I’ll unpack this in the next post.
Congratulations 👍
I used Claude for two very different things this weekend:
✦ building an interactive effect for my website
✦ planning the construction of a piece of furniture I want to build on my balcony
And this is exactly why AI feels so exciting to me!
Digital world
Physical world
Same creative brain
Same need to turn an idea into something that works
This is why I find AI genuinely useful. Not as a magic button, but as a translation layer between imagination and execution
Context is everything. You can have the best tech in the world, but without that deep community knowledge, the automation and design won't hit the mark. It’s all about turning those years of context into a seamless journey for the creator. Great take!
A tiny compliment to the Contra team! 🫶
I needed the Contra logo for my website, and wow, you made it so elegant! Right click, and everything we need to keep things consistent is right there.
And even better, the full brand guidelines are available in Figma 🤩
Love lives in the little details
Thank you, and have a joyful day ✨
Looks amazing
