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

Thank you for being here 🫶 We just hit 556 followers, OMG, and I truly appreciate every one of you following this journey
Now the update 👇
📊 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟳𝟵 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁
From the last report, my Discovery score has increased significantly, now I’m at 160 pts and Top 1% of creatives 🏆
And I finally hit:
💰 $𝟭𝟬𝗞+ 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺
Which honestly feels like one of the key turning points for my visibility here.
Looking at the patterns, I’m starting to strongly believe that:
👉 consistently joining challenges
👉 and staying active in the community
has a massive impact on distribution and profile boost.
🚀 What changed since my last update:
💎 Discovery score: continued growing → now 160 pts
💎 Profile quality: now 100%
💎 Profile completion: 100%

🏝️ Life update (slightly chaotic edition):
I recently left Czech Republic for a few months and moved to Phuket, Tailand
Between:
— relocating
— renting out my apartment
— flights
— personal errands
— and still adjusting to jetlag
I was a bit less consistent with posting updates.
But I’m slowly getting back into rhythm and I promise I’ll continue sharing the journey more actively again very soon.
💬 This is your reminder that growth is not always linear — sometimes life just happens in between.
And yet… things still move forward
Thanks for being here 🤍
More updates coming soon
