Freelancing is weird.
One week you’re fully booked.
Next week you’re refreshing your inbox for no reason.
Still learning how to stay consistent — especially in how I present my work on Contra.
If you freelance, you get it.
100%, it's a journey full of unpredictability, but also more freedom 🙌

The Freelancer balancing a 9-5 Starter Pack 💼
Since 2020 doing both, full time job and freelancing, and these are my NON NEGOTIABLE:
• A contract that protects my work and mental health. 📝
• Motivational Spotify playlists that help me get through the working hours. 🎧
• A pricing sheet that answers before I overthink. 🤑
• Brandbook and presentation templates to deliver fast without reinventing the wheel. ⚡
• ChatGPT trained on my pricing sheet and my tone to write emails while I do my laundry. 🧠
Freelancing for me is boundaries, saving money for personal goals, and switching Slack accounts like it’s a personality disorder. 🤭

Hello everyone!
Still pretty new to Contra and I am slowly discovering the platform. I can't say I understand it all, but slowly getting there.
I've already filled my profile with past work, created a service, posted a few of my work here and even answered a job post!
If anyone has any advice about what I could improve, I'm all hears!
In the meantime, may your life be filled with love 😍
Welcome to Contra, Sandrine 😊
Hey, I'm Harry — brand designer, web designer & developer (or "design engineer" if that's your vibe).
My formal training is in industrial design, and I've been freelancing for over 10 years across branding, UI, and Webflow development, but I'm new to Contra, and I want to change that.
So here's the deal: my first project here is 50% off. No catch.
I'm looking to work with one of two types of people:
An early-stage startup that needs a brand identity and website to match, the kind that actually looks funded, even if you're not yet.
A founder with an app idea who wants to move fast. I'll vibe-code it with you, design and build, end to end, at a pace that keeps up with how you think.
If either of those sounds like you, let's talk. First come, first served.
Welcome to Contra, Harry 🎉
