Huge news
A website I designed (and started here in Contra) just got nominated on Awwwards for Website of the Month.
This project means a lot to me, countless hours, details, and ideas that finally came together.
It’s an honor just to be up there among so many incredible sites.
If you’ve got a minute, I’d love your support ❤️
