Cover image for I created what turned out

I created what turned out to be a very late entry into last month's "Runway — Pitch Contest for Shows That Don't Exist Yet". I wasn't selected, but that's not really what stayed with me. The process reminded me how important it is to keep making things, even when the odds aren't in your favour, the deadline is tight, or the outcome is uncertain. Sometimes the real win is showing up, following the idea, and putting something into the world that didn't exist before. This project became a small reminder that creative growth rarely happens by waiting for permission. It happens by chasing the vision anyway. Here's my submission: #TheFifthFrequency Curious to hear what resonates with you. 📻

Many of the

Hey Contra 👋🏽 Many of the challenges I participated in here pushed me to start experimenting with building tools and platforms. One of those experiments slowly turned into something bigger. I’ve been building a social platform called Spaxis for creatives, and it’s now about 90% ready. I realized something… as creators, our work often gets mixed in with everything else on traditional platforms,and as tools improve and creators level up, the quality of what we create is only getting better, but the platforms we use haven’t really evolved to support that. Everything still gets mixed, lost, or disconnected. Spaxis is built for where creators are heading, a space where their work can live and connect, putting creators and their work at the center, so what we create can actually stay connected and grow. Building it has been challenging, but now comes the interesting part, seeing how people interact with it. The platform is currently optimized for web not mobile, and since Contra is full of curious creators who like trying new things, I figured this would be the best place to share it. Huge thanks to Contra and YouWare for creating environments that push creators to explore, experiment, and build. This wouldn’t exist without that. If you enjoy testing new things before they’re polished: Explore Spaxis here: https://www.spaxis.co/ It’s early, so your feedback really matters here😊

Cover image for My Renoise challenge entry is

My Renoise challenge entry is a short cinematic piece about burnout and self-overload. It looks like a rescue thriller at first, but the meaning is simple, sometimes the thing we’re trying to save is ourselves. I made this because burnout can feel like a silent emergency and with a realization that the real struggle was internal.

Cover image for Why I built Pixelus
I’ve been

Why I built Pixelus I’ve been thinking a lot about the friction between "showing" work and "running" a business. For a long time, my portfolio was just a static gallery. But as I started taking on more client work and selling digital products, I realized I was spending more time managing fragmented tools than actually creating. I wanted a single ecosystem. I built Pixelus to bridge that gap. It’s a Framer template, but I approached it as business infrastructure, a way to remove maintenance overhead so your site acts as an engine, not a chore. How do you handle the balance between maintaining your portfolio and managing your business operations? X/Twitter Post (https://x.com/snoweirdo/status/2067888482232549574?s=20)

Should you always double down on your #1 market? 🌍 While building this Executive Revenue dashboard, the data told a different story.
