This year, I reached a milestone I’m really proud of:
I was officially ranked among the top 1% of creatives globally on Contra.
It’s a platform filled with thousands of talented professionals across design, dev, strategy, and more. Being recognized at this level is an incredible validation of the work I’ve been building with service-based businesses.
Here’s a breakdown of how it happened—and what this kind of recognition can mean if you’re hiring or building your own creative presence on Contra.
What does it mean to be in the top 1% on Contra?
Contra tracks a combination of data to determine your performance as a creative:
Verified projects
These are client collaborations that have been reviewed and approved by Contra for their quality, clarity, and results.
Expert badges
These are awarded to professionals with proven specialization. I currently hold:
Framer Expert Badge
Frameship Expert Badge
Client reviews
I’ve received 7 thoughtful, detailed reviews from clients—each one adding to the profile’s visibility and trust score.
Together, these factors boosted my overall ranking into the global top percentile.
Why does this matter?
It’s not just about bragging rights. It’s a signal to potential clients that I’m consistent, strategic, and experienced.
Here’s how being in the top 1% benefits clients:
Proven results
You’re not gambling with an unknown freelancer. You’re hiring someone whose work is vetted and trusted.
Higher visibility = better collaborations
The more visibility I have on Contra, the more selective I can be. That leads to better fits and higher-quality work.
A brand-first approach
This recognition is the result of treating my freelance work like a business, not a side hustle. Strategy, presentation, and results all matter.
What’s next
This milestone motivates me to keep raising the bar—not just in design quality, but in process, communication, and collaboration.
