Case Study: Halaska Studio scales its design team with Contra

Scaling a top-performing web3 design studio with independent experts

Halaska Studio, a web3 design studio, was growing rapidly but its founder, Chris Halaska, was hesitant to bring on full-time employees. The studio needed a flexible way to scale its team and handle a growing client base, but managing freelance talent came with significant administrative challenges, including payment processing and communication spam. They turned to the vendor Contra for a solution.

Contra provided a centralized platform that streamlined Halaska Studio's project management and payments. This drastically reduced the time spent on administrative tasks, with invoice payments taking less than a minute per week. Using Contra, the studio successfully hired over 15 independent experts, allowing them to take on more varied projects and scale their team efficiently without making full-time hires.
