Getting laid off was tough, and starting something new is never easy. But here we are—my partner and I are channeling that energy into creating something of our own: Caretta. Excited to share the highs, lows, and everything in between on this journey!

Just wrapped up my first $500 project on Upwork!
Finding clients wasn’t easy, but every challenge taught me how to pitch better & understand what clients value most.
Now open for freelance & remote Product Design work

1️⃣ After getting laid off, I didn’t realize how much pressure I had been under. I thought I was motivated, but in reality, I was just running on stress. Work, deadlines, and financial worries pushed me forward. I never stopped to check in with myself. #layoff #life #motivation

This is my second project with #supabase! Before @caretta.money, my friend and I built a pet project with it. I was so satisfied that I chose it for a real-world project—despite my experience and love for Rails. No regrets! Happy to help if you have questions.

We opened an Etsy store to support @caretta.money , but I had no idea it was full of imposters and scammers. Got fooled three times already, almost got scammed 🫠 Are there any safer platforms for selling digital products?

There’s so much junk on TikTok, yet every week content gets removed or flagged! 😓 We tried sharing some of our content about 'February manifestions about finance,' and it got warned... and every week we have to appeal. It’s wild how certain things get flagged. #marketing #TikTok #buildinpublic

Personal finance and budgeting always bored me. Everything seemed so serious and complicated. That’s why I never wanted to design a ‘boring’ product. I’m still unsure if it’s the right decision, but sometimes, changing the perspective from serious to colorful is what life needs. 💡💰 #buildinpublic

Never realized how important budgeting was until I started tracking my expenses. I used to spend so much money without thinking. Now, even with no income, I know exactly what my core expenses are. Budgeting isn’t just saving it’s clarity and control over your life. #buildinpublic
