About Contra Labs

Contra Labs sits at the intersection of human creativity and AI. We partner with leading AI labs and product companies to improve their tools across design, video, development, and beyond. Our research is grounded in how top creatives actually work, studying the patterns behind what gets created, what gets chosen, and what resonates. We believe human input will always be at the center of net new creation, and our mission is to help shape technology so human creativity can be amplified to create what today is unimaginable.

By joining the Contra Labs network you gain access to paid projects with some of the most innovative companies building the next generation of creative and AI-powered tools.

 

How It Works

This is an application to join the network and be eligible for roles as they arise. Projects are staffed on an as needed basis, typically 5 to 10 hours at a time, though some may extend into longer engagements. In unique cases, we may have full-time roles available as well. When a project matches your skill set, we'll reach out with details and timeline.

 

To Join the Network

Portfolio review - We'll assess your Contra profile and portfolio for strength in brand design, including visual identity systems, logo design, and brand guidelines.

Video interview - You'll record a brief video sharing more about your experience and your approach to brand design.

Skills assessment - If accepted, you'll complete a short assessment aligned to the types of tasks you'd work on (e.g., evaluating AI-generated brand assets, providing structured feedback on visual identity outputs).

What You May Work On

Evaluate AI generated brand design outputs including logos, color systems, typography pairings, and brand identity assets

Provide clear, structured feedback on whether outputs meet professional brand design tandards across consistency, versatility, and visual impact

Help define creative benchmarks and taste standards for what great brand design looks like in the next generation of AI-powered tools

Contribute to research on how convergence (shared best practices) and divergence (individual taste and creative direction) shape brand design quality

 

What We're Looking For

Strong portfolio showcasing high quality brand design work, including visual identity systems, logo design, and brand guidelines, shared via your Contra profile

Deep understanding of what makes a brand identity cohesive, memorable, and adaptable across touchpoints

Ability to articulate creative and strategic feedback on brand design clearly and constructively

Comfort working in fast paced, experimental environments (experience with AI or design tools is a plus)
