A Bit About Me
Sports have always been a huge part of my life growing up. I first began playing soccer at the age of 4 and continued to play various competitive sports until I was 17. Following the end of my athletic career, I have transferred my love of sport and graphic design into digital art. Since starting at Ryerson University in 2020, I has significantly developed my skills and knowledge surrounding digital media production. At the beginning of 2022, I started a podcast with Spiritlive as both a co-host and a graphic designer for social media. I have created a diverse portfolio under Cagalj's Creative Studio and I am currently looking to employ my talent in the sport media marketing industry.
