Content Writer

After teaching English for 3 years, Damjan found out that his true calling was content writing. He decided to pursue it and when the opportunity to work on a project as ambitious as Wholistique presented itself, Damjan embraced it. Having written articles on a wide array of topics, he’s found real pleasure and satisfaction in writing about productivity, health, and mindfulness, subjects very personal to him.
