This all started with a simple question: What should I do next?

I blog on Medium, post on LinkedIn, and run an agency website—but I saw a growing trend towards personal branding. I wanted a space to bring all my projects, case studies, and ideas together. A hub where I could share openly, invite collaboration, and document my journey.

That’s when the idea for BuildWithMatija.com was born—a place to explore my projects, showcase my work, and, most importantly, take others on this journey with me. It’s a way to build my "muscle" for creating and sharing content, rather than keeping it all private.
