Hi, I’m Zoya!

I’ve been helping small business owners craft playful, storytelling platforms for the past seven years. As a serial small business owner myself, I know how powerful your online presence can be when it tells your story the right way — especially when it’s paired with the right website and marketing tools to share it. Whether you’re a cozy café hoping to turn every cup of coffee into a loyal customer or a local maker wanting your handcrafted goods to sparkle online, I can help you create an online platform that brings those cup-filling clients through the door.
