Hey, Zoya here!
Founder (+ face behind) Zest Creative
For the past seven years, I’ve had the privilege of working with some incredible entrepreneurs, helping them share their stories through thoughtful design, social media, and carefully crafted copy. What started as one of my favourite freelance gigs, has now turned into Zest— my full-time passion project, where I get to work with other small business owners to give them the tools (and time) they need to grow what they’re passionate about.

web designer, coffee-dependent, serial entrepreneur, book worm + content queen
I live for alliterations, clever puns and my french press. When I’m not behind the screen, you can likely find me in my trail runners—exploring local trails, nose deep into my current fantasy read for a little escapism or getting nostalgic about past trips, scrolling through my camera roll.
I help passionate small business owners turn online communities into lifelong customers.
I love working with small businesses and brands that are ready to grow and make a meaningful impact in their community. I believe the key to success is creating content that’s not just authentic but also tells a story—just like your brand. Together, we’ll uncover what makes your business unique, crafting meaningful content and beautiful design that truly connect with your audience—turning your online community into loyal, lifelong customers who are excited to be a part of your journey.
Whether you need a website that reflects your unique story, a social strategy that feels authentic, or a monthly newsletter that keeps your community engaged, you’ve come to the right gal. Let’s work together to take your brand (and you!) to the next level.
“As an agency owner with limitless offerings across uncountable industries, it was very important to me to be able to capture the essence, feel and vibe of not only myself, but the business as a whole.
Zoya not only makes you feel very comfortable in front of the lens (even if you don't know what to do with your hands...), but also truly takes your visions into account and blends them with her professionalism and charisma to create branded perfection. I would recommend Zest Creative to anyone looking for branding shoots where the goal is to feel like themselves - with some extra je ne sai quoi.”

Working with Zest Creative has been an absolute pleasure and a transformative experience for my small business. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Zoya deeply understood my vision, ethos, and goals.
She brings a level of passion and creativity that shines through in every part of our project, delivering designs that not only capture the essence and voice of my brand, but also deeply resonated with my audience! The personal touch & extra love Zoya brought to each interaction made this collaboration process smooth and enjoyable. I’ve seen an increase in engagement & sales, and I genuinely believe it's thanks to her innovative approach and unwavering dedication.
