Maison's Story

Portrait of Dasha Zolota, founder of Maison Zolts, beside a leafy plant

Maison is a nomadic creative studio based out of the GTA, serving Toronto, the surrounding suburbs, and both York and Durham regions. 

 

Our proprietary approach to building brands comes from a 15-year-long career in journalism, print media, and small business marketing.

 

Maison Founder and Principal Dasha Zolota forms insightful brand strategies, executes intricate project plans and creates impactful work with longevity.

 

Our name, Maison, means home, because for Dasha, home is where the heart is – and there’s no place she would rather be.

 

Maison’s branding is cerebral and surreal, a visual vacation – an exhale. We want you to feel the same way about your brand; unequivocally at home. 

 

Since starting our merry little branding studio in 2021, we’ve helped 50 and counting business owners and service providers transform their brands, designs, and marketing campaigns. 

 

At Maison, we know it takes a village.

 

That’s why Dasha has spent years building a small, highly exclusive referral network of vetted professionals to build and maintain your investment. 

We get by with a little help
from our friends.

we rarely send carrier pigeons

But when we do: they fly slowly, only bearing jewels and riches.
