About Zoë

  • “I'm hard to please, custom work was perfect."

    Private Client

  • Zoe is one of the most talented artists I've ever worked with. Her understanding of form, color and emotion and how that all fits into our clients is on another level. We often find so much inspiration in her choices of color that inform our design direction. When working with her on custom work, she is so ready and eager to get it right and make sure the client is completely in love with their piece. I have worked with Zoe on many projects, and have always had an incredible experience. Her art takes our designs to the next level, and is the perfect piece to add a beautiful level of tension to each of our projects.

  • Zoë Pawlak is an extraordinary artist, writer, and speaker—but what sets her apart is her remarkable gift as an intuitive leader. I’ve had the privilege of working with Zoë on several occasions, including events for YPO and a private advisory committee, and each experience has been nothing short of transformative. With depth, clarity, and compassion, she creates space for meaningful dialogue and personal insight. Her beautifully crafted Oracle Deck serves not only as a powerful tool for self-reflection but also as a catalyst for broader conversations about purpose, impact, and community. Zoë’s presence leaves a lasting impression—thoughtful, engaging, and profoundly moving.
