Taz develops websites that translate a brand’s story, expertise, and services into a clear experience for its audience. Her work brings together messaging, content organization, and design to help visitors understand the business, explore its offerings, and take the next step.
Arifa’s Taste
Taz built the website for Arifa’s Taste, a Bengali catering business in the DMV, to showcase its food, establish credibility, and help prospective customers explore its offerings.
She handled the full website build, including copywriting, page layouts and navigation, food photography, menu presentation, calls to action, and the inclusion of customer testimonials. The site brings the business’s story and services together in one place, giving visitors a clear introduction to Arifa’s cooking and how to inquire.
Taz continues to maintain and update the website as the business evolves.
Naley by Nature
Naley by Nature is an independent journalist and storyteller whose work amplifies Indigenous and marginalized voices. With an established social media audience and work distributed across multiple platforms, she needed a central destination that connected her content, values, and professional offerings.
Taz brought that body of work together into a website with clear navigation, an introduction to Naley’s mission, and pathways to explore her services. She organized scattered media into an accessible presentation that helps visitors understand Naley’s expertise and discover ways to work with her.
Shared Vision Studios, an independent marketing agency initially serving the financial services industry, brought Taz in to help establish a website that could support its expansion into additional industries.
Taz built the initial page framework, developed foundational website copy, and curated photography aligned with the agency’s brand. She also wrote long-form articles to establish its blog and support its SEO content efforts.
Her contribution gave the agency a foundation for presenting its services and developing its online presence. The current website has since evolved beyond her initial work.

Over the course of regular meetings with the host of TheAwayGames_Podcast, Ron Corley, II, Taz discovered points Ron would make about how he conducted his life that she felt would resonate with the audience that he was trying to build. One such conversation came from when he shared how he had taught his daughters about race from a young age, Taz saw this as an opportunity to turn his experience into content aligned with the podcast’s focus on identity and navigating societal systems.
She requested Ron to record the story to offer a personal, concrete entry point into a topic audiences could bring their own perspectives to. Ron supplied a 20-minute recording. Taz edited this down into a short-form video that would be suitable across social media platforms. She shaped the story for pacing and clarity while preserving Ron’s perspective. Taz completed editing, added subtitles, wrote the caption, and published the video across Instagram and TikTok to compare audience response.
This not only resulted in a lively discussion within the TikTok comments about what is appropriate to teach young children about race, but also acted as a experiment on performance across platforms that Ron is trying to build an audience on. TikTok generated differing perspectives in the comments and earned 12 saves. Its stronger initial response compared with Instagram helped inform the decision to prioritize further TikTok testing within the client’s available budget.
