Abby Buzon
Abby Buzon helps small business owners improve their online presence and local visibility with marketing and web design services aimed at drawing new business and increasing customer retention.
She started her own company in 2017, The Helpful Marketer, after seven years in marketing technology and website administration.
Based in Medina County, Ohio, Abby is a Northeast Ohio native and a Baldwin-Wallace alum.
“I never would have guessed that I’d end up being a web designer or an entrepreneur. I was raised by an artist and an electrician. I am a super odd balance of left and right brain, and I pay great (sometimes crippling) attention to detail. The mix has led me to web design, and it’s totally my video game – I gladly stay up until 2 am playing… I mean working.”

Swaahili M
A 21-year-old WordPress Enthusiast who believes that asking WHY enough number of times can decipher almost anything. Perpetually lost – either in a book or in yet another theory that attempts to unravel and explain how humans think.
