Samantha Nayyar
Samantha started Zen Collection with her mom, Krista, in 2019. If you've shopped at zencollection.ca, Samantha is the person behind it: the website, the suppliers, the new arrivals and the hundred quiet jobs in between.
The business behind the shop
While her mom, Krista, looks after our Barrie store, Samantha runs everything you don't see.
She builds and runs our online store, works with our suppliers, answers customer questions and keeps the business side organized, so orders go out on time and the shelves at 12 Ross Street stay full.
She also makes many of the crystal bracelets and malas you'll find in the shop and online. If you're choosing a stone, our guide to crystal bracelet meanings is a good place to start.
It found me. I wasn't looking for it, but I listened to my intuition and went with it, and I've been guided down this path ever since.
