Hello and welcome! My name is Asya Palatova, I am a creative soul, passionate about design, ceramics, collaborating and empowering others to reach their goals.
What I offer:
-
I am embracing an artist‘s practice, and am no longer selling wholesale or accepting custom orders at this time.
I am currently exploring layering glazes on my pieces. As the glazes flow over the object, otherworldly landscapes are revealed, evoking mysteriously beautiful strata of earth, water, air, fire, spirit, and gaseous elements.
Please visit my shop for in-stock items available to purchase.

Creating a website can feel overwhelming. With my combined expertise in coaching, design, and web development, I’ll guide you smoothly through each step of the process, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.
We begin by drafting the outline, content, and structure of your website during the Content Development Phase. Once that’s in place, I’ll introduce you to the Squarespace design dashboard and present a design concept based on our discussions.
Through weekly meetings, we will refine the design until it’s ready for launch. After the Design Phase, I’ll optimize your website for mobile, tablet, and SEO.
In the final phase, I’ll teach you how to update your website and maintain its SEO moving forward.
Get in touch to book a complimentary 30-minute exploratory session.

What does graphic design, ceramics, and coaching have in common? They come from the same joyful client-focused creative source.
As a graphic designer over the past 30+ years, I have had the very good fortune to collaborate with artists and small businesses on a variety of projects. I am experienced in print and digital design, as well as porcelain ceramic object-making.
I fell in love with clay while studying graphic design as an undergrad. What began as a side project at University of Cincinnati, fifteen years later I launched gleena ceramics, hand-crafted porcelain dishes for your everyday rituals. I craft functional, intuitive, and beautiful things that compel people to use and enjoy them in their daily lives. This brings me immense joy.
My ceramics practice has taught me to be present, to tap into the flow, and to sink into and appreciate the process. I bring this focus and my intuition to accurately gauge the needs of others, fostering a safe space for open and honest communication.
Today, design and ceramics inspire and inform one another as I coach others to achieve their endeavors. I have partnered with creative directors, photographers, painters, gallery and shop owners, interior designers, writers, wellness providers, and spiritual leaders.
