About Me
Hi, I'm Maks — founder of Zolna Agency.
I'm 18, based between the UK and Poland, and I've spent the last few years building things — first physical models in architecture studios, then a Roblox asset business, and now websites for founders who care about craft.
I treat every project like it matters, because to the person paying for it, it always does. This page is the short version of how I got here.
The Story
From studio to startup.
2024 – 2026
Architecture Student
I spent two years at college studying Architecture. I loved the design thinking, the geometry, the obsession with detail — and I came out with three A*s. But somewhere along the way I realised the path wasn't for me. The buildings I wanted to design were starting to live on screens, not on sites.

First Real Business — Roblox Assets
At the start of my second year of college, I took the risk. I started my first official business selling Roblox assets — game models, kits, environments. It grew fast. After hitting a solid monthly revenue, I sold the company in February 2026 and walked away with something more valuable than the exit: I knew I could build.
February – June 2026
Learning the Web
From February to June I went heads-down learning website development. Design systems, animation, performance, the whole stack. Every day was a build day. The architecture instinct never left — proportion, hierarchy, structure — it just found a new medium. Alongside it, I worked part-time at a sports bar — pouring pints, running shifts, and saving every spare hour for code.

Zolna Agency
I opened Zolna Agency — my first and current website agency. We build sites that look like they belong in 2026, not 2016. Same obsession with craft I had in studio, now shipping in production for founders who care about the details.
