Burrowed In with Alissa: Shopify, Soap & Soulful Vibes

Let’s talk about something close to my heart (and my inbox... and text messages... and phone calls): supporting the absolute force of nature that is Alissa Assu — and her trio of amazing, Indigenous-owned businesses.

Alissa is the brains and brilliance behind RavenSong Soap & Candle, Bear Essential Oils, and West Coast Wildflowers — and I get to be her behind-the-scenes sidekick, making sure things run smoothly so she can focus on being her incredible, creative, community-loving self.

Triple the Stores, Triple the Fun

Yep, you heard that right. Three. Shopify. Stores.
And I manage all of them! (With a big cup of coffee and a whole lotta love.)

🧼 RavenSong is all about handcrafted soaps and skincare that smell divine and tell a story.
🌿 Bear Essential Oils is where you go when your body and spirit need a little TLC.
🌸 West Coast Wildflowers is your one-stop shop for cozy west coast vibes, gifts, and goods you’ll want to keep for yourself (no judgment).

From adding new products and updating collections to solving the occasional “why is this button not working” mystery — I keep the digital shelves stocked and the vibes flowing.

More Than Just the Tech Stuff

Sure, I love organizing, optimizing, and making those online shops sparkle — but what really lights me up is connection.

I help Alissa stay plugged into the community: collaborating with local makers, organizing pop-ups, supporting other Indigenous entrepreneurs, and helping folks discover these beautiful brands and the meaning behind them.

I’ve always believed business can be personal, powerful, and full of heart — and working with Alissa proves that every single day.

Why I Love This Work

Working with Alissa feels like showing up for something bigger than just “a job.”

It’s about culture, creativity, and lifting each other up. It’s about celebrating Indigenous brilliance and building a future where women-led businesses thrive — online and in the real world.

Plus, let’s be honest: it’s just really fun.
We laugh a lot, we dream big, and we get to share meaningful, beautiful things with people who care.
