Alesia & Vlad Klimau
We build and grow digital brands.
From the first piece of content to the systems that run a real business, we've built every part of it ourselves.
Alesia is an entrepreneur, educator, and community builder who helped turn photo magnets into a business before most people saw it coming. She started Heart Printed® in 2012, grew it past a million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, and built it into a six-figure business. She was early enough that a lot of the niche traces back to her, and plenty of the people teaching it and selling the machines today got their start because they watched her first.
Her background is in photography, and it shows in everything she puts out. She has a real instinct for what makes people stop scrolling, and she used it to turn a simple product into content people share and a community that sticks around. The audience came first and the business followed, which is the part most people get backwards. She's broken down how she does it on shows like Honest Ecommerce and The Big Lad Podcast.
She grew up in Belarus and did all of it from home in Ohio, raising two daughters, with no team and no playbook. Years of trial and error on suppliers, pricing, Shopify, marketing, and shipping, all on her own. She took everything she learned and built Magnets Club®, and thousands of women have used it to start businesses of their own. Her whole point is that none of this has to feel as overwhelming as it looks.
Vlad is an eCommerce operator and brand-builder who built his first online store in 2001, when plenty of people still thought shopping on the internet was a fad. By 2004 he was running the biggest online DVD store in Belarus, and he ran it for five years.
Then he joined a U.S. fitness equipment manufacturer in Columbus, Ohio when it was about twenty people, and eventually made the move there himself. He was still there when it hit 1,600 employees and nine figures a year, building his own eCommerce brands on the side the whole time. Between them he learned how a big company actually runs, and how to build a brand from nothing.
He used all of it to start his own Shopify Plus agency. As a Shopify Premier Partner, it launched more than 80 stores and drove over a billion dollars in sales for brands like LMNT, Leupold, and Troy Lee Designs.
All of it comes down to one skill: he can look at an eCommerce business and tell what's moving it and what's just noise. That read is most of the job. He brings it to his own brands and to the operators he helps, running lean with AI handling much of the day-to-day in the background. His whole point is that the hard part of scaling a brand is knowing what's actually worth doing, and that only comes with years of reps.
