Our story
Muzzy was born from a simple yet powerful dream to help every child see themselves reflected in the stories they read and the heroes they love.
Our journey began when Doaa, a young Hijabi nurse, questioned why so many children’s products failed to represent the beauty and diversity of the world she saw around her. Together with her husband, Karter Zaher, an artist and visionary, they set out to change that narrative.
From their small studio in Orange County, California, they began creating culture-driven characters and stories inspired by faith, tradition and values weaving together universal lessons of empathy. Each Muzzy creation is a celebration of heritage and identity, teaching children that different is beautiful, and that kindness is a bridge between humanity.
At Muzzy, we believe representation is not just about inclusion it’s about belonging. It’s about a child seeing a doll that looks like them, a story that speaks to their cultural values, and a world where everyone’s story matters.
Every product we design carries a deeper purpose. A portion of our proceeds supports children in need, ensuring that empathy goes beyond words and becomes actionable.
When we come together to nurture diversity in our homes, it's our first step to world peace.
And that’s what Muzzy stands for feeling seen, celebrated, and loved.
Muzzy — empathy is our superpower.

Muzzy & Hijabi Queens
On August 2022, the Hijabi Queens community set forth on an Artistic journey to increase Muslim women representation. The idea was simple: "Let's paint a Hijabi Queen Mural in every major city in the United States, as a way of honoring our vibrant sisters"
Come join our magical journey - and together, we can paint the world with vibrant colors , hues of imagination and boundless strokes of creativity.
Hijabi Queens Murals
The Hijabi Queens Murals, stand as a beacon of hope to our young daughters who are growing up in search for good role models. With these bright and colorful Hijabi murals adorning the cities of LA , New York, and soon Atlanta, we aim to help them feel seen and appreciated.
