wooyjig

a tiny word with a big story

Welcome to
Wooyjig.

A little corner of the internet for Zoey—who was making movies, playing piano, inventing words, and composing songs before most people figure out how to tie their shoes.

01 / THE ORIGIN STORY

It started with an
iPad, a movie,
and one perfect word.

When Zoey was two years old, she made a movie in iMovie on an iPad. Somewhere in that tiny burst of creativity, she came up with a word: Wooyjig.

Nobody had to tell her what it meant. It was simply hers—and somehow it sounded exactly like the sort of thing a two-year-old filmmaker, pianist, songwriter, and professional imagination expert should invent.

wooyjig / woo-ee-jig / noun, probably

Something wonderful that only makes complete sense when you're two.

02 / THE FIRST HIT SINGLE
ZOËY AGE 2
♪

an original composition*

“Zoey’s Song”

At two, Zoey took inspiration from the cheerful musical world she loved and made it her own. “Zoey’s Song” was her toddler-era remix of the familiar Elmo’s World idea—proof that creative reinterpretation starts very, very early.

*At least according to the extremely credible family archives.

“The world is more fun when you’re allowed to make up the words.”

This site is a time capsule for the wonderfully strange, musical, creative little universe Zoey started building when she was two. Wooyjig was there at the beginning.
