Absolutely. You are a problem solver that offered many great suggestions and helpfully guided many members.
The ZorinGroup are friendly and very helpful people. There are many guides openly available that they have written for others on many topics, some included here on this forum and some elsewhere.
However, the ZorinGroup is currently heavily focused on several projects for Zorin OS development including
- Zorin Grid
- Zorin Direct Release Upgrade
Artyom Zorin recently expressed the weight of this mantle and from my observations, I find it highly unlikely that they will enter this thread and say something like, "I am sorry, but due to time constraints, we must decline."
I really do not think they would do that.
So I will ask @100WCharge to do this for them. Because I believe that it best facilitates everyone's success.
I have created my own distro, though I never released it publicly. And @Bourne has been openly exploring this recently, as well.
100WCharge, let's see if the resources you currently have can help you begin taking steps into the direction of your goal prior to distracting the best available experts.
Once we set a more solid foundation that you can build upon, you may be able to get more detailed support from higher level Distro Builders.
This really depends on a lot of factors and what you have in mind for a goal. Forking a project can be pretty straight-forward and developing it can increase in intensity depending on the severity of the changes you wish to make.
What I recommend is start off simple.
Make a direct fork and then tweak it slightly. Focus on that one thing. Get it just how you want it. Then, you have a completed product. Each step ensures that you result in One Completed Project to avoid ever feeling overwhelmed or lost in too much work.
Now look at your next change and enact that. Keep this up until you are reasonably satisfied with your product.
Now that this is done - You can begin. 
Begin using your own product and taking notes and making observations of what could change or improve. Tweak each item, one at a time, testing in between.
At no point will you ever say, "Aha, this is now finished." You are looking for that point where you feel patiently ready to publicly release your product.
I say "patiently" because impatience can push a person to not release when ready.
Now, to set the foundation, let's start with you looking into Linux Live Kit or Linux from Scratch:
