Creative Virtual Assistant

I help busy entrepreneurs and professionals free up their time by taking care of everyday admin, creative and day-to-day business tasks.

I am based in West Sussex, UK, and am a redhead with a passion for all things food related!

I love to cook and bake, and in my spare time can be found in my kitchen, on my tiptoes (it has just become a habit, although I am also only 5ft tall), stirring and chopping, good music on in the background (another big passion of mine!).

I have worked for small business for many years, in various admin and accounts related roles.

While I enjoyed helping small businesses with their finances, I found myself spending a large part of my working week also craving a dash of creativity I saw in so many inspiring entrepreneurs around me.

One day, I was staring at the train track on a packed platform on the London underground on my way home from a day in the office, feeling pretty uninspired by my work day, realising that what I was looking forward to most that whole day was cooking a new recipe for dinner that night, which started me thinking…

After working partly remotely in my last role, I discovered that I loved working from home and motivating myself in my own little home office environment.

So next….

I started to plan how I could use skills I had developed, as well as new exciting courses I could take to learn new skills, to offer business support to super busy entrepreneurs and professionals with tasks that I could see were weighing them down.

In the autumn of 2020, I excitedly set up Emma West VA and Design Studio.

I have always loved to organize - even as a child I loved making and colour coding lists, a skill that has come in very handy in my working life!

And my creative side is shown in my love of music, art, food, and more recently my interest in design.

Combining these two strengths means I can offer both professional administration skills alongside beautiful design services to busy business owners to help free up their time, so they can focus on growing their business and achieving their goals.
