Experienced virtual assistant for creative businesses
Flexible Shopify, Stock Management & Sales Support for Small Businesses
Struggling to make sense of your numbers and stock, don’t have time to keep on top of your Shopify tasks or just dread customer emails?
I’m here to help! With a love for creative brands and a brain wired for problem-solving, analytics, and all things numbers, I'm the ideal right-hand woman for overwhelmed small business owners.
Available for one-off projects or ongoing support.
Let me take care of these tasks for your small business.

Shopify Tasks
Uploading and maintaining product listings, adding filters to your collection pages, optimising and resizing images, adding alt text, housekeeping backlinks and general website maintenance.
-
Sales Analysis & Stock Management
Get clear on your sales, profit and website metrics, so you know what actions to take next. I can also review your stock holding to see where your money’s tied up and what to buy (or not!) to keep cash flowing. Plus, I offer range planning to make sure you’re launching the right amount of products, not just guessing.
-
Customer Service
Managing and answering customer emails, processing refunds and exchanges on Shopify, tracking orders, handling complaints, solving problems, and making sure your customers stay happy and looked after!
Small Business Virtual Assistant, Based in bristol
Get to know your small business assistant.
Hello, I'm Katie, I'm a millennial who loves cats and dogs equally, being in too many book clubs, nature walks big mugs of tea and RuPaul's drag race.
With over 15 years of experience as a retail merchandiser for many high street brands and having grown my own product-based business, I bring a lot of knowledge and passion to small businesses and indie brands.
Operating remotely, I can support your business as a virtual assistant from anywhere. However, if you're based in Bristol, Bath or Somerset, I'd be happy to drop by in person.
If you think we’d make a great team, feel free to reach out through the contact form below.
