M.Y. Marketing & Design is a virtual marketing studio, providing marketing, advertising, web design, graphic design, database creation and maintenance, event planning and administrative support services to a variety of clients. I have over ten years of experience in marketing, advertising and sales related fields. Some of my clients include restaurants, chiropractors, Mary Kay directors and wireless phone companies, just to name a few. I have been assisting these companies in a virtual capacity for the last two years.

I am a self-taught web designer, and learned how to write the actual HTML code, back in the day before there were programs that did all the hard work for you! Now I use a combination of Adobe Photoshop and Dreamweaver to design websites, and am currently learning Flash design.

For the last 3 years, in addition to my virtual marketing work, I have worked as an Event Planner for a restaurant in Pittsburgh. I have coordinated all types and styles of events, including weddings, rehearsal dinners, showers, engagement parties, holiday parties, business meetings, luncheons, birthdays, anniversaries, as well as restaurant events such as wine dinners, special holiday events for Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve, Mother’s Day, etc., as well as bar events such as Disco Night and 80’s Night. I am currently enrolled in several courses to continue my education in E-Marketing, Event Planning and Web Design.

I have a fully functional home office with a color printer, copier, fax, scanner and all the latest software and technology. I participate in numerous virtual assistant forums and networking and industry groups to stay up to date with the latest trends in the virtual assistant industry.
