About Me
About Me
Hi! I’m Kira Carina McKeague. I am a multimedia artist and designer from Las Vegas, Nevada.
I have been working with the Adobe Creative Suite for 20 years now, and completed my BA in Multimedia Design in 2010. I also have an AA in Archaeology, because why not?
I have an extensive background in administrative work, digital marketing, content repurposing and e-commerce. I began helping small women-owned businesses to establish an online presence, branding and SEO to bring in new clients, and it is always a very rewarding experience to see their businesses grow!
I work with coaches, therapists, online course creators, trainers, artists, photographers and any other businesses who need my help creating their online “empire” and bringing in traffic.
I wanted to create a career for myself utilizing all of my skills to continue helping busy entrepreneurs, businesses and creators with the tasks that they simply don’t have the time or technical skills to accomplish. And so, after completing Esther Inman’s Virtual Assistant Internship, Astraea VA was born!

“I reached out to Kira when it was time to update my client planner. She listened to all of my disjointed ideas and made my vision come to life! She added so many little accents that took my client planner to the next level. Kira made recommendations of things to change which were brilliant and suggestions that I’d never even thought about! Since Kira redesigned my client planner my booking percentages have increased. I highly recommend Kira for all of your graphic design needs”~ Terri Zachea • Grace in Lace Boudoir

“Kira taught me how to use Photoshop, which I am forever grateful for. But sometimes, however, when I get super busy, I will only trust Kira to edit my clients’ images. And when the editing is above my skill level…Kira is my go-to girl! I would recommend her for all of your photo editing needs. She is quick, professional and amazing!”~Terri Zachea • Grace in Lace Boudoir and Grace in Everything Photography
