Kira McKeague Tech VA

Kira Carina McKeague

Hi!  I’m Kira Carina McKeague—a tech VA, email marketing and ecommerce specialist, multimedia artist and designer from Las Vegas, NV.

I have been working in creative and technical fields for over 20 years now, and I completed my BA in Multimedia Design in 2010. I also have an AA in Archaeology, because why not?

I also have an extensive background in graphic and web design, administrative work, digital marketing, content creation, and e-commerce. I began my tech VA journey helping small, women-owned businesses to establish an online presence and optimize their processes. It was always a very rewarding experience to see their businesses grow!

My goal was 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 Tech VA was born!

TESTIMONIALS

TESTIMONIALS

“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 was instrumental in helping my business grow. She is a jack of all trades and her patience with explaining things in a way I can understand was so appreciated. Her attention to detail and dedication to her clients’ individual needs is appreciated.” ~Elisa Rivera, Power of Dog Training

“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 

“I had a vision for my business, but was so daunted by the technical and logistical aspects of email marketing and CRM. I just wanted to focus on creating my course products; not learning several complicated apps. Kira came in and knew just what to do: set me up on Paperbell, created a leadgen, landing page, and set me up on Klaviyo to make the most out of my email list. I cannot recommend her highly enough.” ~Moyra Miller , Coach
