I am a Desktop Publisher and Social Media Enthusiast. I offer virtual assistance in the design of PowerPoint presentations (and templates), business forms, Social Media, WordPress blogs, web sites, Facebook, Twitter, Tweetdeck, LinkedIn, etc. I am also a Real Estate photographer.

What does all that mean for you?

It means that I can provide you with a slew of help in branding your look, formatting and designing PowerPoint presentations, design both print and online business forms, design your personal or company WordPress blog, and create a brochure type website for your company, create org (organizational) charts, flow charts or other charts…just to name a few. Allowing me to take care of the above gives you time to work on other projects.

And if you’re new to the Social Media scene and have no idea where to start or what social media can do for you, again, I can help!

Feel free to browse my site to learn in detail how I can help you, and more regarding my creative/technical abilities, projects I’ve worked on and completed, clients who’ve hired me, and their testimonials.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment or fill out the Contact form.

I look forward to helping you get ahead!

All this LCMS! I miss designing business forms, styling and formatting training manuals, PowerPoint presentations, etc.

August 6, 2009 By Kat M B Leave a Comment

Although learning a new program, application, software, etc. is fun for me. Working in them steadily may not always be as much fun.

When I started on this project a year ago, it was exciting! I was learning VTN Ole system (an LCMS), and making revisions to Taco Bell’s Answer System (which consists of six books and is basically their restaurant policies and protocols, menu builds, etc.) within the VTN Ole system. VTN wasn’t initially made as an LCMS, and was difficult to work with, not flexible, and had many issues, but I was able to complete the project.

A decision was made to migrate to OutStart Evolution (another LCMS), which at first seemed promising. But after “playing” in the system and trying out various layouts for an important section of the books I find there are many issues, incompatibility, etc. It could just be that the Answer System books don’t belong in these systems, but I feel the systems aren’t flexible enough to meet their needs.

This past week and next I’m proofreading all the content to ensure it migrated properly. I really miss working on the “fun stuff” – designing business forms, styling and formatting training manuals, PowerPoint presentations, etc. But what I really miss is my social media networking and helping others with tips and How-to’s. I miss learning new systems, software, programs, applications, etc. I guess I’m a learner. It’s my biggest strength along with socializing, and assisting others with technology.

So for now, I bid you adieu. Until next time…

Client in need of PowerPoint template designed…

August 13, 2007 By Kat M B Leave a Comment

Turn Communications – Ken needed me to put together a PowerPoint template for his client Axcess-Tel. He gave me the background images for the Title and Slide Masters, font sizes, colors, etc.I had it ready for him in 1 hour.

Then the client requested that I turn their presentation into the actual template, and that took me about 2 hours. They were very pleased with the quick turn-around time and the template.

They have now asked that I show them how to use the template.

Do you need a Desktop Publisher?

August 6, 2007 By Kat M B Leave a Comment

Are you in need of a Virtual Assistant to help you with your work flow?

I can help you with your PowerPoint presentations—whether you need a template designed—or the presentation laid out and formatted correctly. I can also assist you with editing, formatting, proofreading, and so on of Word documents. I’m also fairly strong in Excel, and can assist you with formatting, charts, formulas, and several other Excel spreadsheet tasks. If you need help with organizational charts, or the like…I’m a whiz with Microsoft Visio. I’m also very good at finding the lowest airfares on the market, and setting up your car and hotel needs.

Or maybe you’re in need of more than a Virtual Assistant, a Desktop Publisher?

Someone more creative, but not quite a Graphic Designer? I’m also a Desktop Publisher and can help you by creating business forms, print and online ads, brochure type websites, PowerPoint design templates that match your brand/logo. I can even help you with Training Manuals, or make your documents look professional, and again match your brand/logo. If you don’t yet have a brand/logo, business letterhead, or the like—I can help you there as well.

If you’d like references feel free to read the testimonials below, or on my LinkedIn profile. I’m quite sure you’ll be pleased.
