“The fact that I can truly step away and know that nothing imperative will be missed is something I wasn’t experiencing for the years that I was running GGS on my own. I wanted someone to assist me with the business end of GGS so that I could focus on why I started this whole thing in the first place. Having Andra has freed up so much space in my mind, which can be given to my clients and the greater GGS community.”
Robyn Warren, M.s. Ed., Founder of Geek Girl Strong

“Andra’s assistance has made me more productive, more organized, more profitable, less stressed, and less lonely. I have never regretted hiring her, and I can’t imagine you would. Her support has made me feel like I can conquer the god damn moon, and I wouldn’t be surprised if one day we do.”
Jazzlyn Stone, Freelance Comics Marketer

"You would be lucky to have someone who is so skilled at wrangling a difficult schedule and feel your life change with the amount of bandwidth her efforts allow you... Andra is also someone that you look forward to working with whenever a meeting is set. By the end of it, you know your life will be better."
Mellow Brown, Graphic Novel Author & Film/TV Writer

The people I work best with are usually service providers of some kind. Their business is mostly online. They’ve been in business for at least a couple of years and have things running pretty well but they can no longer handle everything on their own. They are ready to let someone behind the scenes and delegate tasks. And of course, they care about doing good in the world.

This really differs from person to person, but you should have a pretty steady/predictable income. Operational expenses will change as your business grows, but it’s generally recommended to spend up to 20% of your revenue on team members, whether that’s employees or contractors (like me). Other than the financial aspect, you should be at or near the point where you’re starting to feel overwhelmed and not sure you can sustain giving your clients your best while also juggling all the administrative and/or operations tasks.

*I’m not a regular assistant, I’m a cool assistant* But seriously, there are a few reasons I charge more than some assistants out there. For one, I want to give as much energy as possible to each of my clients, which means I need to have fewer clients. It allows me to keep focus and give each client my best effort.
You’re also paying for my years of experience, my partnership with you, and my time and energy. If I could charge less I would, but it’s unfortunately not sustainable.

I got it for my birthday, thanks for asking.
Oh, did you mean the business name? Well, Pixie Pickaxe was a name I thought of years ago because I like alliteration, I have a pixie haircut, and pickaxe is kind of a family name. I started using it as my social media handle and it just kind of stuck.

Yay! Please fill out my inquiry form, linked below. I’ll review it and if I think I’d be able to help you then we’ll have a discovery call. If that goes well, I’ll send over your customized proposal. You’ll fill out some paperwork and pay a deposit, then we’ll get started with a kickoff call to get account access and other logistics figured out.
