Meet Nikki
The creative and technical brain behind Island VA
Hi, I'm Nikki.
I'm a creative and tech-savvy Virtual Assistant with over 10 years of experience helping coaches, solopreneurs and online businesses get more done.
​
I specialise in the behind-the-scenes work that helps online businesses run, grow and look professional.
​
From designing a lead magnet in Canva to setting up an email sequence, building a sales page or uploading an online course, I love taking ideas and turning them into something real.
A little about my journey
Before becoming a Virtual Assistant, I spent over 15 years working in administration and personal assistant roles in London.
​
In 2010, I left the busy city life behind and moved to the tropical island of Koh Lanta in Thailand. For the first few years, I built and managed a small backpacker hostel, which gave me the chance to embrace island life while developing valuable experience in running a business, managing day-to-day operations and looking after guests from all over the world.
After having my daughter, I decided it was time for a new chapter. I wanted to build a career that would give me the flexibility to be there for her while allowing me to use my organisational, creative and technical skills. That's when I became a Virtual Assistant.
​
What started as a new direction has grown into a business where I get to combine my creative, technical and organisational skills every day — helping coaches, consultants and small business owners turn their ideas into reality.

Finding ways to make things work better
I am naturally curious and enjoy figuring things out.
​
If I don't know how to do something, my first instinct is usually to research it, learn it and work out a solution.
What you can expect when you work with me
Reliability
You can trust me to do what I say I will do.
Attention to detail
I care about the small details that make a project feel professional.
Initiative
I don't need to be micromanaged.
Creativity
I enjoy finding ways to make ideas look polished and engaging.
Technical problem-solving
I enjoy figuring out how different tools and platforms work together.
Clear communication
You will know what is happening and what I need from you.
Working with clients around the world
Although I am based in Thailand, I work with English-speaking clients worldwide.
I have supported clients across different time zones, including clients in the UK, US, Canada and beyond.
​
Working remotely across different time zones can actually be an advantage.
​
You can send me work at the end of your day and wake up to progress already made.
Behind the scenes is where I do my best work
I am not the person who wants to be the face of your business.
​
I am the person behind the scenes making sure the things you need done actually get done.
​
If you have a growing list of projects, ideas and tasks that you don't have time to tackle, I would love to hear from you.
