Hello! I’m Emilie, a versatile Customer Support Specialist, Virtual Assistant, Graphic Designer, and Web Designer with over 16 years of experience in customer service and several years of experience in e-commerce, Shopify, Etsy, and digital design.
I help businesses with customer support, order management, product uploads, virtual assistance, Shopify and Etsy store tasks, email/ticket support, and visual content creation. I am detail-oriented, reliable, organized, and comfortable working independently or as part of a team.
Over the years, I have worked with different e-commerce platforms and support tools, including Shopify, Etsy, Wix, WordPress, Freshdesk, Zendesk, Help Scout, Gorgias, Tidio, AliExpress, Oberlo, Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, Kittl, Midjourney, ChatGPT, and other AI/design tools.
My customer support experience includes handling customer inquiries by email, chat, and tickets, processing refunds according to company policies, following up on orders, uploading tracking numbers, modifying orders and delivery addresses, resolving delivery issues, handling complaints, and helping customers in a polite, professional, and friendly way.
I also have experience as a Virtual Assistant for e-commerce businesses, including Shopify and Etsy tasks such as product listing, order processing, customer communication, tracking updates, basic store management, and keeping records organized. I have also used Printify for my own Etsy shop, so I understand the print-on-demand workflow and the importance of accuracy when managing orders.
In addition to my support and VA experience, I have a strong background in graphic and web design. I create websites, logos, banners, social media designs, digital products, and marketing visuals. I am comfortable with Shopify, Wix, WordPress, Canva, Adobe tools, and AI design tools.
I also run my own Etsy shop, where I have achieved over 34,000 sales with my digital designs. This gives me hands-on experience as both a seller and a customer support provider, so I understand how important it is to offer a smooth, professional, and trustworthy customer experience.
I speak French as my native language and English fluently. I also have a diploma in secretarial work, IT support, and social media management.
Why work with me?
I am reliable, honest, detail-oriented, organized, and motivated. I learn quickly, adapt easily to new tools and processes, and I always aim to provide high-quality work. Whether you need help with customer support, Shopify or Etsy assistance, order management, product uploads, or design tasks, I would be happy to support your business.
Thank you for visiting my profile. I look forward to working with you!
