Pens and Pixels provides real estate, business, social media, and technical services.
Our company was founded in 1998 as a part-time venture, which lasted until 2013 when we relocated from Seattle to Los Angeles. In November 2016 we decided to reboot as a full-time venture and rolled out a new site and services in January 2017.
We have partnered with:
• NGO Executive Directors or whole Boards
• Sales Professionals in the Real Estate, Mortgage, and Property Management industries
• Residential Maintenance industry providers such as pest control, plumbers, and electricians
• Product Inventors, Startups, and Entrepreneurs
• Small business owners in software services, landscape design, organic food, sustainable development, and green living

A Note About Overseas VA Providers
You may be thinking about hiring an offshore company in the Philippines or India to save money. In my opinion, you are still going to need to perform constant quality control double-checking everything coming back because the VA is not a native English speaker and isn’t steeped in the same culture as your client base. You really do get what you pay for. Save yourself the anxiety and extra work by hiring a native-born English speaker.
Professional Experience
My name is Wendy Hughes-Jelen. Pens and Pixels is a General Partnership between my husband, Stephen, and myself. I manage the day-to-day operations and will probably be the person you talk to most, depending on your specific needs. As a Virtual Business Manager, I provide down-to-earth remote business support. These services can be tailored specifically to you or your company’s highest priority needs.
With over 25 years of experience in business administration, sales, and marketing in a wide variety of industry sectors, I have worked in both small and large companies, with individual executive directors to small teams, to entire Boards of Directors. Efficient and detail-oriented, I support my clients in any area of their business that could use my expertise. I have earned a reputation for my unique approach to business situations and providing creative outside-the-box solutions.
A true team player, I can always be counted on to achieve results, offer solutions, and provide the follow-through that may be missing from your other business relationships.
