Question 1

What is a Designer Virtual Assistant?

Accepted Answer

A Designer Virtual Assistant (DVA) is a design-educated assistant who handles the technical and administrative tasks of an interior design business remotely — including floor plans, 3D renderings, client presentations, Canva work, and workflow support. Unlike a general VA, a DVA has real design experience and understands the full design process.
