Meet Lilly: Your Expert in Efficient, No-Nonsense Admin Support

Hi, I’m Lilly, the founder of Dust and Digital, and I’ve been thriving in administrative and financial roles since 2007. My journey began with a degree in International Communications from Franklin University Switzerland, where I immersed myself in global cultures and honed my skills in public relations and advertising. Those experiences taught me the power of communication and the importance of tailoring it to diverse audiences—a skill I carry with me in everything I do.

After college, I dove straight into the world of numbers and logistics, managing the bookkeeping and metrics at a microbrewery in Asheville, North Carolina. From there, I moved to Los Angeles, where I combined my love of music with my knack for finance, working as an administrative assistant and later in Accounts Payable at Epitaph Records from 2008-2010. My LA days also saw me managing bookkeeping for entertainment businesses, from a lighting company to a sound stage.

I’ve lived in a variety of places, including the Bay Area and New Orleans, before landing in Detroit, where I’ve been happily rooted for nearly a decade. Along the way, I earned a Certificate in Tax Preparation in 2022 and sharpened my skills during the 2023 tax season at H&R Block. My expertise? Efficiency, accuracy, and a friendly, down-to-earth approach to keeping businesses organized and thriving.

In 2023, a longtime friend—and seasoned Burning Man attendee—asked for help organizing billing and logistics for a large camp. That’s when I realized there’s a whole world of people living adventurous, unconventional lives who still need serious admin support. Thus, Dust and Digital was born—a virtual assistant service designed for business-minded individuals who balance work with a love for travel, camping, and a good party.

When I’m not helping clients stay on top of things, I’m usually out camping, enjoying live music, or hanging with my cat. I’m here to make sure your admin tasks run smoothly, so you can focus on living your best life—whether that’s hitting the playa or hitting your next big business goal.

Let’s work together to bring efficiency to your wild and wonderful world!
