Julie Cosgrove
J2J Creative

  Then                        Now

With over 15 years experience providing administrative support to upper-level executives, I decided to leave the corporate world and become my own boss. Born of a passion for helping others and the drive to create a small business of my own, in July 2008, J2J Creative was born.

Working as a Virtual Assistant, I am able to provide all the services an in-house, support staff member would provide such as scheduling, presentation preparation, web design/updates, and so much more, without the overhead. From my office in Bothell, I am not only able to support local businesses, but since I work “virtually” I am able to work for businesses all around the United States.

I pride myself on being a local girl. I have roots at Pike Place Market, not only did my grandparents meet and fall in love there, but my great-grandmother, Pasquilina Verdi, was and is still known as The Queen of the Market. My father is a well-known children’s author and is the creator of such treasures as The Wheedle on the Needle and Leo the Lop, to name only a few in his Serendipty series. And, to really keep things close to home, my mother and sister are both alumni of Bothell High School, while I am a Woodinville High School Alumni - Go Falcons!

I tend to get nervous around groups of people. In an effort to relax, I often will kick off my heels under the table and wiggle my toes. I have been known to even speak in front of crowds barefoot. This is just my way of remembering to smile and simply be myself.
