If your business only works because certain people make it work…
you don’t have a system yet.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Amanda, Founder of Imagine8. I help founders and leadership teams turn how their business actually operates into structured systems their teams can run without constant input, translation, or guesswork.
What I Do
I don’t just write SOPs.
I design the operational system behind your business.
The kind that:
removes reliance on key people
creates consistency across teams and locations
improves onboarding and performance
and allows the business to scale, franchise, or run without you
Think of it as building your Business Google.
A searchable system where your team can find exactly how things are done and execute with clarity.
What We Build
End-to-end operational systems
SOP and workflow frameworks that actually get used
Business and department-level playbooks
Knowledge hubs and internal “source of truth” systems
Role-based documentation and ownership structures
Day 1–90 onboarding and training pathways
Trainual, TalentLMS, and LMS platform builds
Internal rollout and adoption strategies
Who This Is For
We work with growing businesses, franchises, SaaS teams, and L&D leaders who are done with:
tribal knowledge
bottlenecks
inconsistent performance
rebuilding processes every time someone leaves
Why Clients Choose Imagine8
Because this isn’t documentation.
It’s infrastructure.
We build systems, not documents
We design for real-world use, not theory
We embed clarity, ownership, and accountability
We ensure your team actually uses what we build
We create systems that last, not ones that get ignored
Credentials
300+ clients supported
4,500+ learners trained
31+ industries
Certified Trainual Partner & Expert Administrator
The Outcome
A business that:
runs with clarity and consistency
onboards faster
performs better
scales without breaking
and doesn’t rely on one person holding everything together
Client Feedback
"We're now over halfway through the contract, and Amanda is all that and then some. Her communication is always clear and timely, and her skills are exactly what we were looking for. Amanda's knowledge of CSM and SaaS has been a huge asset to our team, and her friendly, approachable demeanour makes working with her a great experience. Her contributions have been invaluable to our success so far and we’re excited to continue working together moving forward."
– Amie L.
If this sounds familiar…
Your team is asking the same questions
Things are being done differently across people
You’re still the fallback for how things work
Then you don’t need more documents.
You need a system.
Let’s build one your team can actually run.

eLearning Developer & Instructional Designer | Articulate 360 & Adobe Expert
Hi, I’m Belinda! Based on the Gold Coast, Australia, I help organisations transform static content into high-impact, SCORM-compliant digital learning experiences.
I bridge the gap between technical instructional design and high-end visual storytelling. My process takes your vision from a raw concept to a polished, brand-aligned asset that doesn't just deliver information- it drives genuine learner engagement.
🔄 The Full-Cycle Development:
I manage the entire project lifecycle, ensuring a seamless transition from storyboard to final export:
• Concepts & Storyboarding: Microsoft Word & PowerPoint.
• Bespoke UI/UX Design: Adobe Creative Suite & Figma.
• Authoring & Animation: Articulate 360 (Storyline & Rise), Vyond, Canva, and Powtoon for explainer videos.
• Compliance & Export: SCORM, xAPI, or HTML5 for any LMS.
💡Specialised Solutions I Provide:
• End-to-End Development: Full-service creation of eLearning modules, face-to-face training materials, and final QA testing.
• Modern Interactive Design: Boosting retention through gamification, complex branching scenarios, and custom-built interfaces.
• Presentation Transformation: Converting clunky PowerPoints into professional pitch decks or interactive learning module or explainer videos.
• AI-Enhanced Workflows: Integrating high-quality AI narration (ElevenLabs) to reduce production time without sacrificing quality.
Scalable Capacity for Complex Projects
For large-scale or high-volume requirements, I collaborate with my business partner and husband, Matt. This partnership allows us to scale our design and development capacity, ensuring that even your most ambitious projects are delivered on time and to an elite standard.
