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.

**Top 3% Upwork Talent** 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.

Skills include: - contract review and drafting - shareholder agreements and deeds - NDA's - employment contracts - statement of claims - affidavits - court applications - pleadings - briefs - letter of demands - dispute resolution Prior to this I worked as an instructional designer developing online courses and compliance programs. The one bad review is a client who didn't know the difference between a course designer and a graphic designer.
