About
The work you love
shouldn't come with this much admin.
Some people build their livelihood around something they actually believe in.
A school, a practice, a studio, or freelancing. And when they pull it off, the world gets a lot more interesting.
I want those people to have more time for the thing they're building — not lose hours every week to manual processes, disconnected tools, and systems that made sense when they started and quietly became unmanageable.
That's where I come in.
What I actually do
I'm Amanda — data analyst turned automation consultant, based in Spain, working internationally.
I map the operational layer underneath a business: the tools, the manual workarounds, the things that only one person knows how to do, the processes that work until they don't. Then I fix what's worth fixing, automate what should never have been manual, and hand it back with documentation so you can run it without me.
The operations, the admin, the tech — that's my zone of genius. Yours is the reason your business exists in the first place. That's the trade.
Why MND Projects exists
Freedom over bureaucracy
You didn't start your business to spend your mornings on admin. Every hour spent outside the work you're here to do is an hour taken from it. The operations, the tech, the admin — that's exactly where I thrive. Systems should give you that time back.
Independence over dependency
I train you to run your own systems. No black boxes, no "call me when it breaks." My goal is to make myself unnecessary — that's how I know I've done my job well.
Built on respect
You built what you have with the resources and knowledge you had at the time. The goal is never to overhaul for the sake of it — it's to help you catch up to where you actually are now, and make the operational layer easier to carry.
It's a collaboration, not a service. I respect what you've built. The goal isn't to overhaul everything — it's to help you catch up to where you actually are now, so the operational layer stops costing you time you'd rather spend elsewhere.
Fixed packages, clear scope
You know exactly what you're getting before we start. No hourly billing, no scope creep surprises.
Async by default
Dedicated space for updates & documents. Chats for everything else. Calls when they're genuinely needed, not as a default.
Honest about limits
When a project needs expertise I don't have, I bring in the right person rather than pretend otherwise.
Who I work with
Founders and small teams — solopreneurs to around five people — who are doing something they believe in and have no internal IT support.
They're not looking to be rescued. They've built something that got them this far. But the systems around that thing — the tools, the admin, the manual processes — are now costing them time they'd rather spend on the actual work.
The moment I'm working toward in every client conversation:
"Huh, right — I hadn't clocked how much time that was taking away from what I actually want to be doing."
Not alarm. Just clarity.
Sound familiar?
- You're spending real time every week copying data between tools that should talk to each other
- You hired help, but coordinating them now takes more time than the work itself
- You stopped doing something that was actually working — email marketing, follow-ups, content — because the admin around it got too heavy
- You know AI could help, but you don't have the headspace to figure out where to start

I write about automation, AI tools, and the operational side of running a small business — together with my husband — on our Substack, NavigationLab.
No newsletter cadence we can't keep up with. Just useful thinking when we have something worth saying.
