Better ways of working.
I help small, mission-driven organizations improve how work gets done. Together, we simplify the process, then I build the tools and systems that make it work day to day.
Pick my brain with a little help from AI. Tell it what’s getting stuck at work and get a practical idea for what to try first.
There has to be a better way.
Maybe approvals live in someone’s inbox, or the same information gets entered three times. I trace where the work gets stuck, design a simpler workflow, and build and test it with the people who will use it.
From labor-intensive to efficient.
I built an Airtable system for a small nonprofit with more than 100 program sites across North America and Europe. It gave program leads and staff one place to request purchases and reimbursements, approve requests, and initiate payments. For an education nonprofit, I designed a seasonal hiring workflow to help the team move dozens of candidates through the same process.
Hi, I’m Melissa.
I’m Melissa D’Agostino, the independent consultant behind Igneous Solutions. I work directly with small teams, from figuring out what’s getting in their way to building, testing, and handing over a system they can run themselves.
