I'm a big fan of automation. Unsurprisingly.

But sometimes, when someone asks me to automate a process, the first thing I want to know is why they're doing it that way in the first place.

Because there's not much point automating six steps when, with a bit of thought, we could eliminate four of them altogether.

Technology is brilliant at taking repetitive work off our hands, but it's not particularly good at questioning whether that work needs doing.

That's where a little human judgement comes in.

I love finding clever ways to connect systems, but I'm equally happy recommending a simpler solution that doesn't require another subscription, integration or complicated workflow.

The aim isn't to build the cleverest system.

It's to build the right one.

Hello, October 👋

This month’s Stats & Facts are here, with a clock change, a Hunter’s Moon and a perfectly reasonable excuse to buy sweets you have no intention of sharing.

I’ve also included the Christmas countdown. Sorry about that.

Hello, September 👋

Thirty days, 22 working days and the official arrival of autumn. Here’s this month’s collection of useful dates, mildly interesting facts and information you absolutely did not need — but may now find yourself repeating to someone else.

My personal favourite? International Talk Like a Pirate Day on the 19th — an excellent excuse to add “arrr” to otherwise perfectly ordinary conversations. 🏴‍☠️

Now I should probably go and do something useful with those 22 working days…

Here's to a good one. 🥂

It's been a little quiet here lately.

Not because the business has been quiet. Quite the opposite.

I've had several large projects competing for my time—websites, systems, migrations and the sort of gloriously complicated work that requires me to keep a lot of moving parts in my head at once.

Something had to take a back seat, and social media drew the short straw.

I'm not going to apologise for that. Client work comes first, and I would rather go quiet for a fortnight than post something purely to prove I still exist.

I do, incidentally. 👋

There has been plenty happening behind the scenes, plenty worth talking about, and September is now looking rather more organised. But there will be no frantic attempt to “catch up” on everything I didn't post. We'll simply carry on from here.

But for now, I'm noodling lots of little things that have been taking up headspace and it feels great to get them onto paper, then onto some crochet time later.

👋 Hello! I'm Lowenna, the slightly *tired* digital witch behind Awenek. I'll be back to full strength after the bank holiday!

21/08/2026

For anyone who's recently found their way here, hello. I'm Lowenna, and I should probably explain what a digital witch actually does.

The witchy bit isn't just an aesthetic choice. It's actually quite a good description of how I work. When a client comes to me with a problem, I don't just look at the thing that's broken. I look at everything around it, because nine times out of ten, the thing that appears to be broken is just a symptom of something else entirely. Finding that something else, and fixing it properly, is what I do.

Awenek, which means "creative" in Kernewek, the Cornish language, has been going for ten years now. We started life as a virtual assistant business and evolved into something that sits more comfortably under the umbrella of process architecture: building the automations, workflows and digital foundations that let small businesses run properly, without the eye-watering agency fees.

The tools I use are Airtable, Make, Jotform and Softr, mostly. The approach is always no-code, no jargon, no making you feel like you should have paid more attention in IT.

Outside of work, I read voraciously, have a collection of creatively abandoned craft projects (crochet and jewellery-making, mostly), drive fast cars around tracks with great enthusiasm, and have a deep and entirely serious relationship with fountain pens. The diversity of interests is deliberate: a brain that only thinks about one thing gets stale.

If any of this sounds like something your business needs, I'm always happy to have a conversation.

This week's Tiny Tech Tweak is now live on Instagram.

If Wednesday's post resonated, this is the practical follow-up: one simple technique for emptying your head so the actual thinking can begin. And there may be some rather good stationery recommendations in the first comment.

Head over to to find it.

There's a reason August thinking sessions so often stall before they start.

You sit down with good intentions, ready to think clearly about the business. And then approximately forty-seven things you haven't done, haven't replied to, haven't dealt with, all arrive in your head at once and suddenly you're not thinking about strategy at all, you're just quietly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things that live rent-free in your brain.

The problem isn't that you don't have good ideas. It's that there's too much noise to hear them.

The solution is unglamorous but genuinely effective: get it all out first. Everything, onto paper, without judgement or any attempt at order. The tasks, the worries, the half-formed ideas, the things you keep meaning to do, the things that wake you up at 3am. All of it. The page can hold it all, and unlike your brain, it won't keep interrupting you with it.

And use the nice notebook and a decent pen.

Once it's out of your head and somewhere you can actually see it, something shifts. The noise quietens and the actual thinking, the kind you sat down to do in the first place, can finally begin.

This Friday's Tiny Tech Tweak is about exactly how to do that. Worth watching for.

August has a different energy to the rest of the year.

Schools are out, inboxes are quieter, and the usual sense of urgency that drives the working week seems to dial itself down a notch. Not everywhere, and not for everyone, but enough to notice.

As I mentioned on Saturday, I'm bringing something intentional to that quieter pace this month: a bit of space to think. Not to catch up, not to firefight, just to actually sit with the bigger questions about the business.

I make this time twice a year: during the office shutdown after Christmas and during August. The December one is more about setting intentions for the following year, while August is reviewing and updating.

Where is it going? What's working? What's been on the "I'll deal with that when things slow down" list for six months?

August is when things slow down. This is the moment.

👋 Hello! I'm Lowenna, the digital witch behind Awenek. August is the thinking month. Make it count. Follow on Instagram for a Tiny Tech Tweak every Friday.

August. A new month, a fresh start, and on the evening of the 12th, a solar eclipse followed by up to 150 shooting stars an hour after dark. The universe is showing off and frankly I'm here for it.

The stats and facts are in the graphic. But here's what I'm bringing to August: the pace slows, the inbox quietens, and suddenly there's actual space to think. Not catch up. Not firefight. Just think.

That feels like something worth making the most of.

Oh, and you're welcome for the November fact. It's in your head now and there's nothing you can do about it.

Here's to a good one. 🥂

July is done. And what a month.

Sixteen things learned over ten years, shared one working day at a time (ish 🫣). A belated birthday for a business that quietly turned ten while I was too busy doing the work to notice. It's a series I'm genuinely proud of.

As I close out the month, I keep coming back to something Jamie's fond of repeating: you're always in your right place.

It sounds simple. But sit with it for a moment.

Awenek started as a VA business. It evolved into something that looks quite different: automations, workflows, systems, websites, the digital foundations that let small businesses breathe. That evolution wasn't planned. It happened because I stopped trying to force a shape that didn't fit and started leaning into what actually worked.

That's what the last ten years have been. Finding Awenek's right place. And I think, finally, we're close.

The work continues but training is on the horizon. Tiny Tech Tweaks every Friday. And the mission that hasn't changed in a decade: your business should work for you, not the other way around.

Here's to the next 10 years! 🥂
