Hi There I’m Melissa
With over 25 years of experience as an interior designer and having coached thousands of designers just like you, my specialty is turning your unique genius into a playground for profit.
I show interior designers how to redesign their interior design business to give them incredible financial success that they can actually enjoy.
This is your invitation to exclusive clients, exceptional income, and the time and resources for your extraordinary life.
See What’s Possible
I've got my life back and we've grown more than 2x in revenue year over year.
Even beyond the numbers, but the fact that I know what those numbers are is such a milestone for me to move from just a principal designer to owner of what I now would say is a beautifully run business. The catalyst for where I’m at today was Melissa.
Melissa's coaching skills were top-notch. I was able to double my rates and find more time in my life to do the things that matter to me.
She really helped me to establish my actual worth with my clients and allowed me to raise my rates and hone in on my ideal client, and ultimately what that did was help me to double my rates and find the time to travel the world.
I sold a $200K Design Fee Contract, moved into my dream home with my husband, and I work with incredible clients... all because of Melissa.
Hiring Melissa as my business coach was the best decision I’ve ever made. Someone contacted me, a Letter of Agreement was signed and almost a $200K design fee! Yes, that was because of Melissa 100%. And I have continued to get more clients because of her.
I landed a multiple 6-figure fee project, my largest to date, and quadrupled my revenues in 9 months.
The support was unreal! She was always pushing me outside of that comfort piece but helping me carry so much too. She’s worth every penny. She will change your life, she will change your business. You will create a friend that is for a lifetime.
Went from severely undervaluing myself to charging premium prices and crossing $1M in revenues in less than 12 months.
Melissa is my business partner, as far as I’m concerned, in that she is there shoulder to shoulder with me. I know she has my best interest at heart and I never had anyone that was my coach, my cheerleader, and it’s invaluable. Best decision that I’ve ever made.
Melissa helped me speed track everything that I needed to get me to the position that I wanted to be in.
When I started with Melissa, one of her requests was making a vision board. So what I put on my vision board were things like getting published in magazines, submitting projects to Georgia Design Awards and the ASID Awards, and just building more relationships with trade partners and to get jobs that I really wanted to do. Within six months, I managed to complete everything on my vision board!
I was able to do $250K in my first year and then it's just gone up from there every year.
One of my first goals with Melissa and in my first year of business is I wanted to get into a six-digit business quickly. I had a lot of financial and business experience and now, I needed to apply that to my interior design business. And I think one of the things that Melissa said was that I know how to build a business, it’s just that I needed the help on the interior design side.
I was able to do $250K in my first year and then it’s just gone up from there every year. It’s just been really great to be able to look back and be so thankful that I got a coach and that Melissa was my coach and I will be forever thankful to her.
