See What’s Possible
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.

Pamela Transformed From Being Consumed by Her Business, to Getting Her Life Back and Doubling Her Revenue to $3.2M in Only 12 Months.
Before, Pamela was stuck in the grind, choking on 70-hour weeks, her life slipping through her fingers. Hourly billing was her crutch, delegation was a foreign concept, and burnout was imminent.
We championed Pamela's need for family time and introduced work-from-home days. We transitioned her to value-based pricing, overhauled her billing, and set up her dream team. Plus, we refined client care systems to improve communication and avert crisis.
Pamela’s revenue skyrocketed to $3.2M in only 12 months. Not only has she increased her bottom line, but now she can accomplish more in less time. Her work-life balance is restored, with abundant time for family and travel. Energized and focused instead of wiped out, she is thriving, and her clients are better cared for and even bigger fans than ever before.
Daly Reduced Expenses by 50% and Quadrupled Revenues in Only 9 Months.
When Daly came to us, she was not earning enough for the time she was putting in. She was trapped in saying yes to everyone, doing too much she didn’t love, and quickly became the bottleneck in her business.
We reformulated her rates and increased her fees. Next, we evaluated her team and recommended outsourcing to reduce payroll, and broaden the talent pool. We built her dream team, streamlined automation, and she became selective about projects and clients.
We reduced expenses by 50% and increased productivity nearly overnight, which more than quadrupled revenues, and allowed her to meet her year-end goal in only 9 months. They're now launching a product for designers as a secondary revenue stream.
“We’re achieving goals faster than I ever thought was possible, and I’m in love with my business again.”

Andrea Moved from Being a Workaholic to Being Home by 6pm Every Night While Quadrupling Her Revenue!
Andrea was the poster child for workaholism and flying by the seat of her pants (her words). She was working 70+ hour weeks, skipping lunches and living on coffee, missing out on family time because she was working so late, and feeling mentally zonked.
We upgraded her client process and project proposals and built her dream team. During our calls, we delivered powerful solutions that she could implement immediately.
In only eight months, she quadrupled revenue growth and went from solo to five employees. She took her first family vacation in forever, takes weekends off, and is home by 6 p.m. every night.
“I wouldn’t be the mature business owner I am today without Melissa’s help. I’m in love with my business again!”
LIFE-CHANGING RESULTS OUR
CLIENTS ARE EXPERIENCING everyday
I’ve been featured in major publications, including The Wall Street Journal and Elle Decor! Melissa is the coach who will call you out on your excuses and hold you accountable to your goals. She’s deeply invested in your success—and that’s rare.
Two years into my design business, I was still working 7 days a week with no clear game plan, carrying 10-12 projects at a time. My business was taking over my life and I felt like I was missing the mark on my design fees because I was giving so much away.
Melissa helped me pin down a better client process from discovery to big reveal, accurately estimate projects, and reclaim time in my calendar to work on passion projects like showhouses and press opportunities.
Now, I’ve been featured in major publications including Harper’s Bazaar, The Wall Street Journal, and Elle Decor! Melissa is the kind of coach who will call you out on your excuses and hold you accountable to your goals.
She’s deeply invested in your success-and that’s rare.
I increased my monthly billable by nearly 40% in just the first month of coaching!I stopped sacrificing my life for my business. Thanks to Melissa, my financials are getting stronger. Melissa paid for herself 5x over!
I had my design firm for a little over 10 years, and with several new home builds and published projects, I felt like I had ‘made it’. However, all I seemed to be doing was working. There was no work-life balance, and I was turning down projects, even repeat clients. Instead of me being an entrepreneur, my business was running me.
Melissa was the taskmaster who held my feet to the fire and helped me prioritize myself and identify the three key activities I love doing most in my design practice. With these in mind, I first set out blocking time in my weekly calendar for horseback riding-a passion I’d sacrificed for years.
We added an off-site team to handle all my ordering, expediting, and bookkeeping, so I could spend more time with my coveted clients. And finally, so I didn’t turn away more business, I hired a Junior Designer to share the workload.
Melissa’s impact did not end there. She also identified ways I was losing valuable time billing hours. After instituting her recommendations, I increased my monthly billables by nearly 40%.
