Kiyonda Powell
Principal Designer & CEO, Kiyonda Powell Design Studio
Washington, DC
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.
