What My Clients Are Saying
Melanie was the coach I didn't know I needed! I originally came to her for help learning about more custom elements of design and technical details, but as we started to dive in, I realized that my foundation could use some adjusting. We didn't do a full overhaul, just some meaningful tweaks that I think will really make my business run smoother and my client experience better. She gave me helpful reframes and there were several instances where she said things that I think I just needed to hear, especially from someone with so much experience and knowledge of our industry. It is amazing how knowledgeable she is on all elements of interior design and the business.
Lindsay S.
Interior Designer
While I have two degrees in design, I was not formally trained in interiors. This meant there were many holes in my understanding of the business -- gaps in knowledge that couldn't be answered with a google search. A benefit of working with Melanie was that I could ask her anything about how to structure my business and projects -- even things that I felt embarrassed to not already know -- and she shared her knowledge without judgment. Since working with Melanie as a coach, I've seen an increase in confidence, especially with project proposals and scheduling, which led me to landing my first full-service project just a few months after I started working with Melanie.
