Creative Mentorship

What if you had a roadmap and guide on your creative journey?

Not knowing what efforts will lead to growth is overwhelming. I've been there.

I’ll guide you step by step through concepting your ideas to your beautiful designs on licensed products.

I’ve created a mentorship for you…

  • monthly live studio calls

  • expert guest speakers

  • licensing art calls

  • supportive creative community

  • focused bite sized design + business lessons

  • workbook + guides + checklists

  • demystifying licensing, branding, social media, digitizing, mock-ups and creative processes

  • free beautiful mock-ups

  • strategic art briefs + challenges

 

I answer the questions I'm asked daily and the most valuable things I've learned licensing hundreds of designs in a  transformational mentorship!

You can go at your own pace, have indefinite access + material will be updated as I see the need.

When you apply what we've learned together you will have the foundation and confidence to grow your creative business authentically and with ongoing support.

What my students have to say.

  • “I am so incredibly grateful for Melissa. She has such a heart for helping fellow creatives and I only wish that I could grab a coffee with her. She went so far beyond to help me and I think she’ll be there to cheer me on for years to come. Melissa has a knack for giving pointers in a non-offensive way that’s purely constructive and for your good which I think is a skill that’s hard to come by. I’m so thankful to have her be a part of my tribe and the wisdom she shared has helped me so much already.

  • “Melissa's enthusiasm and support are truly motivating. As is her ability to simplify things and connect them to something natural and flowing. Not only did she examine my portfolio in detail, but she also provided constructive feedback that was insightful, clear, and to the point. Melissa also offered practical advice on licensing opportunities and shared valuable references. Her support feels genuine and her suggestions are both far-sighted and crystal clear. I highly recommend her coaching services to anyone looking to elevate their creative career.

  • “I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The workbook included was very helpful and is a great tool that is incredibly priceless. Because I'm a list girly, I also loved the checklist and look at it daily. As a newbie to surface pattern design, I can say with confidence that you included a lot of information to help kick start a career in this industry and delivered it well. What I loved most, were the examples you included. It's one thing to deliver the information, its another to explain how YOU used the information. I feel like that really set you apart. Thank you for putting so much work into this project. I look forward to referencing this course for years to come. It's a great tool to have in my back pocket.

  • "I love that the lessons are short with action items at the end. This makes it approachable and very doable. Melissa's voice and encouragement are consistent throughout the entire course, which reinforces that the person taking the course is on the right path. The content is very well organized chronologically and easy to follow along. As a learner, I immediately knew what I would be learning, which is always helpful in a course. The process bonus at the end was extremely helpful, as were all the process videos and tutorials. Melissa's insights and experience on use of social media with respect to portfolio and marketing techniques is refreshing and helpful for those of us that do not have a website or a portfolio yet."
