Hi, I’m Mel—

Interior Designer, Branding, Marketing & SEO Expert,
and creator of The Designer’s Blueprint.

 

If your website isn’t getting found…

If you’re winging your brand, relying on referrals or social media…

It’s time to take back control.

 

For years, designers had two options to fix this:

➝ Pay thousands and thousands to web designers, SEO experts, paid ads...

➝ DIY everything and cross their fingers in hopes it works
 

Now there’s a better way:

Expert-led courses made just for interior design business owners—no tech overwhelm, no marketing jargon, just a clear step-by-step blueprint to success.

 

I spent 20+ years in big-agency branding and marketing.

Then I built my own highly-successful interior design business that ranks on page one of Google and in AI Overviews—all without paid ads, without a big social following, and without stress. My dream clients seek me out.

 

Now I teach other designers how to do the same— to get seen, build trust, and book dream clients—on repeat.

It's time for you to be on Google Page 1!
