You design

beautiful

spaces.

But,

no one

taught you

how to

design

your business.
You know your business could be better.
That’s where The Designer's Blueprint comes in.

You’re great at design,
but your business feels messier
than it should.
—
You know there's a better strategy
than "constant Instagram posting."
—
You didn’t intentionally design your business — you just started
and here you are.
—
There’s no clear path,
you're just reacting to what’s next.
The Designer's Blueprint is here to change this.
Each course stands on its own.
Together, they form a clear blueprint to designing a profitable
interior design business.

Hi, I’m Mel—
Branding and Marketing Expert,
turned Interior Designer,
turned Branding and Marketing Educator.
I spent more than 20 years in branding and marketing before launching my own interior design business. That background gave me a unique advantage: I understood how visibility, messaging, and strategy drive growth long before I ever chose finishes or floor plans.
As a design business owner, I applied those principles firsthand and they worked. My business is on page one of Google and I have been booked solid for years, without ever advertising.
Today, The Designer’s Blueprint is where I teach interior designers how to build businesses that are profitable, sustainable, and aligned with how they actually want to work. No hype. No one-size-fits-all advice. Just proven foundations, explained clearly.

I am finding SO much value in this course.
Love it!
Cindy Dickson
