The Design Club

 
 
 
 

Become ceo of your own HIGHLY PROFITABLe, FREEDOM-BASED interior design BUSINESS


Over the past 7 years while building my interior design company, I’ve realised that my biggest value is connection. A deep connection with clients, architects, builders, my team and fellow interior designers. So, while I have been privately mentoring designers 1:1, I understood that like minded designers crave connection too.

So I am excited to introduce you to… The Design Club!

An exclusive group mentoring program, but not as you know it!

Be part of a community of interior designers who kick ar$e at what they do and want to seriously level up in their business, transitioning from working IN their business to being the CEO.

I have designed the group to be intimate, with only 5 designers per intake, so I can give you my full support to thrive!

There are no workbooks or modules to follow. Just simple, straightforward personalised mentoring to get you to where you want to be! You will skip years of trial and error and learn from my 15 years in the interior design industry.

As your mentor, I also run ML Interior Design and still work as a designer and business owner, so I can share first hand what is working for us in our business and give you real life scenarios.

What They Say

Melissa was a great mentor. She is warm and genuine. I love how she isn’t afraid to be honest and open about her experiences. This helped me so much to have a mentor that can just speak honestly and plainly. She is also supportive and encouraging, as well as, being an expert in her field. I would definitely recommend her.
— DI-JANE CHAN
Melissa’s guidance and industry knowledge has helped me build confidence and find direction within my business. If you’re looking for help to kickstart your own business, I’d highly recommend Melissa and her mentorship program.
— CHLOE BINEK
Mentoring sessions with Melissa has given me a greater understanding of what I have learned in the classroom, and given me the opportunity to apply this knowledge to real life projects. The mentoring sessions were a worthwhile experience and I feel that it has prepared me well for my professional career as an interior designer.
— NATASHA DYATLOVA
Melissa was an amazing mentor and guided me through many different aspects of the daily grind as an interior designer. Melissa came to RMIT for a talk as well to share a insights about what to expect as a graduate, and tips on freelancing. It was very well received as she was very candid about her experience. I absolutely love her openness in sharing her knowledge throughout our sessions together and I am very grateful to have been pried with Melissa for this experience.

MEET YOUR MENTOR

 

Melissa Lunardon

I run a successful residential and hospitality design studio, with 3 team members. It turns over six figures + each year and has allowed me to work remotely in New York City for 6 months!

And most recently, I have had a baby and still pay myself a healthy full-time wage.

I was working as an in-house interior designer for over 10 years and then crowding my evenings and weekends working with my own private clients. I reached the point where I couldn’t keep up and was terrified of taking that leap into full-time self-employment just yet. So I decided to go slow and was recommended to work with a business coach. My coach inspired me to work hard on setting up the back end of my business.

I knew my craft in creating beautiful interiors for clients, but I didn't have a clue how to find new clients, charge, or set up a website! Finding someone “on my team” to guide and support me in starting my business was one of the smartest investments I have made for my company.

It wasn't long afterward that I had built up enough clients on my waitlist and felt brave enough to take the leap and quit my full-time job! That was 7 years ago, and I now have the freedom and flexibility to run my own show. I have systems and processes in place that give me the confidence to run projects on my own from concept through to completion, a long list of clients that mostly come by word of mouth and are happy to pay for my premium services.

Stopping at creating beautiful interiors was never my plan. I wanted more and made sure that I’ve got more. The “more” has come in the form of TV presenting, guest speaking at events, workshops, blog and magazine contributions, and travelling to international design fairs.

That’s my story so far, where will yours take you?
