Hey, There!
I'm Mindy Young, self-taught designer, known for my whimsical floral pattern design style. I began selling my designs on Spoonflower, with absolutely no knowledge about the industry when I started.
Little did I know, in a few short years, that the watercolor designs I created for fabric and wallpaper for my daughter's nursery, would take off and turn into a THRIVING pattern design brand now, Indy Bloom Design™.
Now I'm running a multi-6-figure design business, worked as a former Art director for a large baby company, and now an online educator.
I am here to give you my blueprint so you can thrive in YOUR business. I love helping others and feel it is one of my personal callings in life, helping designers and artists tap into their full potential.
SHINE was created to help YOU SHINE in the DESIGN industry with design style and marketing systems that so many don't know they need to be successful.
I will help get you there faster than trying to do it on your own!
I can't wait to work with you in the program!

Kathryn Marie- Dyes Happy
"Mindy is someone who truly wants to share her beautiful mind with others. I have taken all of her courses and this one is invaluable.
She created not just incredible resources for newbies and industry natives but she has created a beautiful supportive community with Shine.
I have met and witnessed others shine and grow into themselves alongside me and it is really a lovely thing. Mindy takes the time to nurture all of us and there is something for everyone here.
I am not someone who has liked previous surface pattern classes or educators and I even was not a fan of a mastermind I was in. I simply put got nothing out of them and was furious at the money wasted.
With Mindy, I have not blinked once, she is always teaching and talking about things I don't even think about, sharing insights and tidbits that streamline our processes as well.
She has always delivered beyond what is expected."

Stacie Humpherys- Pine and Feather Studio
"Before Shine, I was at a place of uncertainty and had indicators and ideas of my style and the direction I wanted to go, but felt huge amounts of impostor syndrome.
First, I'm no longer an impostor, but fully grounded in my identity as a professional artist. Mindy constantly encouraged me to lean into the work that came from my very soul -- and it ends up being the difference that sets me apart."
