Fabric Designer & Educator

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 (Yes, from my art sales), worked as a former Art director for a large baby company, and am now an online educator showing others how to do it too.

I am here to help you craft YOUR blueprint with guidance from mine so you can thrive in YOUR business and build the brand you've dreamed about!

SHINE was created to help YOU SHINE in the DESIGN with design, marketing, and business systems that so many don't know they need to have in place to be successful.

I will help get you there faster than trying to do it on your own! Because I've already done it and can help you avoid a lot of costly mistakes so many are making!

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."

What SHINE members are saying about their transformational experiences:

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."

Amber Jones- Lily Girl Paper Studio-

" It can be scary to take that leap financially, but for me, it was worth every penny. Mindy is so kind, generous, and inspiring; she truly cares about each of her students and genuinely wants to help you be more successful than you ever thought possible. It wasn't even a question as to whether or not I will be joining this coaching program! I'm 1000% in and hope you will join us."

Kristianne Solano- Deer Fiorella Design

"I felt supported and seen by an industry leader; an experienced designer and a generous teacher; who started from the beginning just like I was. She was completely on her game, transparent, and willing to share her knowledge without fear or judgment toward me.. We spoke like two new friends and have done ever since."

De-Anne Strange- 

"I have done lots of other programs but feel there is nothing quite like Mindy’s and would highly recommend. If you are serious about creating the business of your dreams and willing to work for it, this is for you. It was one of the best things I have done for myself and business. "

Ali Anni Design- 

"With the help of Mindy and her program, I have been able to:

-Complete my branding including logo, color palette, and brand voice.

-Understand my ICA and my "why" for my business.

-Continually show up for not just myself but for my audience and customers with a greater understanding of what and how to post on Instagram.

-Complete my set up of my email list and understand the true importance of this in business!

Some of these I have had on my "to-do" list for a year because I just didn't know where to start but with Mindy's guidance I am feeling so much more focused and accomplished!"

Mitsty Swartz - Heart prints by Misty

" I committed to the year-long coaching and it was so worth it. Between Mindy’s monthly topics and our group chats, we touched on nearly everything. I have so many more business tools and resources at my fingertips now. I loved this program and our online family we created this past year."
