Go from little or no sales to a THRIVING Surface Designer BRAND.
I help surface pattern designers design Personal Roadmaps for success and help you step-by-step with marketing, specifically in surface pattern design so you can SELL designs day over day and build a brand that STANDS OUT.
You’ve created beautiful surface pattern designs, you’re proud of your art, and maybe you've even listed it on Spoonflower or a print-on-demand site.
But now you’re stuck wondering…
“How do I actually get customers?”
“What’s next?”
“Is this ever going to really take off?”
✨ Friend, that’s the exact moment I found myself in—and I'm going to show you how to get your business off the ground just like I was able to!
I did it from only 2 focused hours at nap time to a THRIVING 6-figure Designer Brand.
Hi, I'm Mindy Young ✨
Founder of Indy Bloom Design™
Artist, Educator, and Surface Pattern Design Mentor
Years ago, I was just like you—creating watercolor designs in the middle of my livingroom, hoping someone out there would find them and love them as much as I did to buy.
Spoiler alert:
It didn’t just happen overnight, and I didn't have an "in" or I wasn't "lucky." I do things differently than 98% of designers in this industry. Let me show you my ways!
Owning previous successful businesses, I’ve had to learn how to become the marketer, brand builder, and business owner behind my art.
And when I mastered these things?
My little hobby turned into a multi-six-figure design business.
(Yes—from my actual art sales!)
And now I want to show you the path—step by step.
Shine in Design is your full business and marketing roadmap to go from
👉 just having a lot of pretty designs that aren’t selling
to
👉 building a real, thriving business that sells your work again and again.
MODULE 1: Your Artist Brand Roadmap Discover your signature style, your dream customer, and where your art fits best in the market!
MODULE 2: Magnetic Marketing That Sells Art Learn how to market without burnout—using email, storytelling, and content that nurtures your people.
MODULE 3: Funnel Foundations for Artists Set up a simple system to attract your perfect customers and guide them to buy.
MODULE 4: Turn Followers into Loyal Buyers Create an experience that keeps them coming back (and shouting your name from the rooftops).
MODULE 5: The Shine System Build repeatable strategies for long-term success using the Core 4 content method I teach.
What you don’t need:
(And should stop doing)
🚫 Obsessing about a huge following or likes to get sales
🚫 Submitting to every Challenge out there.
🚫 Working on endless Submissions to Art Calls
🚫 Using curated inspiration that is made for you by others.
All you need is a personalized plan with a FOCUSED approach to your market. This is it.
While others are stuck in the endless loop of doing all the things above, I’m handing you the shortcut—the roadmap that frees you from the noise and gets you focused on what really moves the needle.
LESS IS MORE
Do things the Mindy way or eventually burn out by sticking to the same old things above.
- Tailored marketing plan to Attract, Nurture, and Sell to YOUR RIGHT CUSTOMERS and MARKET.

"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."

"Our Monday live calls are one of the highlights of my week! Mindy’s genuine enthusiasm and care for her students (and her customers) is obvious in these heart-led sessions. I come away from each of our meetings having learned something new, often with a breakthrough and always feeling refreshed.."

"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.
