Mindy Young of Indy Bloom Design
Hi! I'm Mindy Young, a Self Made Artist and Surface Pattern Designer who started selling my designs at Spoonflower and grew my business from a hobby to a multi-6- figure income in a few short years. I've created a thriving community of customers who love to keep coming back for more.
I currently work as Art Director at Copper Pearl and have first-hand experience to show you what Art Directors look for when looking for artwork to license.
As a designer, I'm making 6 x's what the average surface pattern designer in the industry makes. I've made a name for myself in the industry for making an income that has been unheard of while doing things MY way (Against industry standards) from home. I'll share all the things I've done, to equip you to find success as an artist too!
I LOVE teaching others how they can find success in their businesses! Teaching and inspiring others are something I have fallen in love with as a business entrepreneur! I have PROVEN that knowing and being BUSINESS SAVVY is why my creative business still continues to THRIVE even though the market is FULL of designers and artists alike.
We will meet via zoom at our first 1-1 meeting. Where we can chat about your goals, what's working/not working in your business, and what you expect to get from the mentorship from me. After I speak to all the members, I will be teaching our group according to the needs expressed in our calls for those who are accepted.
The other benefits you will get in my mentorship are:
- 2 monthly meetings via ZOOM held on The 2nd and 4th MONDAY at 11 AM MST. (Some days may change due to holidays etc.) But plan on that day! The first Monday will be a 2-hour learning session and the 2nd session a 2-hour learning session with a Q&A or a hot seat option at the end.
- An online library with previously recorded lessons to help you with certain topics. As well as a place to find all our NEW group calls and lessons. They are recorded so if you can't make it to one you can catch up or keep it for reference in the future to rewatch. You will also have access to any slides/pdfs or information on what was taught in the library.
- An invite to a 3-month Telegram group channel where our group can stay connected and chat in between our meetings for extra support and connection throughout the month. Where I and others in the group will touch base and answer questions and connect with you in between our group meetings.
- This is a group mentorship. This means being more intimate and being able to get the most support for your needs possible. Not only from myself, but from the members as well. I will only be accepting people via application to make sure our group will mesh well and be able to lift one another for the best learning experience possible.
- A Community. You will get access to the SHINE community membership while you're a current member of the mentorship. As well as a membership to the COMING SOON: BLOOM MEMBERSHIP.

"I cannot stress enough how transformative my experience has been with Mindy's mentorship program. As a surface pattern designer, I have always had a passion for designing but lacked the confidence and direction to take my skills to the next level. That all changed when I joined Mindy's small group mentorship program.
Mindy is a brilliant surface pattern designer who is not only talented but also extremely generous with her time and expertise. Her genuine care for each member of the group is palpable and infectious. Mindy has a unique ability to identify and nurture the strengths and passions of each member of the group and has helped me hone in on my signature style and develop the skills I need to succeed in the industry.
Thanks to Mindy's guidance, I have not only identified my ideal customer but have also learned how to design collections that my audience actually wants. Mindy encourages us to be true to ourselves, and not be constrained by industry standards. She has handpicked a group of amazing designers who inspire and challenge me, and from whom I have learned so much.
The mentorship program has given me a sense of community and belonging and has been an essential source of motivation and inspiration. I am so grateful for the opportunity to learn from Mindy and be a part of this incredible program. I cannot recommend Mindy's mentorship program enough to any aspiring surface pattern designers out there. It truly is a game-changer!" -- Stacie Humpherys, Pine + Feather Studio

"My connection with Mindy first started a couple of years ago when I was in the very beginning stages of my self-taught Surface Pattern Design (SPD) journey. I had already fallen in love with her brand Indy Bloom Design and felt very much aligned with her business approach. I dreamt of achieving similar business goals, but lacked systems and often felt like I was playing a guessing game with how I approached and managed my business. At the time, I had just been offered a licensing agreement and had a few uncertainties about it. After endless attempts to find answers to my questions, I decided to take a leap of faith and reach out to Mindy for some quick advice that I could trust. I didn’t really expect much back in all honesty, but what I received was overwhelmingly unexpected. I remember receiving a ‘voice message’ from Mindy, yes a voice message! I couldn’t believe it, and was admittedly dancing around my kitchen feeling a little star struck in that moment. She was so generous and encouraging whilst answering ALL of my questions. 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. When Mindy announced that she was commencing a mentorship I honestly burst into tears with relief and excitement. It could not have come for me at a better time. I was deeply wanting to up my game and also gain some community connection with like minded women. I also felt comfortable to be myself with Mindy. Since joining, I have learnt so much. I have implemented practical business systems to help me achieve my goals and now have a clear vision of where I want to be. The daily one on one mentoring with Mindy and the monthly group calls are an invaluable asset to my business and success as an artist. I am surrounded by like minded women and have gained clarity and support for my business goals. Mindy’s authentic and conversational approach to teaching creates a relaxed, in-depth and flexible learning environment. I am so thrilled to be here! Thank you Mindy for being a heartfelt and generous teacher." Ever grateful,

"I had the pleasure of participating in a small group surface pattern design mentorship program led by Mindy Young. The small group setting allowed for personalized attention and feedback. Mindy provided valuable guidance, actionable steps and support throughout the program. From sharing industry insights to providing helpful critiques on our designs. Overall, I would recommend Mindy's mentorship to anyone looking to grow their creative business by taking action and connecting with other designers in the industry. Not only is Mindy a very talented surface pattern designer, but she is also sweet and very passionate about helping others grow."

"I am so glad that I didn't hesitate to join Mindy's mentorship program! I originally signed up because I wanted to finally get started in the surface pattern design world. After Mindy reviewed my current business on Etsy where I sell digital templates for busy moms, she helped me realize I still had so much untapped potential there and that it would be a shame not to do a few things to take it to the next level, (like starting that email list I've been putting off for years!). Only a few weeks in and I now have a beautiful new website and an email list that I am launching at this very moment. The education, guidance, inspiration, and encouragement that I have received from both Mindy and the other fabulous women in this group has been crucial to making this happen! And this isn't just my story, I'm watching so many of my peers' businesses blossom as well which is really wonderful! I have never had a group of creative friends like this to share my struggles with and it has been incredibly helpful! I know with the support of this group I will gain the courage to take my business to the next levels. In the next couple of months I'll also be ready to dig into SPD deeper and the path will be so much easier given all the knowledge Mindy has shared with us."

"Mindy's knowledge about surface design and entrepreneurship combined with her openness makes her a great fit as a mentor! She is so kind and encouraging. Her suggestions and insights can help any designer looking to improve their work and/or better navigate the surface design industry. She has done a great job in creating a small community of supportive surface designers. I am so lucky to be a part of this mentorship and that Mindy has decided to pursue this journey. I cannot recommend this mentorship enough! If you are looking to have some guidance, gain community, and further develop as a surface designer, I highly recommend this mentorship program."
