WHAT DESIGNERS ARE SAYING...
“One coaching session with Melissa is like a month with anyone else. She is direct, no BS, and delivers the action steps I need to move forward fast. I didn't realize so much was possible in so little time!"
— Susan B.
“The connections I make at every retreat are priceless. It's more than friends, it's about accountability, inspiration, support, and that we're all on the same journey with Melissa at our shoulder. So good. "
— Morgan W.
“Wish I'd done this much sooner. I've always worried if I'll get overwhelmed, but nothing beats in person for learning. We laughed a ton, had fun, and still got a lot done. And I feel relaxed and no longer stressed.”
— Casey R.
FAQs
How many designers are attending?
We’re capping the retreat at 12 designers. That means a quiet, focused environment, real access to Melissa, and a front-row view into how peers run their practices - so you leave inspired and informed, not overwhelmed. This is the place to feel uplifted, empowered and gratitude for work and life.
What's my next step?
After you register, book your airfare to PHX and choose your lodging (Skyeview room or nearby hotel). We’ll send a confirmation with the prep guide, packing notes, and the intake form. Plan for warm days and cooler evenings. Bring light layers, sunscreen, and comfortable walking shoes. If you like to hike, toss in boots for sunrise or sunset trails!
What can I expect?
A reset for both your design brand and your business. And a glorious opportunity to uplevel your visibility and your outlook. Your experience is packed with gold nuggets you can use now and always. You’ll step out of day-to-day chaos and make exciting decisions for an inspired 2026.
Will I get 1-on-1 Coaching?
Yes, every designer gets one 30-minute private session with Melissa focused on your 2025 snapshot and goals for 2026, plus ad-hoc guidance during meals and tours. If you want more depth, just ask about an additional private session or scheduling a VIP Day or Half Day.
