Mimi is passionate about helping you reach for your dreams and fulfill your creative potential.
Working as a freelance creative is amazing but it is far from easy and it can also feel a bit lonely. That’s why we believe 1-to-1 coaching is key to creatives’ mental health and well-being. With Mimi, you get a real human being (Melanie Johnsson for now - with more coaches to come) to help, advise, support and encourage you. The ultimate goal being that you embrace freelance life while carving a beautiful career in the creative industry.
We want to keep coaching very accessible so we’ve kept our prices low.
We offer FREE portfolio reviews for anyone who needs another pair of eye on their work and a little push to keep going. We know how important it is to feel seen, validated and encouraged when starting out in the creative industry!

What creatives say about Mimi
“Had a really wonderful coaching call with Melanie Johnsson on Mimi yesterday. Can’t recommend enough if you’re feeling a bit at sea with your creative career! It gave me the boost to work on my website, I can’t believe how much happier I am with it!”
Maddy Vian @maddyology
“Sometimes in the creative process you think you want someone to organise your thoughts and encourage you in the right direction.. So, I decided to do the coaching session with Mimi! And it was beyond my expectations, Mel is a wonderful person and you can see that she has knowledge to her field as well as in coaching! She is super supportive and she gave me the boost and the direction that I need! I am already planning our next session!”
Lila Panagiotou @lilapng
“I highly recommend Mimi coaching session if you are a solo creative trying to establish yourself in the world of illustration or surface pattern design. There is SO much to figure out as a creative, and I see these coaching sessions as my "phone a friend" option. I've also taken a few self-paced courses which can be great, but are also expensive and impersonal. Sometimes you just need someone to look at your work, look at your online presence, and give you some clear feedback. Thanks Mélanie for making this so affordable and opening up your expertise to us all”

“The coaching session with Melanie was great. I had a wonderful experience talking to her. She was open, very kind and gave me some insightful tips. I felt both very comfortable during the session and heard regarding what I needed support with. After the session, I felt encouraged to continue on my creative journey with renewed focus and energy. She is wonderful and I appreciate her art and skills as a mentor”
Illaria @laria.creations
“The practical advice and honest feedback was greatly appreciated. It’s amazing to also confirm that most of the notes you had written were exactly what I had been feeling with the direction for my next steps moving forward. It was a beautiful way to spend the morning connecting with you”
Kelly Basford @kelly_basford
“My coaching session with Mel was invaluable. The conversation was easygoing yet focused. She really helped dissolve certain self-doubts and second guessing by validating lingering ideas, and providing thoughtful insight to pursue untapped opportunities. Highly recommend. Couldn’t ask for a kinder more knowledgeable sounding board”
