What You Get Inside The Mixer 🍸

 A Safe, Stylish Space to Ask + Share

In the Lounge, a “Drop” is a strategic micro-dose of biz brilliance—designed to move your design business forward, one bold (and beautiful) step at a time.

You’ll see Drops in the form of:

  • Close Friends posts & stories
  • Downloadable tools + templates
  • Short videos + coaching replays
  • Quick prompts and powerful advice

You’ll always know who it’s for (emerging designers, seasoned pros, or both) and exactly how to use it.

Q: What exactly is a “Drop”?

A Drop is a bite-sized piece of business brilliance delivered straight to your Instagram via Close Friends. It might be a short video, a swipe file, a strategy breakdown, or a coaching replay—always curated to move your design business forward without the fluff.


Q: Is this a course?

Not even close. This isn’t a course you’ll abandon halfway through—it’s a private Instagram-based membership where you learn in real time, in a way that fits your life and schedule.


Q: When do I get access after I join?

You’ll be added to the private @designdroplounge account and Close Friends list within 24 hours. Just follow the account, look for the green circle on Stories and Posts, and start soaking up the Drops.


Q: How are the templates and tools delivered?

📥 Templates and downloads are released gradually as part of your weekly Drops. No overwhelm, just what you need—when you need it. Everything is housed in a private, members-only portal, and you'll receive your own link for easy access anytime.


Q: Can I cancel anytime?

Yes! You can cancel your monthly membership at any time. If you choose the annual plan, you’re set for the full year and get two months free as a bonus.


Q: What’s the difference between Mixer and Top Shelf?

Mixer gives you access to the weekly Drops, templates, replays, and LIVES inside the Lounge. Top Shelf includes everything in Mixer plus monthly masterclasses, extra group coaching calls, premium downloads, and first-priority access to John.
