Our Vision
Our vision is to help creative entrepreneurs move with purpose and build a business they love.
Hello! I'm Valentina, the founder of Mynt Planning.
Throughout my time as a music educator, I couldn't shake the urge to learn about project management apps, automation, design, and all of those "nerdy" topics.
I spent countless hours playing around with software and apps I didn't have a use for... I just wanted to learn how they worked!
Thank goodness I never stopped learning.
Life circumstances, in addition to the stress of the classroom, worsened my chronic health issues. I came to terms with the fact that it was unsustainable. I needed a flexible job ASAP that would allow me to focus on lifestyle changes to improve my health.
As it turns out, all of the skills I built were extremely valuable for running a business!
They allowed me to found Mynt Planning, improve my well-being, and hone my skills to become an expert in business systems and operations.
Although teaching high school felt incredibly impactful, now I get to help creatives in the next phase of their lives and guide them through turning their passions into strong, self-sustaining businesses.

Whether you need a digital planner for the day-to-day or a strategic content calendar for your favorite project management software, you can bet that if it came from us it will be thoughtfully designed with efficiency and ease-of-use in mind.
What is design-thinking?
“Design thinking is an approach to creative problem solving that is widely recognized as a valuable course to human-centered product innovation. It has been called a methodology, a culture, and a philosophy. Design thinking, fundamentally, recognizes that design should achieve purpose and business goals, not just beauty."
