Meet Michelle – Champion of Local Flavor and Creative Growth…

With a heart for connection and a passion for supporting local businesses, Michelle brings over 30 years of experience in design, marketing, and brand development to the Ramona Valley wine community. Her journey spans from high-powered advertising agencies to the Navy Marketing Department and Caterpillar—where she even drove a big yellow truck!

Now, she channels her expertise into elevating wineries through strategic branding, compelling content, and eye-catching photography. Whether she’s crafting campaigns for the Ramona Valley Vineyard Association or helping boutique vineyards find their voice, Michelle blends psychology, design, and storytelling to grow businesses at every stage.

When she’s not building brands, you’ll find her immersed in art, music, gardening, and nature—often accompanied by her beloved donkey, Daisy, and horse, Abigale, who make frequent appearances on her social feeds. Michelle is more than a marketer—she’s a connector, a creator, and a vibrant force in the local wine scene.
