Returning to Melbourne, Michelle joined the team at the City of Yarra where she developed the tourism and marketing portfolio and established the Inner Melbourne Tourism Group.

After 12 years at Yarra, Michelle took a sea change and moved to Robe, South Australia, where she opened a regional restaurant and events venue with her partner. The ensuing rollercoaster ride that is owner-operator life provided new insights and practical skills and was the launchpad for her boutique branding and marketing agency Hustle + Hush.

Today Michelle works with artisan producers, food and wine venues and tourism/events operators across Australia to improve their reach and make their mark on the world.
