This company includes a podcast and book series of short, impactful books centring around topics we don't often talk about. Taking her ‘corporate turned creative’ venture further, the past year has seen Michelle transform what started as a ceramics hobby into a successful new business making tableware for clients and she recently opened Sydney’s newest Makers Studio & Retail store, Atelier 9 - Avalon, with the purpose of connecting community through creative endeavours.
