About

Michelle seemed destined to end up as an Aussie in Napa Valley – from her youth growing up in the renowned Yarra Valley wine region of Australia, she has always had a palate for the stories these grapes can tell.

Her love of the outdoors and having an active lifestyle as a child led her to study the up-and-coming world of health promotion and marketing; but it was while working in this industry that she discovered her true passion, creating digital marketing content. Due to Napa's proximity to the great technology hub of San Francisco, the dots connected themselves from there and she is now happy to call this wine country "home", where she manages her own digital marketing firm and continues to chase her love of wine and the outdoors with her little family.

Pat Branch, a versatile talent at ME Creative, excels in photography, video, and design. From his entrepreneurial endeavors offering his services the local businesses while going to school in Santa Barbara to his thriving presence in Napa's wine country, he has established himself as a skilled professional. Before finding the world of a wine to be a focus, Pat shot stills, filmed, and worked on a variety of shoots, with an emphasis on mountain biking and snowboarding.

Among the various aspects of a shoot, Pat finds particular delight in the intricate process of shaping and fine-tuning lighting.
