👋 Hey there! If we haven’t met yet, I’m Michelle—brand storyteller, photographer, and the woman behind ViaNarrativa.

I help businesses show up with stronger stories and visuals—because great brands aren’t just seen, they’re felt. 📸✨

Whether I’m behind the camera or crafting the right words, my goal is simple: helping you connect with the people who need what you do.

A few fun tidbits about me:
🐶 I share my home with a 130-lb cuddle monster and a devoted husband
📍 Based in Cleveland, but my work travels beyond Ohio
📖 Obsessed with a good story—whether it’s yours or a book in my hands
🎨 Always drawn to creativity in all its forms

Now it’s your turn—tell me something fun about you in the comments! ⬇️

Start with the basics 👉🏻 Why are you in business?

Why should others care?

Sure, most of us don’t start at business without the idea of making money. 💵

But the dream and the mission have to be bigger than that. 🤯

Businesses can become more human when sharing a story of their vision and mission.

We’ve been in marketing long enough to tire of hackneyed sales language. 🥱

We believe that, by being more human (relatable), businesses can grow to have a ripple effect change communities, transforming lives, and developing future talent.

We’d love to hear: What’s your mission and vision?

There’s something fun when others get a chance to peek behind the curtain of your business or project.

If you’re not under an NDA, share updates of a project along the way: what goes into it, why it matters, who’s involved, and which tools you’re using to get it across the finish line. And of course, the final result!

If you’re hard-pressed to create behind-the-scenes footage (sitting behind the desk is like watching paint dry!) consider a time lapse of how your work comes together on and off screen or a before-and-after.

Storytelling can be seen as “fluff” among many business and marketing circles, but it’s hard to argue with science.

In fact, stories lead to stronger recall and other key benefits for businesses who want more effective marketing. Here’s what actually happens in the brain ⬆️
