Michelle Battista at Feast Portland

The proprietress of Nightwood Society, a gathering space for food experiences, joins HRN host Dana Cowin in the StreamPDX trailer. Topics include Alice in Wonderland, entrepreneurship, open-hearted living and raising daughters well. Plus, Michelle figured out a great way to stop wasting time worrying. Michelle Battista built her reputation in the design and marketing world, then a fateful product consulting gig with renown chefs and restaurateurs ignited her love of food. In 2014 she co-opened an event space in NE Portland and a year later formed Stockpot Collective, a community of marketing + content experts in the world of food. Michelle knew the time was right to realize her dream of launching a new venture in food + design with an all woman group of creatives. She gathered her dream team of butcher, bakers, and magic-makers and The Nightwood was born! Thanks to our engineer, Aaron Parecki of Stream PDX.
