hails from the (East) Bay Area – she's a transplant and proud of it! She moved to the PNW in 2005 and never really went back. After a colorful career path, she found herself asking "what do I really enjoy doing?" A consistent theme was helping people: she loves to listen to a good story and find solutions along the way. When she's not at M+P you can find her making music, going to concerts, making playlists, and spending quality time with friends and family. Her first car was a light blue 1995 Toyota Previa, the family minivan. Man, if those walls could talk!

hails from the Big Sky state and considers Montana her first love, although living in Oregon for the past 15 years, she now considers it mapped in her heart for good! Her love of creative started with her background as a local film & television talent agent here in Portland. When she’s not lusting for the sunshine, she can either be found at a happy hour, watching Dateline, or out for a stroll/hike. Her first car was an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme which made friends with a few city light poles while trying to navigate the mean, snowy streets of Billings, but the heater and tape deck never failed her.

is a proud New Mexican, having grown up in Santa Fe before moving just about everywhere (Bangladesh, Brazil, Ghana, and Turkey) and now calling Seattle home. She is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and a lifelong creative. Before her career in staffing, she was running her own company that supported artists, designers, and master artisans from around the globe. Besides making art and exploring the outdoors, you will find her planning her next international adventure – she has been lucky to travel to 45 countries! Her first car was Bob, a beige Toyota Camry named after the legendary Bob Marley.

His first car was a 2013 Honda Civic; he likes Hondas because they’re reliable and require little maintenance.

is originally from Los Angeles but hangs his hat in Las Vegas these days. When not filling countless jobs at work, he's officiating weddings! He's also spending time with his family, trying out new restaurants or heading home to California for the beach or Disney visits. His first car was a forgettable Plymouth that turned off at every red light, but he loved it just the same.

is from Massachusetts and Vermont, and spent some years in France before making her way to Portland. She’s been a nanny, a farmer, a teacher, and a writer. She likes good design, better writing, and Our Lord and Savior PJ Harvey. She dislikes pastels. Her first car was a Toyota Previa, previously used to transport sheep around the family farm. Go ahead, try getting hay out of a car’s cloth interior.

is from California but spent years in Utah, Scotland, and England before landing in Los Angeles. She's been an actress, done her time in customer service, and found a place for her people-person personality in recruiting. She's often at the beach, hiking in the Hollywood Hills, or tossing a tennis ball for her dog Fenway. She was queen of the carpool with her 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette.

is Chicago-born but was always destined to head south (hello, two first names), and now calls Austin home. With a background in web development and design, she found her passion helping other people find theirs.

Her first car was a black Ford Explorer that may or may not have had duct tape holding parts of it together.
