“There are two ways to live:
you can live as if nothing is a miracle or 
you can live as if everything is a miracle."
– Albert Einstein

I’ve always been a designer with a collaborative spirit, which has shaped my path as an entrepreneur and business owner—from founding MI Artbox in New York City to creating Horse and Hay Media here in Portland, Oregon. My career has been devoted to helping artists bring their visions to life, a pursuit that continues to be deeply rewarding. Each project offers a chance to embrace something new and to rediscover my love for the creative process all over again.
