Mathys+Potestio provides creative staffing and placement services. We’re recruiters but creatives, too. M+P was founded by two creative industry vets who’ve worked as copywriters, designers, project managers, account managers…we’ve even done paste-up. If that doesn’t say how long we’ve been around, maybe our typewriters will.
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.

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!

is a Wisconsin native, and although she’s lived a few years in both Pennsylvania and Oregon, she now calls rural upstate New York home. In her free time, you can probably find her in the great outdoors somewhere with her family, or at home working on some DIY project that’s taking way longer than she thought. Her first car was a 1987 Mercury Topaz with a working heater, which was essential to surviving many brutal Wisconsin winters.

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 designer and (sort of) developer who enjoys typography, maps, and other forms of data. But there’s stuff like hiking and painting and collecting records that he partakes in, too. A native Michigander, he moved to Oregon, then Idaho, and back to Michigan despite its winter. He bought his first car, a 1985 Pontiac Sunbird, for $200 and the heater worked for awhile.

was born in Connecticut, grew up in Indiana, and spent time in Chicago before landing in Austin. Once the fastest delivery driver Jimmy John’s has ever seen, he’s spent more than a decade in staffing. A recruiter at heart, he has taken a liking to sales leadership. When not working – in the rare cases he’s not – he’s hanging out with his wife, their children (human and fur) and playing golf. His first car was a Subaru Outback, usually packed full of soccer balls.

was raised in Ogden, Utah, and has a varied professional background, having worked in journalism, ecommerce, sales, recruiting and education. He loves facilitating relationships and becomes quite excited about any conversation that involves baseball or rock-and-roll trivia. His first truck was a 1984 Mazda pickup. He had to pop the clutch to get it started…but the heater worked.

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.

Her background is in Human Resources and Operations, largely because she loves connecting with people and learning more about them. You can usually find her scouting authentic Mexican food or doing something outdoors with her family. Her first car was a ’99 Chevy Prism named Pebbles whose AC always worked; what more could an LA girl ask for?

isn’t quite a Texas native (he moved from Chicago when he was four), but we won’t hold that against him. He’s spent most of his career in creative recruiting, and can otherwise be found on the golf course or trying a new restaurant. His first car was a 2002 Dodge Ram, passed down from his brother: the highest praise he can give it is that it took him from Point A to Point B.

When not enjoying local comedians or visiting art museums, she’s drawing or painting at home with the love of her life, Pickles the Pug. Her first car was a 2000 Chevy Malibu with no working AC; once you got the windows down and the highway winds blowing, it wasn’t so bad.
