RICHARD SHAY
Rick’s passion for both the arts and technology led him to graduate magna cum laude in Multimedia, laying the foundation for over a decade of experience in intentional design, project management, and web leadership. He spent more than ten years leading design and web initiatives for a magazine, where he refined his ability to balance creativity with strategy and execution.
In co-founding Willhouse, Rick recognized the importance of merging smart, thoughtful design with purposeful technology solutions. Equally important to him is building strong, effective, and genuinely kind client relationships. Committed to continuous learning, Rick stays at the forefront of evolving technologies to ensure every solution is both modern and meaningful. Outside of work, he finds inspiration in great music, a well-crafted cup of coffee, and time spent riding his bike or creating music—having played both drums and guitar for over thirty years.
STACEY MILLETT
With over twenty years in the creative arts, Stacey’s career has been both deeply rewarding and continually inspiring. As the creative lead behind Willhouse’s visual projects, she partners closely with clients to craft refined, distinctive brands and compelling photography rooted in thoughtful storytelling, bringing the heart of each business, product, and maker vividly to life through intentional design and imagery. Her work has also been featured by national brands and in magazines, reflecting her ability to create imagery that is both elevated and deeply authentic.
Alongside her professional pursuits, Stacey is deeply committed to community service. She volunteers weekly with a nonprofit supporting children experiencing unstable housing and serves as a board member for both Ventura Community Partners Foundation and Friends of Fieldworkers. When she is not creating, she draws inspiration from travel, great food, time outdoors hiking, and moments with her beloved dog, staying grounded and curious.
