Meet Mary—
The Mind Behind Matter House
I’m Mary Claghorn—creative strategist, brand storyteller, and the force behind Matter House Collective. I built this agency to bridge the gap between creativity and strategy, helping brands turn their ideas into identities that matter. With a background in videography, photography, and branding, I’ve always believed that the best brands aren’t just seen—they’re felt. Let’s create something that lasts.
After years of working in creative hospitality marketing, I realized that consumers weren’t just looking for aesthetics—they were looking for connection. That’s why I started
Matter House Collective: to help businesses craft identities, stories, and visuals that truly matter with their audiences. Because good branding isn’t just about looking good—it’s about meaning something.
