“I want to use Maison to help not only people who come and work, but people who need to tap into that part of themselves they may have neglected for a while because of all the other things they prioritize over their well-being.”

Some people join a company. Others were always meant to be part of it. Megan Gray Stromberg has been working with Craft House since 2015 — and anyone who has worked alongside her already knows what this announcement really means: she's not new to us, and we're not new to her. What's new is that it's official.
