Cause + Matter is a New York City-based design studio founded by Suzanne Pettypiece. A certified Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE), the studio works with mission-driven organizations, public-sector initiatives, cultural institutions, and socially engaged businesses to turn complex ideas into clear, compelling brands and experiences.

From identity and packaging to websites, environmental graphics, and communications, our work is rooted in the belief that design should do more than look good. It should help people understand, navigate, connect, and engage. We’re interested in the space where strategy and creativity meet the realities of the people and communities a brand is meant to serve .
