MarRi Design

Design
in the raw

Weaving art and design through brand stories — and crafting those most genuine experiences

Artisan Made in NY

Isola & Theo is built upon the belief that we can and must create healthier products for our bodies and our earth. Curated ingredients that prioritize Fair Trade suppliers, and made with biodegradable materials (inside and out), for healthy, beautiful skin and fragrant, healthy homes.

She has won numerous AdClub awards for her work.

Under blue skies and dewy grass, Mary can be found outside restoring and rewilding the historic farmland on her 16 acre holding called Satis Gardens in Central NY.
