Isola & Theo is my passion project. A foundation 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 are made with biodegradable materials (inside and out), for healthy, beautiful skin and fragrant, healthy homes.
With a deep background in consumer goods, and a focus on ecology with MarRi Collective, this company is a culmination of all these rich experiences.
Studio / Blog
Research and development. Bedrooms have been replaced by studios and labs of my 1920’s farmhouse. 2025 should see a return to social media, blogging.
Satis Gardens / Restoring Wildlife
In 2021 I left the Catskills and moved to Central NY, buying a farmhouse on 16 acres. In my first year I planted trees, shrubs and native plants and built the beginnings of my potager garden.
MarRi Collective has been put on pause since 2019 when I sold out of inventory and returned to design with the goal of buying a house and finding home. Now at Satis Gardens in Central NY, my goal is to relaunch in 2025 whether I have a structure built for my kiln or not.
