who we are
Michael Mariolis
Michael Mariolis is the co-founder and operator of Wondergrass Bamboo. A graduate of Antioch College, Michael has 20-plus years in business operations and management and formed Wondergrass Bamboo with business partner Deisha Oliver in 2024. He is inspired by his herbalist mother, his family’s agricultural and entrepreneurial background, and his alma mater’s charge to make a positive difference for humanity. Creating locally produced products that harness the amazing intrinsic and sustainable qualities of bamboo was a natural fit.
Deisha Oliver
Deisha Oliver is co-founder and fellow operator of Wondergrass Bamboo. Deisha has spent over 20 years as a brand development and product design communications specialist, focusing on hyper-local community organizations. She has had inflammatory skin conditions for much of her life and, as a result, has tried just about every product that claims to calm and slay psoriasis. In the pursuit of relief, Oliver turned to the study of herbs and creating medicines at home from collected flora. Never missing a chance to test a new blend of oils, Deisha has turned this passion for plants into a passion for bamboo.
