About Isabela Aagaard:
Isabela is a designer by trade and eco-conscious by nature. Frustrated by all of the single-use products out there, she decided to design innovative solutions to wasteful habits that make a lasting positive impact. LastObject was founded in 2018 with the first product being LastSwab (2019) and earlier this year, LastTissue was brought to life. As an eco-fighter and power-mom that always leads by example, she truly stands by her products and hopes to inspire others to adapt to living sustainably.
